Oooh I wonder whether the police might actually investigate this now
It seems the Prime Minister has vowed to hunt down those who rioted and looted
.... so does that they'll also be doing the same to hunt down someone who has demonstrated that they are prone to violently attacking people (rather than property)?
Nah .... I'm not holding my breath .... Cameron was clearly delivering a political sound bite and if anything is done it will only divert all resource to chasing rioters and ignoring anything else.
(.... and TBH I'm not out to get my own back but concerned that this chap has almost certainly done this before and unless some action is taken will probably do it again)

Hi Dave - thanks for asking.DavShill wrote:How you doin Andy. On the mend?
Yes I was doing pretty well last weekend but things went downhill a bit in the week.
Monday night it took me 3 hrs to get into bed and then turn over and then I got a couple of hours sleep before I woke with the ribs hurting so much that I had to get up and sit upright on a high-backed chair for the rest of the night. Lying down was just too painful. The Mrs sent me back to the docs the next day who said that it isn't unusual for the pain to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Unfortunately it meant I couldn't drive Joy for her procedure at the hospital in Leicester on the Wednesday but a friend volunteered to give us a lift - and Willopotomus also offered and was our backup if all went wrong with the first one. So thanks to friends we got through that smoothly.
Since then the ribs have got a bit better but I continue to need the painkillers which still don't stop it hurting completely.
That said it is going in the right direction - just somewhat slower than I hoped it would.
I don't do "unwell" and find it hard to accept that I need to take it easy .... which may not have helped with things earlier in the week TBH .....
The head is much better - largely back to my ugly self.
I'm signed off work until Tuesday and although I feel guilty for taking time off, I'm not yet sure it would be sensible to go back without getting a bit better than I am at present.
More to the point, I hate to think how long it will be before I can start riding again and put in a decent distance - I've not been anywhere much this year so far and I think most of the good weather may be gone before I'm ready again!
Anyway, I'd better stop all this self-pitying-whining, get myself fit again and get on with things.
Cheers

Fortunately I've been able to be a bit ahead of that schedule - though the pattern sounds very similar.BikerGran wrote:When I broke some ribs my GP was very specific - he said "It'll be worse before it's better, and it'll take about 3 weeks before you lie down at night"
He was right on both counts - I slept propped up with loads of pillows.
I guess I'm comparing with when I broke 4 ribs on the other side 2yrs back (when I got SMIDSY'd - the case associated with that one still rumbles on .....). I think that was worse in terms of damage to the ribcage and this time I expected to be a bit quicker to mend as these were only "bruised or broken" .... I will never know which for sure.
The previous ones I got back to work in 3 weeks and was hoping for things to be quicker this time .... but am now thinking that won't happen.

..... and just been signed off for another week.
The doctor asked whether I wanted another fortnight but I suggested they give me a week and I'll come back to them if I'm still not good enough. Pretty sure I should be OK by then.
Feel guilty enough that I've already been off a fortnight.
