Back after accident

[Analog6]

Didn't even notice I was gone, did you, you dozey lot!
I'm back after a 10 day absence - I had a very bad skid in the rain and went over a 12' embankment. It was a little hair raising, and I had to ring 000 (our 911) to come and extract me.
Luckily I only had a dislocated left thumb, some heavy bruising to my left thigh (which ended up with the dashboard and steering wheel - upside down - resting on it), and cuts to my right hand and ear, and some other bruises in strange and diverse places.
I'm recovering and today is my first day back at work but poor little Gertie (my car) is no more. Residing at the wrecker until the insurance people assess it. The process is a bit slow due to the big log of claims from the recent cyclones here.
Unfortunately, with the flu the week before and no gym for over 3 weeks now, I gained back 2 kg! But I've started walking 5 kms every morning and 1/2 kg is already gone. I won't be back to weight training for about another 3 weeks though, and I can't get to the gym with no car!

Holy cow. 12 FEET?? That's so scaryyyyyyyy. I'm glad you're OK No more skids for you!!

Odille! I was wondering Friday where you'd been. I'm soooo sorry to hear of your accident, but I'm glad you are only a little banged up and not seriously injured!!! I hope your recovery goes well. With all the trauma to your body the last few weeks, I'd say only gaining back 2kg is pretty good. You'll be back on track in no time.

Glad to hear you are okay. That is scary! But thank God it wasn't any worse.

I'm glad you're alright though, and I hope you get your car replaced soon!

Poor Gertie. I am glad that you are on the mend. Hope the insurance cuts you a check soon.
