I just returned to this thread after a trip away: Your injuries were a lot worse than mine.
I can bend my knee to nearly 90 degrees now and joy of joy I can now get my foot on the foot pegs of my mates Honda Hornet - just! Up til now I've been borrowing a cruiser to get and about on.
I have been told it could be 12 months, or more, knees take AGES to recover. I keep trying to remember what I could and couldn't do 2 months ago to cheers myself up. And my knee did hit a car at about a combined speed of 60-90mph, we reckon......
I am going to go to our pool and see how we (bf and I) can cope with getting me in, and particularly out, of the water. Only things is, I might scare everyone with my scar (which is not neat and tidy!!!!)
Thanks for all your replies. Yes I am daft enough to do it all on Nitrox on air tables..... (to whoever suggested that) it actually seems a very good idea.
