Well wouldja get a look at this guy? This was last Wednesday, outside the Krankenhaus in Weilheim, where the ambulance took him a week ago Monday after he crashed his bike in a ditch avoiding a head on collision with a driver who was on the wrong side of the road. There's no road rash on him this time, because all of the impact energy went into breaking his right femoral head. One 24 cm pin, a few screws, and two days later, he was getting around with this snazzy Lamborghini. No visitors were allowed because of Covid restrictions, but patients could come outside to smoke cigarettes, so we visited in the designated smoking area. He came home last Thursday, with a few months of PT and recovery ahead of him. This definitely puts a dent in sabbatical plans, but he's going to be OK. Do not try this at home.
On the bright side, I can spend at least the next several months not worrying about him having another bike wreck.
Photo below shows Stefan and his niece Hanna tromping across a field outside of Widdersberg yesterday. Stefan is experimenting with a cane-crutch combo, so Hanna is holding the other crutch. I was walking with two hiking poles, and we were all walking at Stefan's snail's pace. We thought perhaps our crutch and cane dependent trio made this dandelion-filled field appear ominous to other hikers, but it's really hard to make cheerful dandelions look dangerous...
