Up to Leeds to stay with sister Faye for a few days. Got taken straight out to a local O event where I managed the walk to the start and finish. Good to catch up with a few people along the way as well. Lovely afternoon spent in a cracking little tea/honey shop nearby.

4 weeks today on the mend. The recovery is moving a lot quicker now as well although I think that it will probably be about another two weeks for my ribs to stop hurting. Not sure about my shoulder as that is a very different type of injury, but the more I use it the more I can do before the pain aching pain gets too much.

Back to the NG again. And again not a whole lot done, had another x-ray of my neck (which appears to behaving as it should) and told to come back in 6 weeks. Until then I can start taking my collar off for short periods and may even be able to sleep without it in several weeks. Otherwise I can do as I wish and go to work when I feel like it, but not until my shoulder and ribs start to stop hurting for longer periods.

Back to the NG for yesterdays appointment. Don't know why I bothered though, all the doctor said was to come back in 8 weeks to see if my shoulder is still hurting. If not then it should be life as normal, but if it is then they may operate, which doesn't sound too nice but would be worth it rather than having a wonky and sore shoulder for life.

Trek across to the Northern General, wait for over an hour for my appointment only to be told that the doctor that I was there to see (for my shoulder) wasn't working today. Useful. Though at least I got out for a bit and got my walk in.

Back in Sheffield in time to see Aislinn and Jonny off for their Asia trip. Lucky beggars. But I guess that I would be more depressing has I arranged to something similar. Feeling quite good today and have managed quite a bit of activity with little additional aching.

Much easier trip back to the UK than going out thanks to a smoother landing and an additional week's recovery. Still had to stand for an eternity to get through passport control - whatever happened to free movement in the EU?
