So I wrote to Mr Tucker, the Metal Man who made good all the spinal metalwork that Jonathan Lucas put in, in 2016 … and subsequently started falling apart in 2018… and I told him about my crash.
I told him that I didn’t seem bent, no bits of metal were sticking out of me, I had no haemorrhaging anywhere, and my spasms weren’t worse than usual.
He said that ‘ there were no red flags and to see how I felt in a week’. That’s what I hoped he’d say, as it’s actually a right palaver going to hospital ( and I really don’t like it ).
A week on and I think it’s ok, spinally.
My chest still hurts though, on the right side.
I’m currently in Triride UK and they are fixing what I did. The back axle shifted in my crash and it’s not been driving quite right… so they are re jigging it.
Top lads, Nathan and Lea.
As is GG who has once more stepped up to the plate and helped me in my hour(s) of need.
Well she’s not a lad, but you know what I mean.
