At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!! Then, growing old is compulsary, but growing up is just optional.
I don't do GREEN, I've got a 4x4

I haven't posted on this thread for a while as you all know that I'm alive and well so it seemed a bit pointless. However, this week a few significant things have happened so I thought it was time for an update. No. 1 thing is that yesterday I drove for the first time since the accident. One of the many services provided by this place is access to driving school cars and specialist instructors. I was "passed" as capable of driving a non-automatic car, after an hour's jaunt around St Saturnin and the LM suburbs and got out of the car with nothing worse than a sore and swollen right knee - something to be expected given that it hasn't been in contact with a brake or a loud pedal since last August (is it really that long ago?) No. 2 item was a contact from the insurance company to say that the gendarmes have now confirmed that they have completed their investigation and that it was the lorry driver's fault. Happily he was fully insured so now the negotiations begin and I should get some interim compensation before too long. Then I'll have some idea as to what kind of car I'll be able to afford. Long-term much will depend on how fit I can get. That is still in the air. No. 3 item was a confirmation that I will shortly be able to leave this place and return 3 days a week as an out-patient. My physio and I are aiming for LM week for my departure (when he's on holiday as well for some bizarre reason...), but it may indeed be before then, depending on my short-term progress. But at least now this is being discussed. I'm using the crutches much more instead of the wheelchair, but the former are still tiring to use for too long. And whatever happens, I'll be at the race. Roll on June.

Thanks for the update, which thankfully is considerably different to what I was expecting to hear when this thread was started.

That's fantastic news, Deb! Keep doing what the physio tells you and you'll be right as rain in no time.

Just remember you can't attend LM in a wheelchair, you'll just get in the way. We saw someone in wheelchair once trying to get up the steps onto the tribunes, it caused a terrible queue and I thought it was so very inconsiderate.
