Lough Neagh Rescue

Wandering aimlessly in Junction One, the local outlet centre, I came across Lough Neagh Rescue fundraising. They're also looking for new crew members to get a new station set up in Antrim.

We've always supported life boats, and I've always wanted to get involved in a local rescue organisation.

Maybe because I've always wanted to, or maybe because my life is pretty boring at the minute, I put my name down.

It doesn't exactly fit into the 'mild excitement' mould, so i've started a separate blog for my adventures with the life boat.

a change of scenery

back to the clinic for an X-ray and a change of cast.
From the white plaster back slab "sugar tong" splint to a very fetching purple one (why did I let them persuade me to use purple?) which goes all the way up past my elbow.

more surgery

We finally concluded that the bone - if it's healing at all - is healing far too slowly, and it'd be quicker to try again.

Surgery today to take a bone graft from my hip, re-break my ulna and stick it back together again with a bigger plate.

Apparently I won't be having much excitement of the mild variety for a while.
