Pugwash's peg-leg

[pugwash]

S'funny how quickly your life can change.

Last Saturday (30th) I had the misfortune to hit a lorry head on with my motorcycle and somehow survived the collision.
Afterwards I found a leg missing, mid thigh.

The most interesting thing was I met my 'Guardian Angel' briefly at the moment of impact and told me 'not to worry, everything would be ok'.

To my surprise it's true, I'm already making remarkably long strides, with one leg, towards a good recovery.

Hopefully, time will be kind ....... I'll let you all know as time rolls by.

Wow! Wishing the best for you during this time of 'transition.'

Good GOD, man! That is NOT the way to turn your boyhood dream of becoming a pirate in reality! Now we have to pass around the collection plate to buy you one of these... Seriously though, I hope this tragic change in your life will not diminish the joy in your life. Know that you have friends here for support. We have to get you a proper pirate name.

Already found you a crew...

Clearly--and fortunately for you and all of us--someone was looking out for you! Here's to a smooth and speedy recovery.

Oh wow that’s an awful accident you have endured. Your positive outlook and attitude will put you on a rapid path to a complete recovery.
Wishing you a speedy return to your best life.

 

[Smithy]

As a biker myself I have to ask the inevitable question, how’s the bike?

Seriously, best wishes to you, Pugwash.

 

[Namabiiru]

Wow! you're taking this better than I would have! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I wonder how I would be after such an accident. HOPEFULLY I would have the same outlook as you. Your post is a true inspiration.

The package arrived, thank you for all your help. Don't know when I'll get to see the kits, but soon I hope

Hi guys, thanks for your love.....here's an update:-

My optimism remains high, prognosis good.

House re-development needs assessing, so I can get about.
My wheelchair is being modified to fit me; future transport need likely to take a while.
The bike is impounded by the Police, who told my the damage is minimal, so time will tell, though my driving days are over.

Don't know how much of my 'bravado' is the results of Morphine. but once again, thank you for all your kind thoughts.

I'll be back.
