Crashed the bike, had 5 days in the hospital and now have some spare time on my couch with the happy pills ...

I can't sit comfortably at my desk for for any length of time yet or I'd be playing a few games (Next week hopefully :D). As the saying goes, The devil makes work for Idle hands and with all that time to browse I now find that I have booked a few track days for next year, earliest bookings I ever did ... the Missus aint too impressed :(
 
Minor spill really, blind left hand bend on the way to work not fast and wearing jeans - should have known better! Traffic was backed up to the corner and I took 'evasive' action with me staying in my lane and the bike crossing into oncoming traffic and hitting the wall (it managed to miss a lorry!) but the bike caught my knee/thigh as I was leaving it and I scraped the road ..

Knee skinned to the bone and signed off for 3 days .... back to work for a couple of days on the mend and then go back to A&E 8 days after the off as the pain got worse where I was advised to exercise my knee to help absorb the 'fluid'. Next day I go down again to A&E in even more pain ... they fast tracked me and the doctor cut out the wound on the A&E table (ouch!) and I had an op the next day to get rid of the infected stuff and clean me out - diagnosis was Sceptic knee/leg :eek: The impact had killed tissue near my bone that later got infected .. 3 days + 5 days in hospital and 4 more weeks signed off for a minor spill .... bah, leathers would probably have let me get away with bruising!

13 weeks of this would do me in!
