I am 54. I am not the man I used to be.
I broke my leg just over two years ago. It is still broken. I don’t think I will ride my cycle again.
I used to ride 10000 miles a year.
Now I get virtually no exercise. I have gained 30 pounds.
I am taking sleeping tablets anti depressants and painkillers. None of them work. I regularly lose my temper., I can’t oncentrate.
Left wrist, thighs where operated, or broken leg. Scratching has no effect on itch.
All the way down both thighs, the length of the scars.
I am taking sleeping pills painkillers and antidepressants. Despite this I don’t sleep, am in lost constant pain and am depressed.
When I go out I almost certainly have to use bus or taxi.
I get regular dizzy spells.
I cant concentrate.
I get angry a lot more than I used to.
I spend a lot ore Tim at home than I used to.
Pain gets worse in winter., in taxis I can’t rest my leg. The knee feels weak.
When I left hospital my house was reaching the end of a £40 000 lof conversion. I was scared I would lose my house because I could not cycle. In addition I would have to climb 2 flights of stairs to sleep in the loft so I could rent out rooms which were decorated.
I have not worked on my websites since the accident.
Mu house does not have step free access. It is more difficult to get around than before the accident.
I used to cycle 10,000 iles a year., I was vigorous and fit. Now I don’t get any exercise of any kind at all. I have put on 2 stone.
I constantly twist and turn at night. This means my wife gets less sleep.
Too often walking feels log hopping/swvelling/balancing on one leg especially on my stairs or steps.
My left ankle gets numb and hard to walk on even with crutches.
My left thumb is numb and stiff.
I regularly feel that my mind is going.
I had a mid life health check at 50. I would like to compare with my health now which I feel is significantly worse but cannot arrange one.
Can’t do most DIY.
Pain in upper arms and shoulders from use of crutches.
More may follow.
or something like that, of the rest of my life, has been spent in a deformed state.
