Am feeling tons better, most of the bruising just a shadow of its former glory and the arms and wrists still in plaster but I am sleeping without drugs for the first time last night and feeling better today. |I know the real trial is the task of learning to become left handed whilst my right arm either heals or stays as it is…but I still have use of both hands and am virtually personally independant already…I am feeling good…still having trouble with doing up my trousers…
Just got to talk to DVLA about me disabled sticker and mods to the car and I will be away…got to order the car yet as the doc says dont until I have been in touch with the DVLA to confirm how I can proceed,…
DVLA may require some sort of off-road assessment to ensure you do not need to have the conditions of your license changed. It may be a good idea to have an assessment even if DVLA do not require one so you understand and adapt to any limitations in a controlled enviroment. You will also be able to discuss any adaptations you may need.
The nearest place to London that does this is the following charity - Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation Mobility Centre (formerly Banstead Mobility Centre), Damson Way, Fountain Drive, Carshalton, Surrey, SM5 4NR. Tel: 020 8770 1151
I have been round their track - it was in a wheelchair, and it was nothing like a trackday! My job once required that I visit to see the services they offer.
There is also one in Berkshire but I don’t know anything about them - Mobility Advice & Vehicle Information Services, O Wing, Macadam Avenue, Old Wokingham Road, Crowthorne, Berkshire, RG45 6XD. Tel: 01344 661000
good news!! glad its all coming together. but take ur time, your body needs time to heal and recover and do all those amazing things to get u back to normal.
I got excited when i could curl my toes - happened about 4weeks after i broke the leg and hurt like hell but sooo worth the pain hehe. even now when i get cramp in the leg is all good cuz it means i’m feeling again.
Had an awful zombie day today…not even enough energy to fall asleep…incredibly bad day…second worst since being out of hospital…I was hoping to go out to dance classes tonight…no chance of that now…
