2012...

Happy New Year everyone!

Lets hope that this year holds many wonderful surprises in store for all.

As it has been the festive period, nothing much has happened really. But i did get a bit of news yesterday from my lawyer...

The driver's wife has agreed that her lawyer can sit down with my lawyer and try and settle things out of court. We have a court date with the driver at the end of January, so hopefully we can come to an agreement. The meeting will be sometime in the next week.

The other bit of news is that apparently the insurance company would like to sit down with us and discuss things too. This is great news to get things started, but, as with any insurance company, it is going to be a slow process of bargaining with them. But at least we getting the chance to talk to them so soon!

As far as how my leg is doing, i am still doing my exercises every day, and my injured leg is now strong enough to lift the weight of my plaster cast on its own. The muscle has returned to my quad section of my left leg, and it is feeling much stronger.
I still have limited mobility in my left knee though. Not much more than the last time i wrote.
This is a little worrying as i have no idea how long this takes normally to come back? I will ask the doctor when i see him next week to have my plaster cast taken off.

I am doing exercises on my right leg as well, and they coming along ok. My left leg actually feels stronger than my right! I have a set of crutches waiting to be used as soon as i get my plaster cast off. I am excited to start using them, as my mobility will be improved over the wheelchair. But most importantly, i will start using my right leg again, so can start to strengthen it again!

Still waiting on news back from the specialist in SA. He has been away on holiday, and i think he came back yesterday, so hopefully in the next few days...
