I agree. Some are easy, others need a wobble of my brain. 😂

@Cleoriff thanks.. getting there.. crossing the road and then suddenly getting hit by an irratic van driver going at 30mph around the corner is not recommended!! .. Serves him right he has no windscreen... (I went thru it!) before flying over the roof and face planting on the tarmac.. with a fractured hip, fractured clavaca, 6 broken ribs, damaged pelvis.. and needing a skin graft to my forehead.. kinda amazed I got out in a week.. the bones still all need to heal.. but nothing the Hospital could do but wait.. so might as well do it back in this building...!

jonsie — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 11:53:54 GMT

wow, that sounds very nasty. Hope you keep on improving week on week

I know from my own experience some five years on from a nasty road accident with very similar injuries

It takes time I'm afraid and all you can do is try to relax and heal but it certainly won't be easy

I wish you well @adec

Re: White Room Quiz Mon 11 July 2022

Mi-Amigo — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 12:39:05 GMT

So sorry to hear about the accident and your injuries @adec

Hope you recover soon.

That's nasty @adec. As a retired trauma nurse, I can only say you need to follow what the hospital advised.

Trying to do too much will aggravate your pelvis and hip. You need to rest and take any medication the hospital prescribed. If they don't help then ring your GP.

Hope you continue to improve. Take care x

That sounds incredibly nasty, and pleased you managed to "walk" away from it @adec

Fingers crossed the recovery goes well - as @Cleoriff says, follow the advice of the Dr's & nurses you see as they are the experts (along with Head Nurse Cleo!)

on the subject of the quiz, not holding my breath for this one but answers on the way @Mi-Amigo
