"I have now had four operations, two on my arm and two on my neck so thought I it was time I updated everyone on my progress now that I知 home and can fully focus on recovering. I now have four plates, two rods and 23 screws holding my body together!!!
的 am back home after being released from hospital mid last week and am fully ready to start my rehabilitation. The specialist is very pleased with the two operations to plate the vertebrae in my neck and he says that after another couple of days rest I can start swimming and also go to the gym. I've got pretty good moved in my neck already and I've already begun some phsyio and, should see some more improvement in my arm very soon as well. It痴 only five weeks since the crash so really it痴 early days yet. It will take however long it takes and I値l just have to be patient, which is a bit alien to me as I知 so used to be very busy and active. I will not be back racing until I am fully fit as I need to make sure everything is healed up and not return too soon, but, my aim is to return to racing.
的 would like to thank everyone again for their texts, emails, cards and phone calls, from all over the world. It痴 actually been really encouraging but also humbling to think that so many of you are interested in my progress. Now I知 done with operations and we know more how my progress will be, I値l keep everyone updated so do check back to the website for the latest news. I値l also try to post a few video blogs.
的壇 also like to say big congratulations to Josh for his brilliant ride and wins at Silverstone at the weekend on the Superstock Fireblade and for keeping my seat warm. Hopefully I will be at Mallory on race day to support the HM Plant Honda team, Josh and Kiyo this coming weekend, so will maybe see some of you then."
Cheers
