Phew, my own shoulder is aching just reading about it! I can’t think of a better Christmas gift for you though.

Thanks D, it does feel never ending. ” All is coming”, where have I heard that before

Good to read that the fracture is healing well, even if the entire process of recovery feels endless. Slowly, slowly, all is coming!!

I’ve found around 250 geocaches in different countries. There are some underwater ones dotted around,so hope for you and your Poolmate!

Most people I know work full time, I don’t know anyone on maternity leave.

I’ve already read more books in the last 6 months than in the last few years.

Ooh, I reckon I could get properly obsessed with geocaching. But I already have my Poolmate and my swimming obsession so had better resist!
Are their people you can meet up with during the days, make the most of not being at work? For me it would be spending time with the friends who work part time, or are on maternity leave. Or I’d join dozen book groups at once – reading with purpose!

Hi R

Yes I had no idea when I put that cartoon up there how apt it would become in the last three years.

Considering they told me 8-10 weeks when I broke it and now it’s going to be 30+ weeks, that’s 60% of the year it’s very frustrating.

Apart from the 3 months in Mysore at the end of 2011, the last 3 years seem to have all been a bit of a struggle and frustration what with two spells in Hospital and all that’s gone with it, so I suppose I do refer to more than just my practice when it seems like another year turning to crap. At least I had my practice before, but now I don’t even have that.

I’ve done a little geocaching, walking with a purpose, though its all steep hills round here. I just pass the days, but seems like another year of hoping the next year will be better.

Sorry to read that it’s all taking so long. What a frustrating time. The cartoon at the top of this blog is so very apt.

Hope you’re at least getting to enjoy the milder weather – maybe brisk walks can give you some of the endorphin that you’re missing without your practice? When I was unemployed I used to walk a couple of miles each way to get the paper – not that I didn’t have a shop nearer, just that it gave my walk some purpose.

Try not to think of it as a year to write off. I hope you only mean in terms of practice but then again I’m not so sure. I have no advice on how not to think that way though . . . just that it’s the only life you’ve got, and every day counts let alone every year.

It makes it look like the lower ones come out the other side,but I can’t feel them. Hopefully the muscle will join up again, though then it needs to start moving again and get strength back. It was the biggest hurdle, but there’s a few more slightly smaller ones still to get over

Oh my goodness, but those screws are LONG! Especially the top ones. I wonder what causes tissue to turn to fiber instead of bone? That’s weird. And how amazing to think they can just remove your muscle and then put it back and it will reattach itself. The human body certainly is an amazing thing and what we are now able to do to manipulate it is even more amazing (and scary, at times). Glad you have made it over this last, giant hurdle, Kevin.

Haha, yes you’ve probably been getting a lot of traffic from Mexico where I live… though the traffic will start to come from Spain in a couple of weeks when I move (a fellow traveller here). Best wishes for your recovery, and keep blogging!
