Appropriate lyrics I think.
On the 12th (2 days ago), it was exactly a year ago to the day that I had my accident. Coming up to the anniversary, I haven't been feeling great but on the actual day I felt normal.
I'm not sure if the time has passed quickly or not.
10 days asleep.
2 weeks in ICU.
4 weeks in hospital total.
18 x-rays.
1 CT scan.
12 broken ribs.
1 broken clavicle.
1 site of nerve damage. (Sciatic nerve)
1 nerve-conduction test. (Incredibly painful)
3 different splints to walk with.
4 months of being weak and feeling crap.
3 different hospitals.
More physio appointments than I can count.
5 different specialist departments.
3 operations.
3 new starts to riding.
1 fabulous pony.
6 significant scars.
7 types of medication (now down to 1).
3 part time jobs (also now down to 1).
3 visits to friends at university.
1 month in Australia.
6 weeks back at Sixth Form.
And some fantastic friends and family.
So I guess I've fitted a lot into that year, even if half of it was spent feeling crap.
I'm pretty much back to normal. Just still on tablets for the nerve damage - foot is still slightly dodgey.
I've lost count of the number of times I've been told that nerves take the longest to heal.
J.
