    Oh you guys make me jealous with your diving! I am only a snorkeler and was very worried that I wouldn't be able to get up onto the boat after my accident.

    Hi Layla, thank you! Yes, I'm improving. Still being careful on unsteady ground but went out for lunch the other day and no stick needed. When walking around the house my mantra is " heel, toe, heel, toe, heel, toe". The greyhounds just raise their eyebrows as if to say the mad woman has...

    Freedom! I drove for the first time today! Took myself to the pool and shops. And hopefully can go back to work on light duties soon. I can't believe it after being in such a dark place a few weeks ago. Thank you for your great support network, I'm so glad I found you xx

    Just checking in to let you know I had a horrible cabin fever weekend as my friend was sick and couldn't take me to the pool.
