Personal achievement for the month…

[Mzmarvel]

9 weeks after my operation, I got a bed in a top rehab hospital in London. They gave me intense physio every day for 10 weeks. I have been home since October and still improving. My goal is to walk unaided, but that is still a long way to go. Nerve damage can take a very long time to recover and heal, if ever.

Wow,
That’s a long recovery time for sure!
But look at how much progress you’ve done already!
What’s the first thing you’re gonna do when your finally aid free?
What’s waiting for you?

Well this one is going to cost me about $2,000.
So I hope not too addictive!

Would love to see it when its finished if you cared to share.

Mine was about £50. But that was in the 90s.

Mines a pretty detailed realistic semi portrait with lots of Color, the size of my hand…
It’s going to take 1 and a half day work

Heck yea!
I’ll have to start a new thread…
Show and tell for tattoos!

Not sure, probably a long walk.
Drive my manual sports car
I cant wait to get back to driving again. Picking up an adapted automatic car with hand controls on Friday
Unfortunately I won't be able to go back to work. My job was quite active. A maintenance engineer in a factory, so no more climbing in and out of machines to fix them. Hoping to take medical retirement.

How long do you work in the industry for?

How long do you work in the industry for?

36 years in the industry, but only 2 1/2 years in current job. I have a 31 year pension from first job in the industry and hoping to take that pension.

I can imagine that you would have a lot of things to pass on to newbies…thought about going into training/teaching side of things?

Thanks, yes i have gained a lot of knowledge over the years. It was a whole new learning curve when I changed jobs as it was a new manufacturing environment with food production. A whole new set of rules and regs lol.

I can't see myself in a teaching role tho. I'm no good in that role. To be honest, It would be so nice not having to worry about getting up for work any more. Although its been so boring being stuck at home, I kinda like the idea of no more work. I will be out and about visiting all the places I have never had time for lol.
