Hello everyone!
I would like to express my thanks to everyone for their sympathy and personal messages.
It feels so good to see such a large global family sympathizing.
This all gave me a huge motivation and boost for recovery.
For this I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart, as this made me feel so good.
I am a very lucky man, indeed.
Today I visited my bike dealer where I saw my bike for the first time.
Looking back, there were a number of factors that rescued me.
First of all, indeed, I had a lot of angels on my shoulder.
Then, the fact that I "took off" on collision and made a flight for about 30 meters.
I did wear my protective motorsuite, a good helmet and drove a BMW motorcycle (which absorbed a lot of energy on this frontal collision...)
The wheelfork is broken, but this fork has a additional steel fork inside which also absorbed a massive blow.
My wrist still is pretty solid now, so I need fhysiotherapy on this.
My knee had also been broken, as the trauma-team had missed.
Now it's healed quite good, and luckily that was all !
A few days ago I grabbed my guitar (as part of the therapy..... ) so the pulse is getting better each day.
Eventually it's all recovering quite nice, but still there's a long way to go and sometimes it's getting hard due to the pain it sometimes gives me.
Indeed I went through the eye of the needle here, reason for me to stop driving the motorbike.
Again, thank you all very much and thank you so much for your sympathies, emails, flowers, etc.
Regards
Pete
