Proper poorly!

10 days in hospital, it’s a wonder that you survived that. Take care to mend well.

Yes I was in (for 10 weeks, 3 bust vertebrae) despite very good care from the nursing staff I acquired a urinary infection and an allergy to hospital food among other things. They couldn't do surgery and get me out quicker due to the risks so I had to lie prone and wait for things to heal. Other people who had managed only to break a single vertebrae were in, operated on and out in literally a few days. Without Mrs A's daily visits (80 mile round trip) I'd have gone round the bend.

When the great day came and I was allowed to get out bed and stand up, I just swung my legs over the side and stood up albeit unsteadily. Very professional physios and cycling fitness I put it down to.

I have to be fair and say that the care I received was absolutely fantastic! Me and the OH are currently composing a letter to the chief exec to congratulate him on his fantastic team.

I am sure they will appreciate that. I did the same as I think we shouldn't take good health care for granted but some people seem to.

May as well do some early spring cleaning

Not likely! As it happens me and my Mum had been doing a massive pre Christmas declutter and clean up the day I started to feel unwell. Incontrovertible evidence that cleaning is bad for you!

Besides, I haven't even had the energy to put Christmas tree up yet!
