Hello all, nice to be online after plenty of time well and truly out of action. I posted a message through my lovely wife Moni a week or so ago stating I would post a message myself when I could do it myself and here it is via voice recognition software. Typing is to come – I tried it today and it does not look too far away.

I am now settled in to the rehabilitation centre and am underway with physiotherapy and occupational therapy. I can eat a little bit myself but I must admit it is a real circus act – please enjoy the video that we’ve attached of my first meal. (see embedded video at bottom of post) I’ve also been playing with Ashley and because she’s three years old our drawings are very similar. I’ve also attached my first drawing done completely with my left shoulder. It is of course of no one else other than Humpty Dumpty. Humpty is a standing joke between Ashley and I. It is the first thing she learned to draw herself. I also attempted to sign the drawing but self-admittedly my signature is very ordinary.

My very original interpretation of Humpty


I want to thank you for your support and your feedback and responses on the website has been overwhelming and certainly helped me get to this point. I’ve enjoyed reading from various people everyday including some lovely surprise guests as well as regular responses from wonderful friends and family.

A few people have been in to visit recently and have asked a few questions about the accident. I hadn’t wanted to put any details up until I had dealt with it mentally and could post the message myself. Whilst on a training ride on Beach Rd, I was hit by a vehicle. This forced me out of control. In front of me was a parked vehicle and I hit it rendering me unconscious and causing my broken neck.

I am thrilled to be back online and able to communicate with this wonderful world. I look forward to posting more messages as my skills and stamina improved by the day thank you all.

Regards,

Forbesy
