9pm Thursday I got a phone call that every mother dreads - my son had had a bicycle accident and was in hospital. His head took the full impact and he was concussed and having scans and an MRI. I went to Geelong Friday morning to help with his family and see him. Happily I can report that he has been cleared of any major injuries other than a nasty grazed face and one broken front tooth. He spent 2 nights in hospital and is now home. He has his personal nurse (daughter, Tilly) who fetched her mirror to help him apply ointment to his face. We are so grateful to that helmet!! So I hope all the 365 bike riders across the world wear helmets - living proof that they save lives :)
Holy cow, that's a nasty hit he took. So glad to hear the damage was minimal and a great testament to the wise use of a helmet. Got to love the expression on personal nurse Tilly's face.
Ooh Denise - what a shock , but g as you say it could have been a lot worse - Love the way his little nurse is tending on him - such a sweet expression on her face !
I love Tilly’s expression, she’s doing anything she can for her daddy. That’s really quite an injury to his face, oh my. All my grandchildren wear helmets.
And that picture sums up why I no longer have a bike!! Too many lunatics on our roads and too little protection on a bike. You must've had a terrible shock though, you poor soul.
@gilbertwood Phew! For a moment, I thought I was having a brain fade! I always check your photos so I can comment. So VERY kind about my bird photos. I'm getting fit chasing them around......!!!
Just catching up and what a shock to see this photo Denise. I’m so, so sorry but at the same time relieved that the outcome wasn’t worse. Hopefully he’ll be back to his handsome self very soon. Tilly is adorable.
A salutary lesson to all those out there that don't wear a helmet thank you for posting it as a warning Denise, hope its not caused him any lasting damage, btw, I always wear my helmet when riding anywhere:)
Wow! What a scare! I am thankful he had on a helmet as well. Nurse Tilly looks like she will take good care of her daddy! I guess I missed this when I went to Florida! Yikes!
