    Amazingly no broken bones yet (touch wood)in my 44 years , though right knee is a bit gammy due to RD 250 , rain and manhole cover on the racing line

    Just a broken ankle for me, something that probably resulted from a softball match in Hyde Park (for the uninitiated, softballs aren't soft!). I didn't even know it was broken until 2 years later when I tore all my ankle ligaments and the X-Ray showed it up! It's still broken now.

    Update

    It been 10 days since my accident. I can happily report that I can now type on keyboard with two handed, cooked myself (I had takeaways and in pub in last 9 days) and opening bottle/cans

    Althrough I am still on cast, it is getting easier by day and only pain I get is very sore elbow.

    I got 3 to 5 weeks to go before I get my cast removed.

    Glad to hear it is healing up.

    Some of it going round, a good friend fractured his wrist in a cycling accident a week ago. I'm just busily wrapping myself in cotton wool.

    Hi there,

    I've got a broken cheekbone. Years ago it somehow got underneath the sole of a boot in a fairly nasty pub fight !! It was in "The Midland Hotel" in Brum if anyone remembers it - nice place !!!

    I think it has been converted into shops now but you can still see the name in the stonework.

    Cheers,

    Del.

    Just had a letter from hospital saying I have been booked for "MOT" on my arm and if everything goes to plan then hopefully cast on my arm will be removed..

    Isn't that just giving you the opportunity to break it again?

    I am surprised they are not just going with the full body cast option, preventative health care.

    I have suffered enough health problems in my whole life.. twice hit by car, ankle dislocated in rugby scrum, fell down the stairs quite few times (alcohol may play part in it)..

    Full body cast would be nice..
