Been a wee while

General
Dang its really been ages since I was on here last!
A lot has happened, I moved to the south of the country for a job ( turned out to be utter BS & I ended up leaving! ). I left the NHS totally & started a new career in emergency contact speciality.
Its not been all laughs, I found ( & am still finding ) it hard to adapt down here, to say Im homesick is an understatement but until my debts are paid off or Im able to get a transfer with work Im kinda stuck here =/
In may a driver didnt look & hit me whilst I was on a roundabout on my way home after a shift, resulting in me now having Brachial Plexus Palsy in my Left arm, in short I have lost the use of my Left arm, only my little, ring & middle finger work now on my left hand.
So now I have lost the ability to ride, I can no longer do my job ( but they are looking at options of medical redeployment if possible ) & I need help with basic things like personal care, cooking, getting dressed... you get the picture!
Insurances are still battling it out & my case will be going to magistrate court as the driver denies all liability / responsibilty ( because I reeeally decided to throw myself of a motorbike & fubar my life eh? )
Thankfully there was a witness who supports my statement & the off duty police officer who came to the scene supports my statement & also was able to give info about where me & my bike was found.
Due to not being able to use my L arm I have been advised to voluntarily surrender my licence until I am able to ride again, bitter thing is the driver is continuing to drive as an uber driver having a normal life while Im having to be referred to nerve specialists to figure out what to do with me.
sooo yeah, im still alive, still batty but one winged atm
Make sure whether you ride or drive, stay safe & always give way at roundabouts!!!

Here is to hoping insurance will sort things out and you will recover without much delay. Sending you bighugs.
Bloody uber drivers. They're an utter menace.
Where are you located, now you're down south in the civilised world?
