Re: UK PDML meet-up in May, anyone?
It happened just over four weeks ago so I’m well on the road to recovery now. I was in A for about four hours - you go to the front of the queue if you have a head injury, so I was seen and treated straight away. Once my head had cleared I noticed they’d written ‘?stroke’ against my name on the whiteboard. I was looking forward to that, but sadly none of the nurses stroked me.

Re: UK PDML meet-up in May, anyone?
The bike wasn’t particularly damaged apparently. The helmet was a write-off, of course, but they must be insured for that sort of thing. I’ll try and make it to Dorset. I’m trying to plan my hols at the moment, which were going to involve a vintage bike ride in France that week, but I think that’s probably off the cards now and I’ll go walking somewhere in June instead with some other Francophile friends. > On 18 Mar 2023, at 10:15, mike wilson wrote: > > At least it was someone else's bike (as all the motorcyclists on here will > be thinking) but full marks for commitment.

At least it was someone else's bike (as all the motorcyclists on here will be thinking) but full marks for commitment.

Re: UK PDML meet-up in May, anyone?
That sounds very unpleasant and disabling, I hope you make a quick and complete recovery. It was a motorbike mishap for me. I was doing my compulsory basic training with a view to buying a 125-equivalent electric motorbike. When the instructor dropped his arm to signal an emergency stop I ballsed it up and came off. Concussion, bruising and a broken collarbone were my reward, but I’ve decided that motorbikes and I are not meant for each other. > On 17 Mar 2023, at 18:27, Mark Roberts wrote: > > Bob W PDML wrote: > >> I’ll be in Paris from 18-21 May. >> >> 10th and 11th are possibilities but I’m trying to arrange a trip to >> Amsterdam and the NL for May sometime, so it’s a bit uncertain. >> >> It also depends to some extent how well my fractured collarbone has healed. >> I expect to be discharged at the end of April, and so far everything’s >> going well, but who knows? > > Yikes!

Yikes! Didn't know about the collarbone. Cycling mishap? I just had surgery on my left hand two weeks ago (and had the stitches removed 2 hours ago!) for Dupuytren's Contracture on two fingers. Still painful and inconvenient and the recovery time won't be quick but I hope to be playing bass again within 6 weeks or so.

Re: UK PDML meet-up in May, anyone?
Wandering is wonderfully healing after a loss and sadness of such magnitude.. especially in the natural world.

I’ll be in Paris from 18-21 May. 10th and 11th are possibilities but I’m trying to arrange a trip to Amsterdam and the NL for May sometime, so it’s a bit uncertain. It also depends to some extent how well my fractured collarbone has healed.
