  • Back after accident

    Didn't even notice I was gone, did you, you dozey lot!
    I'm back after a 10 day absence - I had a very bad skid in the rain and went over a 12' embankment. It was a little hair raising, and I had to ring 000 (our 911) to come and extract me.
    Luckily I only had a dislocated left thumb, some heavy bruising to my left thigh (which ended up with the dashboard and steering wheel - upside down - resting on it), and cuts to my right hand and ear, and some other bruises in strange and diverse places.
    I'm recovering and today is my first day back at work but poor little Gertie (my car) is no more. Residing at the wrecker until the insurance people assess it. The process is a bit slow due to the big log of claims from the recent cyclones here.
    Unfortunately, with the flu the week before and no gym for over 3 weeks now, I gained back 2 kg! But I've started walking 5 kms every morning and 1/2 kg is already gone. I won't be back to weight training for about another 3 weeks though, and I can't get to the gym with no car!

      Odille! I was wondering Friday where you'd been. I'm soooo sorry to hear of your accident, but I'm glad you are only a little banged up and not seriously injured!!! I hope your recovery goes well. With all the trauma to your body the last few weeks, I'd say only gaining back 2kg is pretty good. You'll be back on track in no time.

              OMG! I am so sorry to hear you were in an accident! I was wondering about you too!
              Poor Gertie. I am glad that you are on the mend. Hope the insurance cuts you a check soon.

                        Goodness! That sounds hair raising. I hope your body heals up fast from the shock and things get back to normal quickly. You are one lucky lady, and we did miss you!

                              OMG I am glad you are ok, sounds scarey!! Rest up and give yourself time to recover. Don't worry about the weight right now, you will lose it again soon.
