Brings water to your eyes. 
Pob's one of the decent guys (aren't we all?) and he's got a droll sense of humour that'll need to go into overdrive to get him through the next few weeks.
He's usually down in Reading but has ventured to the Midlands on a few occasions to link up with some of the BM crew.                                                                                                                                                                              

Never met you Pob, but all the very best for a speedy recovery                                                                                                                                                                             

You're right Will's, Pob's a lovely guy, always got a grin on his face and laughing... he was only staying over at mine for several nights a few months ago, having laughs and banter that only we got - we had a fab time exploring my part of the country on Pinky his beloved Zed, which was written off last week... I'm just relieved my friend's alright, a lot broken, but he will mend  thank goodness xxx 

All the very best to Pob!  Hope you make a speedy recovery and get back home soon.  Gentle hugs to you hun   Wills, thanks for letting us know and Tracey thanks for the updates, hugs to you too hun     All the best xxxxxx                                                                                                                                                                             

Todays latest update...   Pob has had some of the staples in his arms removed and has signed some insurance forms so maybe he is one step closer to coming home to England !

Great news, Pob's back in the UK  Going to be in hospital a long while, but it makes it easier for his loved ones to visit him

That's good news  bound to make better progress with friends around                                                                                                                                                                              

I've taken the liberty of copying from his Facebook wall:

Thankyou all so much for the wishes, cards, visits, advice, prezzies truly appreciated. Fighting hard to recover but realise a long way to go, but at least the cocktail of drugs i'm on is keeping the pain levels down, boosting gsk profits and making things bearable - able to keep morphine as a back up now if things get too bad. Recovery so far nothing short of miraculous I thibk

Gory bit - injury scores on doors: compound fractures to both left forarm main bones, smashed right elbow, crushed finger, displaced pelvis, fractured vertabrae, double pelvis fracture, bettered right leg, eg, totally numb occasionL twitch bun unuseable (some improvement here the last few days tho) plus obvious bruises and scars.                                                                                                                                                                             

Aww sorry to hear that hope he has a very speed recovery and back on bike asap

  Wills, thanks for the copy of the FB comment.     Great news, Pob's back in the UK  Going to be in hospital a long while, but it makes it easier for his loved ones to visit him     That is great news , ta for posting it Nutkin. Pilot, keep your chin up, you'll get there in the end.                                                                                                                                                                              

Thanks for posting update Wills, I'm visiting Pob tomorrow so will pass on all your good wishes from here x                                                                                                                                                                             

Just got back from visiting Pob and I have to say he is doing marvelously well, scars healing, and Pob is a happy chappy as always...  The Physio are worried about his shattered elbow, the French did an amazing job putting it back together but his movement is restricted with movement so a pin thats helping hold it together may have to be removed at a later date to enhance movement.  Happy to report his left leg is moving well as is his left arm, tho his right leg still has no feeling, as does his pelvis.  He is making an amazing recovery considering its only a month since the accident, and it will be the physio that is going to take the time                                                                                                                                                                              

glad your back i n uk
and still smiling
gentel hugs and get well soon x

                                                                                                                                                                             

Glad he's on the mend and healing well                                                                                                                                                                               

Wills/Nuts, if you feel it appropriate next time you visit, please feel free to let the gent know that his injuries don't sound that different to those I suffered in my big accident.

Certainly I was left with a broken back, a fractured pelvis and a pretty mangled left leg however .... it takes time, but he will get better.  He may not truly believe this at the moment, but he will.

I've moved on from my injuries and have gone on to happily riding a bike again, not to mention such things as cycling to work everyday for a while without issues (indeed I did a couple of very long charity rides), getting pretty high up in a couple of karate/mixed martial art styles etc.

And he'll be fine as well.                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks for that Geoff... he's really positive about it all and in the right frame of mind, it's good to hear your accident hasn't affected your abilities - kyaking here we come !!!                                                                                                                                                                             

never had the pleasure of chatting to him on here, but I wish him a speedy recovery.                                                                                                                                                                              

Hope he gets better soon! Here's hoping the physioterrorists work their magic :-)

Good luck with the recovery and keep smiling-can only get better from now on :-) huge (very gentle) hugs xx cat
