New Year Update

I still have nerve damage on the right which is causing numbness and ‘tingling’ in my right thigh, this apparently should heal in a ‘matter of months’ (between 3-9 usually) and also is causing the entire top few inches of my right thigh to feel bruised, like someone whacked me with a bat over it but weirdly there are no visible signs (it's all in my head perhaps)

I also have persistent trouble with my Sacroiliac joint (pelvis/hip) which I may have to go and have an injection in to allow me to do my rehabilitation exercises properly, this would be done under sedation in a theatre so is not quite as trivial as it sounds (something to do with needing real time x-rays to position it) I’m due to see my specialist on the 14th where the decision will be made on whether I'm going to have it or not, my Physio (who is suggesting it) says that immediately after the pain will be gone and I can do my exercises properly so I'm quite keen to get it done assuming that he is right of course

Apart from these two issues I’m making good progress, I can drive now but still can’t get my own socks on!!

I'm checking email etc but not really doing much else PC wise as it's been a really good rest for the RSI in my wrists and to be perfectly honest I haven't missed it or all the 2.0 ness of my usual work routine, god knows how many unread posts are in my RSS reader :)
