Having a helper for the sag was the break-through and the final tweak of a few clicks less front compression. Took a very wet ride over to Dumfries with WellGroomed Andy yesterday and a juddering mess has been transformed into a magic carpet (ish).
Looking back on how it came out of the factory it was set up for a very skinny person on a racetrack. No wonder Alastair liked it. I am a very non-skinny person on the road.
For those interested Edward is OK. Planning on the two wheeled replacement and fighting with the authorities to get transferred to Hexham hospital. He lives in Hexham. There are a number of problems. Does the Scottish ambulance go to the border and transfer to an English ambulance? Does the Scottish ambulance enter England? Does an English ambulance risk going north of the border. He also needs an English consultant to take over his case when wires and pins need to be removed. Who pays for it? England want Scotland to pay for it as it happened on their turf.
The only way for the pelvis fractures to knit is to lie in bed for 6 weeks. He's had a week and he's losing muscle tone already. Surprisingly he's quite cheerful. And that's without very many drugs. I'd be moaning for Morphine every hour. The hand is now good (and one hell of a colour) as the tendon was simply misplaced and not sawn though by the broken bones.
On a final note, if you want to crash do it near Dumfries. The hospital is brand new, the staff are amazing. Even the food is reasonable and the car parking is free. Way to go!
Sounds nasty whatever happend...Wish him a speedy & full recovery from me...![]()
