Ash is in hospital

[Richard Tool]

I am trying to ignore Al as suggested by others but it is hard …
so VERY HARD …

As i say no matter how much compenstion i will get a ES still wouldn't be on my list.
Debra had her visit back to the big hospital and everything is healing good but another 2 weeks of no weight on her right leg, tomorrow she has another visit to the big hospital with the skin graft doctors, so another taxi ride with a nurse escort, you think they do the 2 visits on the same day.
I had a bit of a break down this afternoon being stuck in hospital, i feel like i being locked in a cage, i have accepted my lost of my leg and all but sitting around, boredom is starting to get to me, i know its duty of care on the hospital side to make sure i am ready but i just want to get home, i am already doing everything on my own without any help, i just need to get out of here.
Everyone keep telling me i am a strong person and good attitude towards our accident and recovery but having my freedom taken away and controled by others is starting to affect my mind and everynight getting a needle stuck in me to prevent blood clots and the unknown in how much longer i be here.
All my rehab gym work is going good and amazing the trainers but theyvthink i am pushing things too quick but not really and they getting a ear bashing from me saying i want to go home, 6 weeks is having a big effect on me.

Don't let Al get to you, for someone who talks about his work and racing days to be honest he getting old and living on memories of days gone by and as i have said he hasn't really experianced the life style of a true motorcyclest, ride with your mates as i have since the age 15 and still riding with them going to biker parties/rallies together, or just going for all day rides, weekend camping trips on the bikes, nothing better, Al has given up, he tells us all how good his Norton is but its been stuck in his shed for over 10 years, thats not motorcycling.
No Al needs to do something about his Norton before its too late and it be just treated as a pile of junk when Al is gone when they clean out his old shed.
Sorry Al but think you have left it to long to do anything with your Norton as you keep saying what you want to do but don't.
Same really as its a waste sitting in a shed going know where, all talk, no action.

Stay the course, clearly you're a man that has been faced with adversity, and always pushed through.
That powerful will is a knife that can cut both ways... meaning it's hard to "back out of the throttle & slow down for a bit".
Continue to push hard in rehab, exceed their expectations, you'll be free soon.

My OPP was nowhere near what you are going through Ash
But when I had my full knee replacement on my right knee I was doing what I thought was enough physio
I was staying at my girlfriends house to recover for the first weeks going back to the hospital for physio and I caught COVID so I couldn't attend for two weeks
a month after my opp my girlfriend took me back to my place to check on my house and bikes
I went down the garage and sat on my bikes and to my horror I found i couldn't get my foot onto the footrest,the only one was my t160 and I could only get my heal to it !!!
So as soon as I got back I doubled /trebled the exercises they'd given me and pushed every exercise harder and harder
I exceeded the movement they were expecting and got signed off from the hospital physio quicker than they expected
So big respect to you for what you are doing and keep on with it and the quicker you'll get home mate

There’s two ways of doing exercises:

1. Going through the motions to get the ‘rep count’ and ‘tick the box’.
2. Apply some ‘mind / muscle connection’ and actually focus on pushing each exercise to properly stress the target muscles.

WAY too many people just do 1. just go to any gym and watch. Even more people do it when the exercise is being ‘pushed on them’ like by a physio or similar.

Baz’s is a sound lesson. Own those exercises Ash and keep PUSHING !!

I'm inherently pretty lazy
And not being able to fit on my bikes was the kick up the arse that I needed (especially as I couldn't get my full foot on the peg of my t160!! A bike known for its footrests being too far forward)
I think Ash has it right Keep pushing
