Meh

hello. not been blogging much, mostly because I'm very stressed and worried about something I'm not allowed to blog about, at the moment. I actually feel sick...

There's good stuff too though, I recovered from my torn cruciate ligaments about twice as fast as expected and am doing physio again. I've got an awesome trailer for my scooter, and a ramp today which means one person can get it up the steps easily. This is awesome because I've been feeling very trapped.

Anchor staying put at home were here Friday re: a permanent ramp and I had an OT visit yesterday. She agreed with me that stairs crutches are the most risky part of getting around for me and stairs the riskiest part of that and something to be avoided wherever possible

Right, off out on my scooter, looks like a nice day

Online at last! Cripplerant


Damn patientline, I'll see those bastards in court! So yeah, patientline is balls, the internet access included in the daily charge of 2.90 consited of a super slow connection with sites such as lloydstsb, flickr, blogspot and gmail being excluded, for some reason, by their content filter. No customer service whatsoever, no discounts for long stays, no clue, and up to 79p/min to call the patient, nice!

So, after 2 months in hospital someone comes to see me, they barely knew what a computer was, bargain!

Now, as of oneish yesterday, I'm home! Well, Greenhill, an awesome spot to recuperate, full of groovy people. Wow. What an improvement on hospital! Simple things like chillaxing with a few friends, fantastic.

The plan is now a rambling, piecemeal rant about those two months, interspersed with live rants. Various insights and morphine enhanced observations of interest to patients and carers alike, may transpire...
