Long road back to Scotland
I’m midway through a months-long journey back to Scotland. Beds are booked in the CIC hut for February, hopeful that decent winter conditions will align with a school holiday, but will the leg be up to it? This trip to Scotland began back in November, with the first physio intervention after being knocked off my bike by a car 2 weeks previously. I’ve been caught off guard by the different phases of coming back from an injury like this; even though in the scheme of things it’s turning out ok. Day 0 -That hurts, this is an intense situation. Is it serious? Not broken? Phew. Day 1 - Feeling lucky, could’ve been far worse. Day 2 - Feeling unlucky, takes 20 minutes to get downstairs to make a cuppa. Day 3 - Novelty of being off work and resting. TV on demand, books, time to myself. Day 4 - Away for a week in N. Yorks. Should be easy to rest up. Holiday cottage with hot tub. A week of relaxing but tinged throughout with getting to grips with crutches, not being able to walk more than 50 met
