Day 1 of stationary bike and one crutch training - musings on my accident and going back to work

Today feels like the start of a new phase in OF&H and my fractured pelvis rehab


20minutes Hurtbox session on the stationary bike chatting to Suzanne, Sue, Jenny and Lindsey while watching YouTube cycling video. 

Walked to and from Lidls with just one crutch

Walked to and from the Quays with just one crutch (with my front light attached to it)

My left and right groin is sore
My right rib is still a bit sore
My left side at the back above (ish) my bum is sore 
The small of my back is abit sore
My left thigh is sore 
I'm tired 
But crikey do I feel epic!

Also the driver has admitted she just didn't see me in her police interview and the cctv that the police have secured of my accident clearly shows exactly what I said happened 

I pulled out left onto Commercial road from Hill Lane
The lights I could see were red to the station, green to go up past the Mayflower (where I was going) and you can see her car waiting on the left hand side on a side road just before the traffic lights waiting to pull out.

I'm travelling down the road, not to fast, no to slow and the driver doesn't look and just pulls out.
Apparently you can see me react so i'm hit by her car straight on which is why her car has zero damage - I figured her bumper hit my back wheel which sent then me up then down hard onto the road. 

I haven't seen the footage 
Mate Sharon is like - do you actually want to get back on your bike at some time?? 
 I suppose if it goes to court I'll see it 🤔

I've also filled out a couple of forms that my solicitor sent me a couple of weeks ago. 
I feel as if I'm finally able to do stuff. My brain is working a bit better, a bit quicker, a bit more able to manage multiple things at once. Which is just as well seeing as I'm back at work next Wednesday! I'm so going to be like a 4 year old on their first day at school - totally overwhelmed / overstimulated, I'll be exhausted, probably cry, may have to come home early, will be very hungry and then fast sleep by 9pm 🤣 

I can't wait xx
