Not so merry Christmas! (long post)

Also glad to hear you're ok Jaydee. The ice cream story was too cute I hope there was chocolate syrup to go with that. Definitely has healing powers!

What a wonderful family. Kinda brings back the true meaning of Christmas - you got just what you needed from them. Take care of yourself.

So where do you live? Maybe some local TEers are around and come check on you when you get home.

Thanks for all your support.

This week I have actually felt that I might be on the real road to recovery. The collarbone is still a bit sore - especially when I do the wrong things, but because a lot of the other aches are disappearing, the ones that have been masked a bit are popping out, but that is okay as most are twinges rather than BIG problems.

I head home this weekend - fly down on Saturday. My daughter is home from England for a little while so she is coming down with me to 'supervise' - I think with a 22 year old daughter that might mean intensive shopping!

School starts in 2 weeks so I am hoping that I am right to go, as I don't really want my classes to start with the year with a supervising teacher.

The fun with lawyers etc will all start when I get home. But because the driver was charged by the police, I don't have to argue who was right or wrong which is good.

Many thanks once again!

Jaydee - I just read this now - so sorry you had such an awful crash and that it messed up your Christmas. It's scary to think how vulnerable we are on our bikes. I hope you continue to recover quickly.

Yay, I'm home - and slept in my own bed last night. It is lovely.

I know I have been looked after so well by my mum and dad, but there is nothing like being in your own home.

The collarbone and ribs are still 'delicate' at times, but I am sure that pottering around here at home and catching up with all my cycling buddies will do all bits of me the world of good.

I am ignoring the pile of bills that were waiting for me - I will sort all that out over the next few days. For the moment I am enjoying the company of my daughter who is here with me for a few days, the cooler weather and the luxury of wandering from my chair to my couch to my bed, carrying my cuddly cushions with me.

So thanks for your wonderful support. I am home!

Jaydee,
Glad you're home, and glad to hear you have someone there with you for that extra little bit of help. Just take it easy, unfortunately there's no rushing healing.

Hi Jaydee You can't beat being in your own home and bed.

Take everything slowly and have some fun with your daughter around, laughter is good for you.

Jaydee- how wonderful that you are home again and recovering!

I'd say you are truly blessed right now, having not only your parents but also your daughter to look after you during this crisis. A generation on each end is caring for you!

I'm so glad you are safely home, and wish you complete recovery.

Hey there Jaydee, glad to hear you are home again

In the words of the immotal Judy Garland aka Dorothy... there's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place like home...

Glad you're home Jaydee. Now remember to take good care of yourself. Hope the rest of your healing goes quick!
