@tommybridewell
on Tuesday 12th December, it's going to be some night!!
I can't tell you how happy I am right now, just walked on a frame to my bathroom and had a full on lower body shower then walked back to bed, I feel right this second like I've just won another 10 Championships although I also feel bloody knackered!!

Pleased to report that everything's back under control now, got rushed into hospital yesterday with chest pains and told it was either a heart attack, a blood clot on my lungs or internal bleeding, a CT scanβs confirmed it's pneumonia which can be treated with antibioticsππΌπͺπΌ
Great progress this morning, longer walk with the physios then up and down some stairs before walking back to my room, it's the little triumphs at this stage, knackered now though lol, could be time for a cheeky nap

Update time.. apologies for putting this out so late but here's where I'm at.. I have 2 bruised lungs, all of my ribs fractured, 4 broken vertabrae, a broken neck in 2 places, broken septum, collarbone, multiple other back fractures, fortunately no paralysis which was a big....
All good things must come to an end.. well as one door closes other doors open, that's a fact, unfortunately I can't promise I'll be racing next year but I can promise if I am it's A game time, I'll be there for wins and another title shot no matter what!!

Oh dear.. just got my phone for the first time since before setting off for FP1 last Thursday morning, looks like I have a few messages and e mails to respond too, update you all soon!!
So there you have it, the halo is off!!!!! Far from the end of the road though, it's the start of the next episode, the neck is literally just starting to show some signs of bone growth,β¦
Another small step today, seen my surgeon and he's allowed me to remove the collar!! We're still no closer to knowing if a complete recovery is possible, only a CT scan in November willβ¦
On a far brighter note however, I got some good news today.. I spoke to my surgeon and the tumor removed 3 weeks ago was successfully removed in full and was non malignant!! Hopefully I'll not get anymore as the sideβ¦
Probably the highlight of our very successful partnership, we had our moments at times but a double World Superbike victory as wildcards and 5 British Superbike Championships eased things along nicely... An almighty loss to racing full stop.. R.I.P Birdman, sleep well pal ππΌππΌ
So there you have it, I've finally signed for a team for this years

For fear of sounding whingey or like I'm milking it I've not mentioned that the past two nights due to coming off a form of medication I've not slept a single minute, and I mean that!! last night after the

Many people to thank, Marshalls, medics, team members, friends, fans, family that I really don't know where to start, a massive shout-out to my amazing wife

Gutted, never easy to read we've lost another rider, especially one as cool as Dan, many had a feeling he was on for big things this year, Sadly taken too soon, RIP Dan
Absoloutley gutted. Met him earlier this year and was an incredibly nice bloke. Was on excellent form and was looking forward to seeing what he could do this year. RIP Dan Kneen
Big bonus as paralysis was a major issue and concern, the 1 at question from my surgeon after seeing my x-rays was how on earth are you not paralysed! His operation to fix the back and neck ran obvious risks of paralysis potentially coming back in the mix, fortunately the op

I've known both Jordan and her twin brother Frank since they were babies, they're both great people, Jordan initially looked horrified, laughed and replied "no chance" when I asked if I could do a quick TV interview.. I'm pleased she did though, how well did she come across ππΌππΌ
