Eventful week in November

I know I don't write to this blog as much as I should but when I do it is because there is something to say, and here it is.
Just a normal week in November, trip to the doctors to get the flu jab all non descript except that the nurse got me mixed up with someone else who was actually the next erson in to see her but anyway I got my flu jab and I was on my way. Tuesday first meeting was cancelled so I was on my way to a meeting to stand in for my boss only I never got to the meeting! I was travelling along the road, not going too fast in boy racer style but going along nicely when all of a sudden I couldn't feel the road, the car started to veer towards the oncoming traffic, I turned the steering wheel and headed towards the left hand side towards the pavement. I saw the bollards coming towards me then I flipped and somehow landed upright again.
The passenger side window smashed, the side impact bag came out but I still smashed my head against the driver's window then I came to a halt. Firstly I was alive, secondly I could move but I could smell burning and hear running liquid so I switched off the car and left the vehicle. I think I hit some Diesel spill on the road and that made me lose control. At least in winter you are more alert to ice I did not even think of this as I headed into the bend. Thankfully I am alright I was handled and processed brilliantly by the Police officers who were in attendance. The ambulance crew were great as were the A&E staff at the QE Hospital in Gateshead I couldn't thank them enough. Two hours later and I am being whisked back home by a work colleague shattered aching but OK!

Wednesday I was in hospital again for a root nerve injection (see previous posts). The staff again were great and made me feel at ease. The operation was routine and the needle hurt quite a bit in the later stages.
I feel optimistic about the results after 24 hrs the pain is almost gone but still twinges. The Doctor wouldn't do both side so have to go back in December to have the other side done. At least I now know what I am in for.
Thursday I am very tired although I slept well yesterday afternoon. I think I need to just take things one step at a time and see where we get to.
I am here and full of life and just hoping the injection will work so that I can get my life back and do the things I want to do. I feel so sorry for Maria though as she maybe the one who has to keep me safe xx. Anyway almost Friday lets see what the rest of the week holds.

Forget me not

See I have found my way back here it's just not as often as I would like.

So what has happened since the last time I blogged well quite a bit. I have just returned from Southampton visiting Louise it was a family affair with Jade along as well, she is like family anyway. We met the boyfriend Louis seems a nice guy quite a good sense of humour and all that. Bodil and I had a look around the area we found Winchester

which is very quaint. The Cathedral is lovely and the town is vibrant but Olde Worlde if you know what I mean.

We then made our way to Portsmouth hoping to get to the Spinnaker Tower however the traffic was just mad the amount of people around was phenomenal. We spent the time it took for 4 changes of traffic lights sequence where no-one moved and eventually gave up the explorer spirit and headed away from the malestrom which was Portsmouth. We ended up going to Port Solent and then out towards Fareham and then stopped for something to eat at about 15.00! Crazy!

Anyway we enjoyed our time there and eventually left the girls and we trundled up the country.It was amazing after the journey down which was full of traffic jams and road works we managed to hit Leicester Forest Motorway services in about 2 hours fantastic! We then worked our way to our frinds Geoff and Les who live in Wakefield. We were going to stop for tea but time was getting on so we hit the road after about an hour and a half catching up and we eventually arrived home at about 18.00 tired but happy after a great time away. Bodil started work on Thursday whilst I did work on my MA Dissertation and I can tell you that I have written 536 words out of a requested 15,000 but as they say every little helps :)
We spent Halloween round at our friends Gerry and Karen with their children and I must admit Karen always does make a great occasion out of the festivities we had Pumpkin soup, Baked Potatoes and Chili Con Carne with a Pasta bake for us veggies with cheese and biscuits to follow Oh and a couple of GnT's followed by Red Wine dutifully adhered to by Gerry the perfect Mien Host So the end of the holiday and now to look forward to Christmas. I have to have a root Injection on later in the month so hopefully that will sort my neck problems out and I can get on with returning to full fitness.
