Not sure I was missed but I had a serious accident last Sunday whilst cycling.
Coming down from owdbets to Ashworth valley I hit gravel on a new bridge and fell over 20 feet down onto rocks.
Took 30 rescue people to extricate me.
Had an operation on my sacrum as they snapped off when I basically landed on my bottom. Snapped 6ribscand collapsed lung.
I also have a hairline fracture of left tibia via an MRI scan.
I wont be able to stand for 6 weeks all my legs and back are black and blue. Morphene is my fave snack at the moment too
Just thought Id give you a where the hell is Drewpy update ð

That sounds horrific, and extremely painful. Speedy recovery.
The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so thereâs no proof.
