At least 12-18 months to recover from all that,the ribs and the shoulder will be so painful for a long time,hopefully you'll recover fully from the brain bleeds too.☹️

My brother has still not recovered fully 3 years on from being smashed over the head with a bottle.hes on very strong drugs now probably for the rest of his life.he was very close to dying so he's lucky he's still here....

Truth is I’m lucky to be alive.

Apart from that, it’s not easy. I’m realising I have to do something throughout the day otherwise my body just seems to relapse in to a state of pain. Seems there’s quite a lot of inflammation inside. The pain seems to alternate from ribs, to upper back, head, arse and legs.

I managed to go out yesterday and walked a mile, felt a lot better after that.

Thanks for asking.

Great that you managed to get out of the house for a bit Matt....

Hopefully you'll be fit to fly within a few months

So have you sold most of your round now and your house?

Have they given you decent pain killers?

The round is sold. I’ve taken a deposit on it. In fact the balance may well be paid today.

Still got the van to sell and pressure washer. Sold my softwash unit. Some poles to sell if anyone wants them.

Loads of spare pole lengths, might see if I can get £25 per length for them.

The house is sold, just waiting now for exchange of contracts. I’ve spoken to the buyers about the accident. They’ve been excellent, even offered to come and pack for me.

Tramadol, but only 50 mg and only enough for 5 days. Co-codamol, 30 mg. I was given morphine at first but they weren’t keen to re-adminster it when I went in for the second time, as it can mask some symptoms they need to know you have.

The ibuprofen seems to help with inflammation.

Yeah they're not great, especially long term. They can be the difference between laying about and doing sod all all day and getting up and moving about.

Usually the latter is better for recovery.

Ask them for dulcolax. It really helps.

Obviously only under doctors orders.

You clumsy modded

Lucky you landed on your head though; that probably saved your life.

Get well soon.x

My brother got 18 stitches in his head and a commendation for bravery from the Chief of Police of Northumbria for taking on a group of lads trying to break into a chemist (for the drugs).

He was drunk.  His missis just screamed the street down as they set upon him.  He tried fighting them with an orange road cone, using it like a samuria sword because he did Kendo and he's basically stupid.

He was fine though.

He's a Geordie.
