Thank you. It’s going to be a long process I think. Finger, hand and wrist movements are pretty poor at the moment. Still it’s only been 2 weeks since the accident.
I had a depot manager back in my shop steward days who had a spongy type ball to work his hand muscles...Maybe something like that would help?

As an aside....I sometimes felt as if he was thinking about squeezing my nuts when we engaged in a heated debate:emoticon-0102-bigsm

<laugh><laugh> That’s top advice thank you and is exactly what the physio suggested on Tuesday.

May not be of interest to most. So apologies. It’s however great practice for my left handed, one fingered typing <laugh>

Following my cycling accident on the 30th October I was back to HRI yesterday for removal of the post surgery dressing and 60 staples that had held everything together for almost 2 weeks.

I now have some small amounts of finger movement which is a huge relief to me :emoticon-0165-muscl:emoticon-0165-muscl the positive side being that by the time I make recovery I could well be ambidextrous.

Cycling helmet played a significant part in ensuring I am still here today as it is cracked on the side. This was caused by double head impact with the car and the road. Fortunately the old coconut only had a bruise to show.

The nursing staff at Castle Hill (had my first Physio session there this week) and at HRI yesterday I cannot speak about highly enough. Each and every one absolutely incredible. They are performing their roles in what must be hugely stressful times with Coronavirus being so prevalent in Hull. Yet you wouldn’t know, they just crack on regardless. They truly are health care professionals in every aspect.


This thread has gotten quite long so not sure if this has been pointed out yet but there is a good chance that you would not have had the accident at all if you were not wearing a helmet.
 
Lucky to be alive mate.

Did my tib and fib in a Motorbike accident when a car pulled out. Off work for 4 months and the journey back to full fitness was an ordeal.

Speedy recovery.

Ouch. How long ago was that? Have you got full use back of your leg? I’ve shattered my Radius and Ulna which are now heavily plated. I’ve never had plates before, so I just wandered what to expect?

What in this crash??
 
I know. Over the next 2-3 weeks I’m going to try and find a bike to stick on my turbo trainer to keep my legs spinning. I have Zwift, so should be able to manage one handed for a while. It’s not like being outdoors though.

Why not just get a unicycle?

Seems obvious to me.

id recommend a powerball, its a great for rehabilitation

It’s an expensive pile of ****e.

A theraband flex bar is cheaper and much more useful. Although you’d still need to be able to actually grip it first.

I’d recommend a hangboard.
