bugshaw at 09:51am on 12/05/2012That's how long the back has been bad this time, that's bad as in cannot-always-put-on-socks bad, and cannot-sit bad. Luckily there are laptops and sofas and wifi so one can work and footle and stuff, and I'm improving to a 15-20 min walk three times a day.
Two weeks is a long time, especially if you are impatient and want to get out and do things.
Quite worried about how I will cope with upcoming trip to London - Sun 20-Fri 25 May - for a training course. I have a quote for a cab (£98 each way) and asked my boss if I can get a cab there instead of the train (£42 return) but not heard back yet. It's not the sort of thing the NHS as an employer usually funds. But there's no way I can do the bits of the train journey that involve getting my luggage off the train and to the cab rank, and darn those London black cabs throw you about a lot inside anyway. I'm going to press for a door-to-door minicab as it gives me the best chance of getting there in adequate condition to attend the course.
It does occur to me that several of my friends will be in Cambridge on Sun 20 May for a wedding - I wonder if any of you will be travelling back to/through London and could give me a lift, help me with bags on train (if I train), or are interested in sharing a cab if I get one?
Would be lovely to catch with people of an evening when I'm in London, but I'll have to see how I am - probably not up to going out to a pub/restaurant but I will be doing my best to improve between now and then.
