Hello world outside my front door, I was heading out to my car on last monday, February 1st. It was a frosty morning and i was walking with care, but no where was particularly treacherous until; shit i hit a black ice slide at a 45-degree angle and my ankle bent over on itself and I hit the floor with a bang. It turns out a guy had washed the ice off his car windscreen (parked in his drive in-front of the pavement) and had created the slide once the fresh water and iced over. Even the police man who came to pick me up slipped over, but with no damage to himself! The ambulance trip was fun with the funkiest gas I have ever inhaled, could actually do with some of that stuff again now! The Xray and CT scan revealed the left ankle was broken in 2 places and they thought screws would be needed, however 1 week on, they no longer do and I am re-plastered up and healing naturally. I am managing to get about the house better this week, and am getting stronger on the crutches. I just find myself feeling much more tired than usual, I don't know if this is normal or I just need more fresh air I started writing a children's book project before the accident, and kept doing everything else rather than sitting still and writing more. i do feel I have been grounded for a reason, i am just trying to focus my energy into productive stillness.... My illustrator is coming for a meeting now, so hopefully i will be energized and motivated after that (If i can keep my eyes open)!!!!! more hopping stories to come xx
