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.
