That DEFINITELY wasn't in the script!!!

Well i think it's pretty fair to say that most of you will have already read about what happened here in Almeria yesterday, the final session of the day, doing a bit of a longer consistent lap time run i had a BIG off throttle highside very similar to the one i had back at Silverstone in 2013, it's funny, well, far from funny but when you have those kind of crashes that you really weren't expecting you always seem to get more hurt than when you perhaps wind it on taking liberties with no traction control and send yourself to the moon, but, anyway i had a crash and unfortunately it was a big one and even more unfortunately i've broken my left hand which resulted in an operation last night to fix it, long and the short of it is one of my knuckles disappeared down into my hand and broke it, good news is though as there's no point in dwelling on it i was operated on and with some screws and plates (a meccano set lol) it's all been put back together so i'm already on the mend.

So then to the bad news, today i had quite a lot of stuff to get through in order to box off our 2014 ideas, i got literally 95% through all of that hence the steady ish lap times then i went and flicked myself so now all my 2015 work is well and truly on the back burner.

Getting back to the operation fortunately it was performed under local anaesthetic so i didn't feel sick once it was completed but on the same token it's nearly bloody 3-30am and i cant sleep at all, i'm wide awake so god knows what medication they gave me hence the reason for sitting here in bed typing this.

The doctor has said i need a month to heal up and be right which takes me exactly to the first round but i'm planning on heading back to the UK tomorrow now to jump in a hyperbaric chamber and get the bones lasered etc so i'm hoping that'll increase healing time considerably, i've supposedly got to keep this cast on for 2-3 weeks but i'll see what my guy in the UK says and do absolutely everything i possibly can to be ready for the Donington park test in 3 weeks, fingers, well not on my left hand crossed guys and girls, take it easy, Shakey#67
