Unbelievably, this POST is simply to advise that I have been unable to attend to my usual website duties for MPN-MATE RF.
On Good Friday, just after leaving my cycling companion Andrew, I was heading east towards home feeling awesome after an excellent Ride with great company.
Sadly, not long after I left Andrew, I had stopped at some traffic lights before proceeding easterly towards Bella Vista & home. Approximately 100m ahead was a left hand turn and upon reaching & passing that turn off, suddenly a huge Black, shiny new style ute with a canopy came from behind my RH Side and cut directly across my path of travel.
It was all so very sudden, no real reaction time afforded to me, and I collided with the LF Hand side of that vehicle. First I was thrown into the rear of that vehicle before being violently flung to the ground predominantly upon my RH side.
It was all quite a shock and very painful really. The Driver never attempted to stop (according to witnesses), and must have known there had been a significant impact!
Many of my injuries were the usual bruises and contusions one might expect, however, a couple of broken ribs and a nasty fracture to my right elbow were my main complaints. The RH elbow has a very large sub-cutaneous swelling that saw me returned to hospital for a day's reassessment. It's still very swollen & my RH arm is badly bruised from wrist to shoulder. Hurts to breath, laugh, cough or sneeze... But I will recover in due course no doubt!
Just wanted to let all & sundry know why I am being so quiet at the present. Will be back to full duties shortly I am sure...
Best wishes all...
Steve
