Thank you to lady on Townley Road

[James Barber]

Many many thanks to the lady on Townley Road close to Lordship Lane end who came to my aid when I crashed earlier today.

Fortunately after a big scare about tendons just a few stitches to an ankle. Eek and phew.

Great treatment at Kings.

[Sue]

Hope you're OK James and not too shaken up?

[singalto]

Poor you. I hope you'll recover quickly.

[vesti]

Wishing you well.

[ExtraLifeShop]

Hope you make a full recovery soon; you and your team have made a huge, positive change to the area over the years.

[northlondoner]

Yikes. Good luck !

[Pugwash]

James - glad you are ok.

[mynamehere]

Me too, hope you are well.

[Townleygreen]

Glad it wasn't too serious James. Hope you're feeling a bit better!

Sorry to hear about this, James, let me know if there's anything I can do! Let's speak on the phone...

[James Barber]

Thanks everyone. You kind thoughts and comments are really appreciated.

People at Kings were fab.

Lady who helped picked me up and all stuff billowing everywhere was especially fab.

Right ankle 5 or 6 double stiches (I was too wimpy to watch) are killing me despite the nurofen. I hadnt appreciated how painful it would be until the adrenalin reduced and local anesthetic subsided. Apparently I was very lucky with tendons and artery.

Hobbling to work I REALLY have a sense for how useful dropped kerbs and accessible public transport are.

So you'll all be glad to hear I wont be knocking on your door for a week or so. But I will be phoning people to see what's bothering them.

Paracetamol is good and you can take in between doses of ibruprofen .

Don't only take pain killers when you can't bear it any longer ,take them regularly .

If it's really bad and stopping you sleeping ,phone your GP for and discuss stronger pain killers .

And take prunes with them if something stronger prescribed as so many are very constipating .

Edit - gosh I sound bossy and a right know it all .Sorry ,but it's horrid to be in pain and so many of us soldier on when sometimes I think it could be fairly easily better controlled .

wishing you pain free soon .

Paracetamol and Codeine even better (at least I've found it stronger) :)

Those are the ones they only allow you to use for 3 days :)

King's gave me Tramadol to take home after an Op - was very good.

You can buy paracetamol and codeine over the counter at any pharmacy, so I doubt there's a three day limit on taking it (though from memory there's a warning on the packet that codeine can be addictive).

There is a stronger version which you can only get on prescription.

Hope you recover soon James. BTW, how did the accident happen? It wasn't a pedal hitting a speed hump was it?
