At last

Diary of an accident victim Part 23

Saturday 18th November 2006

This Tuesday was 8 months since the accident.Things can start moving again. I got a phone call from the solicitors yesterday saying that they have finally received the police report on the accident. Now they can send a claim for expenses and damages to the driver's insurance company, they have 28 days to respond, then three months (yes that long) to decide about the claim. At least it is no longer at a standstill. As far as fitness is concerned, I can take weight on the broken leg quite well now, although there is still some swelling above the ankle. It has stopped aching unless I've been exercising/working and only gives twinges of pain occasionally. I'm getting to be able to walk on uneven surfaces, and today managed to walk around the town centre without a stick (there are convenient places to rest if the leg starts hurting, places with bars in.)All I want now is to be fit enough to lose the extra stone I've put on since the accident.

...to be continued.
