Almost there...

Well, it's now been 7 weeks since the accident and I'm feeling a lot better. Bruising from face has gone (well, almost, nothing a bit of make up can't fix, including the missing eyebrow!), but still have road rash on the knees, I reckon I'll still have that at Christmas.

As for the collar bone. Well, to say it's lumpy would be an understatement. I asked the consultant about the lump and he said... "a lump is better than a scar". For who I wonder? I'm not a bloke, I don't want to look deformed, I want to look pretty. Yes, I AM vain (".)

Physio said a "Figure of 8" brace would have helped. Shite, Shite, Shite. Asked the consultant 4 times for one of them and he said it wouldn't have made a difference. I've since found out why. Saw a picture of one and they look a whole lot more expensive than the collar and cuff they gave me. Bloody NHS. Physio said my collar bone is now slightly shorter, because it overlapped when it mended, and that I will be slightly round shouldered [cries].

Physio also said "well, the most important thing is that we get full movement back".

Er... hello???? What about all the strappy tops in my wardrobe which I now cannot wear???? They are pretty important to me too!

O well, I will at least be riding to Paris, although I haven't actually been out on the bike yet. Planning on that by the weekend.
