Get well soon, you trick cyclist, some injuries from riding a cycle,

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
