finally the snow and ice has gone. got some new tyres, freewheel, pedals and cranks ready for alot of riding in spring
but on friday 14th while at work i managed to smash my knee into the corner of a brick wall. was very painful especially when i saw the blood pumpig through my pants.
rolled up my pants leg to reveal a large hole in my leg with what looked like some tissue bits sticking out.
anyway after a quick ride to hospital in an ambulance and various doctors stick there fingers in the hole and feeling around they decided i need an op.
the op was origianlly just to wash the wound properly to make sure there are no bits of brick left in. this invloved slitting my knee all the way across and peeling the skin back, when they did this apparntly a piece of my thigh muscle was flapping around. the brick had made a neat slice straight through the muscle connecting to my knee.
not sure how long it is going to take to heal but i now have my leg in a splint for at least to weeks to stop the muscle ripping again.
only picture i managed to take is below. this was before the adrenaline wore off and the pain kicked in lol
