Thank's everyone that helped me after I fell.  The two guys climbing next to us, the Air Ambulance  Doctors and crew, the MRT and of course my buddies from Stafford.  I'm at home now recovering from a broken elbow, a long process I fear, but I will be back.   Be safe out there peeps but in times of strife the climbing community comes together.

Great post! 

I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery Paul

Welcome to the 2018 broken bone club! Glad to hear you're (relatively) alright, and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Bodies are good at healing, it's what they do. Wishing you a speedy recovery. 

Sorry to read this Paul. Strife on Paradise it would seem. Best wishes for your recovery.

Silly sod! Hope you get better soon. 

Hi Paul. I'm also in the broken bones club. Bad fall 7 weeks ago. Like you had air ambulance mrt etc. Fractured thumb on one arm and very badly multiple fractured wrist on other arm. Surgery 6 weeks ago. Wrist full of metal.  However 6 weeks on its amazing how much it's improved. Still a long way from climbing again but able to run now and driving again and able to do day-to-day stuff reasonably normally. So ... keep your chin up and you'll soon be on the mend. Good luck and heal well. Cheers Christy 

You'll hopefully continue to be amazed at how quickly the body can make recovery happen. I broke my tibia quite badly in February, and four months later I was (arguably ill-advisedly) back in the Alps with axe and crampons. Six months on and I feel virtually 100% despite the lengthy bit of titanium in my leg - back playing ice hockey, running, climbing and all of that fun, with no issues, discomfort or sensitivity.

The human body is an amazing thing sometimes.

Massively helped by our ability to intervene with the natural repair process and help it out. (Which is equally fantastic that we have the knowledge to do so)
