Currently her right arm is completely limp, as she had a nerve block, due to wear off in the wee small hours ... :o</p> <p>Her main question: "How soon can I get back to BMF ?" :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148593 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:45:10 +0000 I were right about that saddle 148593@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Scoosh</p> <p>Sorry to hear that. A lady friend fell off her bike on leaf jam a few years back. Tiny bruise on top of the shoulder, but Röntgen ray images showed a totally exploded femur head, which had to be screwed back together. She's totally fine now, hope Mrs S is as lucky. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148591 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:33:36 +0000 gembo 148591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Struth scoosh, that is terrible, sorry to hear about this. I have narrowly avoided going in to RIE for my lungs this week too. My Empyema has been downgraded to pneumonia and para pneumonic effusions, meaning the infection was in the lung but the fluid in the pleural lining was infection free and is going down over time (similar to what Sally hinch mentioned), so hopefully I will get the OK in about four weeks. </p> <p>In St. John's hospital during my recent stay, the food, if you picked wisely was not bad at all, some fresh fruit, fruit juices, vegetarian meals. All prepared at the hospital. Alas RIE supplied from Dunddee.</p> <p>Hope Mrs Scoosh gets out quickly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148590 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:27:19 +0000 Scoosh 148590@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>IWRATS - please do not take gembo's counsel to "give your shoulder a break" ... Mrs S is currently in the RIE having an op on her shoulder after doing just that 18 months ago ... :(<br /> Very painful. Not nice. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148570 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:21:29 +0000 I were right about that saddle 148570@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Why the very thought has rendered me quite giddy, Mr Focus. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148566 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:01:42 +0000 Focus 148566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aren't we trying to do away with <em>barriers to cycling</em>? Get rid of the railings!!! ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148565 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:38:12 +0000 I were right about that saddle 148565@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I could tuck the aqueduct under my oxter, but I'm worried I'd then be transfixed by vertigo, unable to proceed.</p> <p>I do like the idea of having the railings upholstered, though it might be more exciting just to make them a bit more elastic - replace the uprights with slalom poles maybe? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148563 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:24:06 +0000 I were right about that saddle 148563@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I could tuck the aqueduct under my oxter, but I'm worried I'd then be transfixed by vertigo, unable to proceed.</p> <p>I do like the idea of having the railings upholstered, though it might be more exciting just to make them a bit more elastic - replace the uprights with slalom poles maybe? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148560 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:13:59 +0000 gembo 148560@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>IWRATS, just hook your arm over the rail and rest your oxter on it! give your shoulder a break. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148556 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:02:19 +0000 chdot 148556@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I'll be getting on Wiggle at lunchtime for some shoulder armour"</p> <p>A more effective solution would be to get the whole rail lagged. This would be of use to all aqueduct riders.</p> <p>I think that you should start a campaign at once... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12557#post-148552 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:56:06 +0000 I were right about that saddle 148552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The last few weeks I've noticed a tender spot on my right shoulder, which has developed into a nice bruise. I was wondering how on earth I'd got it until this morning.</p> <p>Coming over the Longstone viaduct there was gaggle of bicycles coming the other way and as usual I decided to stop and let them pass. I pulled to the right and stopped, allowing myself to drop against the railings. Ouch! The mystery bruise was due to me repeatedly and with increasing casualness hitting the thin top rail of the ironworks. I'll be getting on Wiggle at lunchtime for some shoulder armour. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12456#post-146749 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 11:37:21 +0000 Radgeworks 146749@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/new-book-cycling-shouldnt-hurt-reveals-gruesome-images-of-injured-london-cyclists-9217640.html">linkee</a><br /> Dear All</p> <p>Just came across this fascinating article, i think i will procure this as soon as.... very apt timing.</p> <p>Radgeworks </p>
