Different Horizons

It's amazing the impact a big accident has. I've experienced this once before when I was laid up in hospital with a surprise crushed vertebra (I thought it was just a muscular strain).

Now, I have the same thing with injuries which individually are hardly the end of the world, but which collectively mean I really am incapable of doing an awful lot of what I never even considered to be anything but trivial.

With a bit of a gammy leg, an alarming appearance, confused vision, poor balance and lack of confidence, I am rendered unable to lock horns with a variety of simple situations. I can be a pudding, consuming entertainment, food and drink, and really not much else.

So far, I am generally more positive in my outlook than this may sound. Everything should be ok, I am reliably informed. I hope it isn't too far between where I am now and where I should be. I was planning a half-iron-man in May, for crying out loud. That's not going to happen now.
