End of October I posted about being off work again...
Tuesday, I had my first day back on the bike. Met a mate for a coffee and help her with a job application form, went to my dealer to ask how much a service would be (should have been done in November.... but they're gonna back date the book!!!
), hospital to book another physio appointment, and the long way home... not the longest way, but instead of a mile, around 5... in the traffic. It got some charge in the battery. For a first day... was ok. Did around 15 miles in total.
Yesterday, was my medical at work. Had a gp appointment in the morning, followed by a trip to Birmingham to see the Occupational Health people's doc. GP was more than happy for me to go back to work. He'd been worried about my mental state and offered me anti-depressants. I didn't want them, so didn't get any. He was so pleasedI was happy, he said take it easy... I got my back support out of my bag and was happy with that.
Off to Occ Health... and I go into work later today to discuss my return to work!!! I can't fault them really. They paid for some Facet Joint Injections... something that wasn't even offered at the hospital. TBH the hospital didn't really want to know...the injections were weird. but they've worked and to me that's what matters.
I still get a small amount of pain... only when I stand still too long or lie down... getting to sleep has been a bit of a problem the last couple of days, but I've not taken any painkillers for the last couple of days either. do ya think it could be related??? (I can't work on the painkillers.... it's on a list of prescribed meds that are just a no-no. They do make me sleepy.....
).
I wear my back support all the time on the bike now... before it was just a long distance thing. I'm gonna just have to accept it, just like putting the lid on every time.
But I'm getting back to normal. Well as near as normal as I am....
06 America - missing, presumed in bits. With it's TBS wheel... 
09 America - It's very blue....
