Hi Sean

Great to hear a generally upbeat report, I was betting a bit worried that we hadn't heard from you for a few days.

Keep up the good work.

Fantastic to hear your progress Sean!

 

Is it wrong to ask if you know how your accident happened? You are in the back of my mind when I'm lowering for whoever I'm working for.

Hi. I have no recollection of the accident at all. There were witnesses but due to investigations by HSE amongst others things need to remaini private for now. Apologies.

Sean, just read through this thread.

 

I don't know you but some of your posts 'may' have caused some moisture in my eyes mate. I had a bad crash some time back on a motorbike and broke my back. I ended up with a body brace on so know how uncomfortable you feel with it.

 

You certainly don't sound or come across as someone to give up on it all which is great but man, don't be upset if you have a bad day and need to let rip and cry. I did plenty of times. You sound like you have some brilliant support as I did and they understand if you have an off day.

 

I wish you the speediest of recoveries and hope your rehab goes as well as is possible.

 

Oh and if they offer you jelly in hospital....take it but don't eat it. Use it as crash pads on your elbows and knees for the times you decide to fly down the corridors/grounds on the back wheels and clip a wall. Great rubber protection pads.

 

Best wishes to you, your family and all your support workers.

Good tip that:thumbup1: I used a similar technique when the woodland dwarves got a bit uppity (apparently they objected to the Balsa wood mine shaft props I sold them. I may or may not have told them it was Oak, I don't remember now.)

Anyway, I digress. Knowing full well the startlingly repellant properties of Mrs Idiot's scrambled eggs, I stuffed many pan fulls down my double stiched rhino hide battle pantaloons before heading out to face the hairy little midgets. Unfortunately it was a ten mile trek in 40 degree heat, but the eggs although pungent, stood up well.

As soon as he saw me approaching, the chief Dwarf scampered over on his little legs and took a swing with his razor sharp dual headed War Axe at my omlette clad thigh. As anticipated this commonly fatal blow was deflected with such velocity by Mrs Idiots scrambled eggs that the rebounding axe took the Chief's head clean off.

This was a more impressive result than I had even hoped for, and the remainder of the dwarf hoard trudged back to their caves dispirited whilst I began the long squelchy walk back to the yurt, desperate to relieve the stress of the event pneumatically but terrified of the consequences!

You rock. I just fell out of bed I was laughing so hard. Are you thinking of writing a book about all these adventures you have? TVI for PM!
