This weekends tomfoolery resulted in.......
OTB resulting in a scratch (or so I thought) the bit i can see looked OK, but it foes from my waist to my shoulder blade and is definately more of a cut round the back! And ends in an almighty bruise over my left shoulderblade!
A chunk of flesh missing from my right foot after scuffing it on a crack in the driveway barefoot, thankfully drunk at the time so no painfull :p
off to a sorts physic for a first consultation on my ankle thats just doesn't seem to work anymore. Too many instances of rolling it playing football I am guessing 🙁
Oh my goodness! Speedy recovery to you all!
Get Well Soon to everyone!!
I was up on Friday in a short weather Window to the Nevis Range Red Downhill and loved it, first run excellent but felt that I had to go faster to get the most out of the section in the treeline. Second run, got down the most technical section past the bedrock river crossing then it goes a bit blank!
Easy bit, going between two trees then opening up to a shallow berm. My mate was about 5 seconds before me, heard an almighty crash. Me face down in the trail, moved my bike then me as I was starting to speak. For 30 mins kept repeating, what day is it, where's Ian is this ths second run? Scraped from should to hip, dislocated left shoulder again but popped back in. This is the strange bit I was wearing Race Face Rallye Downhill pads and during the fall my elbow had a hole in it straight down to the bone! Neoprene and Plastic appear undamaged. It hadnt slipped round.
Cannot remember the crash, talking pish for 30 mins (other than usual)and the first part of getting my pads taken off to expose injuries.
Concussion it seems, could only find a very small dent in my helmet at the back right hand corner. Doc says, it would have been a fractured skull otherwise. Dread to think how bad the elbow would have been so only 2 internal stitches and four external.
Tried to play down the concussion to the doc so not to get kept in 😳 My Mate reminded me to say to the doc I wasnt that confused as organised replacement tickets for next year as injured. Thanks Nevis Range
