things that i have learned today
Today I made it into the office for the first time since I did my leg in on 10th Feb!! Yay me!!!
It has been a steep learning curve. Things that I have learned today so far include:
- People generally seem to walk very quickly
- People with walking sticks seem to talk to you if you’ve got a walking stick
- You don’t get much time to get off of a tube train
- When you’re on the tube, you tend to get your feet/legs knocked quite a bit – I had never noticed this before!
- Traffic lights don’t seem to stay red for very long
- It is easier to go up stairs than down
- Our stairs at the office are very VERY steep
- It took me an extra 20 minutes to get from front door to desk
- It’s still easy to scoot around on an office chair with one fully functioning leg
- The printer/kitchen/toilet feel far further from my desk than they were when I was last in the office
I will now continue learning!

Just a normal girl
I recently turned 40 (eek - how did THAT happen?) I'm a Londoner - mother, lover and little kitty owner.
I do the normal London things. I'm really just pretty run-ofthe-mill!

I was in Camden at lunchtime, I almost called to see if you wanted lunch but didn’t want to be seen in public with a cripple.
At least my leg will heal – your face wont!
Aw, hope your leg will feel better soon. I remember how irritated I was when I sprained my ankle, and what you’re going through is far worse. Have the people with canes said anything of interest to you?
Thank you – it feels horrid today – I guess because of how much I was on it yesterday.
People with walking sticks are mainly nutters, that is the conclusion that I have come to. They tend to say “You’re a bit young for a stick – what’s wrong?” and have big mainly gummy grins, and scary mad laughs, and beards…the women too
