I’m flippin’ tired this evening. Since my last progress update, I have accomplished a lot, when it comes to my rehabilitation.
I believe that I told of how pleased I was, having managed to transfer from the bed, to the nearby wheelchair and back again.
Today was my busiest day yet, and I am proud to report that I can now…
- Walk approximately ten feet, from bedroom to landing, and sit on a parked wheelchair.
- Transfer from wheelchair to stair lift, at the top of the stairs.
- Transfer from stair lift to wheelchair, at the bottom of the stairs.
- Move from sofa, walk alongside coffee table and onto wheelchair – my pre-accident means of transferring.
I still find myself getting a little out of puff while performing these moves. It also isn’t uncommon for my back and arms to ache a few hours later.
This will be because I have spent the majority of the past four months in bed. I am very much deconditioned. Luckily, everything is getting easier – presumably, as my fitness improves.
I can also take assurances from a recent visit to hospital, where I was given a clean bill of health.
Returning to work is still a while off – in that it won’t be within the next fortnight! – but I can finally see a slight glimmer of light at the end of the long, dark tunnel I found myself in.

It was time to return to hospital. We had all tried our best, but specialist help was needed. I got to ride the...

- The STI Clinic
After sharing my latest ailments with anyone patient enough to listen, I received a well-educated guess of a diagnosis, where my mouthful of sores is concerned.
I actually received the same diagnosis from two separate individuals, which means it is almost certainly correct and just one step away from being as accurate as Dr Google.
... seriously,...
- Cry Me A River
Just when you think that you have reached the end of the world's worst afternoon tea service, the chef brings you out another shit sandwich.
This has been my last three weeks.
With Claire returning to work, it was my turn to approach something of a normal and meaningful existence. Things were sounding good with my employer...
