What's new today...
Wow, once again time has gotten away from me. I can't believe it will be October shortly.
Undoubtedly most would know I had complications following a workplace incident in August 2011 where I hit my left elbow on an aircraft door strut. Numerous ultrasounds and nerve tests detected a compressed Ulnar Nerve and possibly some nerve damage . Decompression surgery was then planned for my left elbow Ulnar Nerve in Jan this year. Well it took me till July to convince them something was not right as it was still causing me grief. A nerve conduction test in Aug produced the same result as the pre-surgery result in Jan. An MRI was conducted and detected a few complications, consequently, more surgery was required.
Mid September saw me heading to Brisbane again to have more surgery at the Wesley Hospital. Seems the nerve was still compressed somewhat and there were issues with a tendon which had to be restitched to the bone. Hopefully, this time it will be sorted, got another few months rehab followed by more light duties so probably won't be back on full duties till late December. It has been a frustrating time to say the least, but at least I'm still getting paid by workers comp.
As far as my writing is concerned, one would think I could have pumped out another book, but it's not that easy. Pain and discomfort tends to be a distraction, but I am getting a lot of reading done and keeping a few ideas in mind too.
Currently reading book 3 of 5 of the 'Game of Thrones' series, and I must say I'm finding it compelling reading if that's your interest. I've been fortunate enough to see season 1 & 2 of the mini series also. I can't wait till season 3.
Until next time.
