Let the dreams go on John. Don't give up! I'm sure you'll be back on the bike before long and on the plane if not this year, there's always 2016 or 2017. Never say never!
Rest up mate!
Life's a bitch sometimes!
Tobias, Karen and the kids, sending our love and best wishes.

Did the person who hit you stop or if not did they catch it on camera?

For those that know Adelaide the accident happened on Anzac Hwy, Everard Park. I was going along Anzac Hwy, and the driver went thru a red light when turning from Anzac Hwy onto Leader St.
Unfortunately I was travelling at about 45km/h so by the time I realised he wasn't going to stop, despite slamming on the brakes I knew I wasn't going to be able to miss him and was just saying No, No, No.
I hit the front corner of his bonnet, went up onto the bonnet, and then he had stopped so I just slid down the side of his car and leant against it bowed over.
I knew instantly that my trip was gone as I couldn't put any weight on my right leg and my right shoulder was killing me. A few people that were waiting at the Leader St lights then got out and helped me to the side of the road, sat me down and called the ambulances.
It was an old guy, he apologised profusely and said he got confused with the lights as there was a green for those continuing on Anzac Hwy but thought he could turn onto Leader St. I have no ill feeling towards the driver, he made a mistake, and had I been 5 seconds faster or slower I would have missed him. He has already got his insurance company to contact us instructing us to send everything to them which shows he's not trying to diminish his responsibilities.
I have a fracture in my pelvis, two cracked ribs, and had surgery on my shoulder to put in a metal plate and they said they found 10 loose fragments so it got pretty smashed up, plus a broken right pinky finger which was going to get pinned today but has been delayed until tomorrow.
I mave missed my European Trip, but am determined to have myself fully fit for the Beat Cancer Tour which is in January.
So keep those donations coming, the journey from here will be difficult but I am a determined little s..t!!

It has been 8 weeks last Saturday since the accident and I am pleased to say that I am making progress.
I had x-rays done again last week where the results produced both good and not so good news.
Good news - I'm allowed out of the wheelchair :cup: This has meant so much more freedom, not having to get chauffered everywhere, doesn't take 4 mins just to take a leak by the time I get off the couch, into the wheelchair, wheel to the toilet, and back again.
The not so good news is that the shoulder x-ray showed that I still have a large gap in the middle of my clavicle - (collar bone). (The middle part shattered to bits so I have a gap betweeen the two sides). This means that my metal plate (which goes across the bone and then under the shoulder joint) will be in for 6 months. This really sucks as it really limits my shoulder movement as the muscles pinch against the plate each time I try move my arm either forward or up so always painful.
The ribs are all healed, but the finger is still bent at almost 90degrees. I can move it with my other hand but not on its own so this may mean another surgery if it doesn't improve.
Still - looking on the bright side, I am still alive, I am out of the wheelchair, I am on the indoor trainer bike, and with a bit of luck I'll be able to ride back out on the road in about 5 weeks time, and in about 3 months time I will be getting my new bike!!

I had similar problems with a wrist reconstruction, with the tendons catching on the plates. Not pleasant. Once you get rid of the plates it is soooo much better.
All the best, Marschy

I hope the coppers take his license off him. The amount of " I was confused " excuses from people who should no longer be driving is ridiculous. Every time someone puts a car through a shopping centre window it is an old biddy who can't tell which one is the stop pedal any more.
