That's a bad gash Andy. I hope you're up and running again soon mate.

Crikey Andy you are in the wars, Might take a look later as I've just eaten! hope you recover quickly.

Ohhh, nice one... finger dislocation is pretty streightforward... however, the knee got a mighty bash! NICE cut, not seen one like that before Now, was that knee dislocated as well? The patella is in the wrong place

Hope you heal soon! x

Unfortunately the finger wasn't easy to get back. I had a good laugh on the entonox after the first (one doctor) attempt, then I had a local anaesthetic before two doctors pulled in opposite directions and finally got it back in place after several more tries. By then it was a couple of hours after the accident. I've just found my gloves in my bumbag - must have taken them off myself straight after it happened in order to use my phone, but I don't remember it.

I don't recall anything being said about the position of my patella, other than it is a bit deformed.... but always has been. There were however, plenty of words like tendons, ligaments, joint capsule and a lot of debridement (look it up)

Thanks for everyone's kind words.

I'll give the pics a miss too but get well soon Andy.

My son says the bike rides fine, and can he borrow it tomorrow when he goes to watch the National Hill Climb! I wasn't actually going very fast, the problem was what I landed on. Thanks for the wishes. Andy
