Mild Excitement: permission granted
http://mildexcitement.blogspot.com/2011/11/permission-granted.html
Yet another x-ray. One month on, and Mr. Swain described my range of movement as 'remarkable'. I thought the break on the x-ray looked as bad as ever, but he pointed out the grid-like pattern that apparently shows it's healing well. Back in two months for what will hopefully be my last appointment. In the meantime, I've been given permission to resume normal activity, working up to riding the mountain bike.

Mild Excitement: Lough Neagh Rescue
http://mildexcitement.blogspot.com/2011/09/lough-neagh-rescue.html
Wandering aimlessly in Junction One. The local outlet centre, I came across Lough Neagh Rescue. Fundraising. They're also looking for new crew members to get a new station set up in Antrim. We've always supported life boats, and I've always wanted to get involved in a local rescue organisation. Maybe because I've always wanted to, or maybe because my life is pretty boring at the minute, I put my name down. It doesn't exactly fit into the 'mild excitement' mould, so i've started a separate blog.

Mild Excitement: I bought half a canoe!
http://mildexcitement.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-bought-half-canoe.html
I bought half a canoe! Somebody posted on the NI-Wild website that Mobile Team Adventure were selling off their old canoes. I told Evan, in case he knew anybody who was interested. Before I knew it we'd decided to try and buy one of them between us. I was at a birthday party on the day of the sale, but Evan headed down and we got a year old 16' venture ranger. It's in nearly perfect condition, hardly used. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I bought half a canoe! Song of the Paddle.

Mild Excitement: cast off
http://mildexcitement.blogspot.com/2011/10/cast-off.html
Got the cast off today. In my growing experience of broken arms and casts, this is the scariest time. When the pain goes you get used to wearing a cast. Bumping into things isn't a problem. Mine even occasionally got used as a tool for banging things. Now all that protection's gone and I feel very vulnerable. I've got a big scar healing, and a wrist joint that's painful to move. A small part of me wants it back inside my protective shell. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Song of the Paddle.
