Think Bike

Ok, here I am back at the RUH. Fortunately this time I have been able to walk in. The reason is that on the way to work this morning some bright spark failed to look before he pulled out of a side turning. I did see him and had stopped but could do nothing to prevent the inevitable. All I could do is watch as the vehicle came at me and tried to go through me! Result is a painful shoulder and back. Hopefully I will get  out of here before midnight.

The wrong number

I wonder how many of you ever ring your own home? I very rarely ring the home number, always ringing Fiona's mobile. However, just by chance last week after getting some odd messages, I rang the home number. I was surprised to get a man answer. After several calls and a bit of detective work we discovered our phone number had changed! A phone call to Sky reviled that several people had the same problem and that it was in a 100 pair cable. I had a text today saying the problem had been resolved. Well it had, but we now have yet another number! So another call made. Hopefully it will not take long to resolve.

One year on

Today is the 17th March. This marks an important milestone for me. It is one year since I had my motorcycle accident which left me with a badly broken ankle. The last year has been a roller-coaster. This time last year I was told that I may not walk for six months and work for twelve. However I was back driving within three, maybe  the staff didn't wish to raise my hopes, or perhaps thought it would make me more determined to get well. Whichever it was the result was the same. So how is the ankle now? Not too bad but still aches in the morning and I still get days of pain, but these are minor when you consider I can now walk and drive without any problems. I now have the option of having the metal work removed. However, I think 'if it is not broken' rule applies perfectly here.
