“I have a hospital bed and all the equipment to keep me going back at my headquarters whꦺich is fantastic - everything seems to be healing well.
“I have a video conferenc🎃e with the Walton centre regarding my spine fracture in two weeks, this is 🤪after having a CT scan last week so hopefully things are improving and I can lose the back brace soon!
“The hands, shoulder, ribs, jaw, face etc are all pretty much back to normal and not giving mucꦓh pain or discomfort now which is ni🍷ce!
“The next stage is w♑aiting for an appointment from Broad Green to review the legs and see where we are up to, and let the surgeons decide on the next step (pardon the pun).
“We have done a few firsts now since the accident including riding a mobility scooter, getting in and out of the passenger seat of the car and having a stand up wee. So things are moving for✤ward and getting back to normal slowly!
“After looking over my riding kit I am so glad I had exc𝔉ellent quality gear on and thanks to the following products I am able t♒o still be here with a view to riding again.
“Knox back/chest protection and gloves, Alpinestars boots, ADRrac𓄧ingproducts custom leathers, 𝓀Arai Helmets UK.
“For those of you doing the Manx GP next month please give your protective rid𒁃ing gear that extra bit of thought. It's definitely worth spending an extra few pounds to get the best kit you can afford, just in case the worst should happen!
“I would like to say a huge thankyou to all my friends and family for the visits/cards and messages to keep my spirits up and smiles big (including Katie ♕Redmond for the daily leg moisturising)♎, it really makes a difference to the recovery knowing you have a big loving crew supporting you!
“Also a big thankyou to the nurses, physios, doctors, OTs and other staff at Nobles hospital for looking after me well for the last few weeks. A big thankyou to Alex Clarke, Boris,Aron Redmond, Lauren Exon for looking after the garage. A big thankyou toMoffitt Dave for his constant support and advice on recovery and checking in on me to make sure the smiles are still happening and a super big thankyou to mꦺy best mate, wife and personal nurse Shel🌟ley Redmond for all your help and attention every day.
“I promise we will goꩵ on a holiday without (many) bikes involved very soonꦰ.”
