Yep. Going to be slightly crazy on exit.
Meds going down and down slowly so no withdrawals. Can't be to much longer, and another X-ray due Thursday.Sleep is up and down. Slept from 11ish until 4 but was wide awake. Then dosed from 9 till 12 today as i felt so rough. Very little injury pain now, just the muscle stiffness from being still and sleeping on my back only.
The nurses have to stop me springing off the wheeled commode (I can be wheeled to the loo but only in my brace) when I get back to the bed. My legs are a little stronger and I'm less wobbly. Makes you understand how easy it is to get very weak through in-activity (thinking of mother in law who won't do exercises or get up much). Pray I remain a stubborn old git and fight to keep mobile in my old age - it's so important.
The ward is completely full and one of the rooms has now has to squeeze in another bed (4 to 5 beds). If a fella comes in, they will be in here, so long as they are mobile enough for the 'loo' apparently.

At least you're not missing much decent cycling weather ...
I believe so. We can't see the weather from out ward. There is an inner courtyard and you can just about tell if its raining (wet) but haven't seen how bad it's been, no indication of the wind and heavy rain. Crazy.

That's so you don't get depressed by how bad it is outside.... I can't wait for a few days of decent sunshine.... I see they are hinting at colder next week, maybe the sunshine will make an appearance then (I hope its not just colder wind and rain!)

Hmm I don't know what to think.... It won't be a brilliant week for me if its icy.... Why couldn't the snow come at Christmas time! I'll have to check as I haven't fitted the studded tyres yet.

Letter from the police arrived. Apparently I wasn't badly injured and was discharged from hospital same day ?
My wife opened it and was straight onto the police, as she texted me. I followed it up as I haven't been able to send the 'incident' report to the police. Apparently I shouldn't have been sent that as it should have been the Serious Incident Team that deals with my crash due to the nature of my injuries. The police officer I saw in hospital didn't follow my admission up. Argh.
I'm expecting a phone call tomorrow !

For crying out loud! Sounds like someone has just rubber-stamped it to avoid the annoying paperwork.
I really hope it can be sorted out without major hassle.

This is p155 poor! As far as they know, you could have been in a wheel chair for life because of the motorists actions. If it doesn't get resolved quickly I would strongly consider making an official complaint at a high level. Shouldn't be necessary but unfortunately sometimes the only way to get action is to rattle the entire cage!
