An afterthought.

A very, very close friend of mine, in response to my latest M25 experience, texted this:

You ok mate ?
That must of put the fear of god in you
Hope you ok?

 

It was only when I read that text that I realised that fear is the normal emotion in this circumstance.

As it was though, I felt no fear at all. Nothing. All I thought about was moving my leg off the brake.

I suppose that the obvious conclusion is that I have little sense of self preservation, or fear of death.

Another life used up?

Half an hour ago, whilst on the M25, in the middle lane, in Rush Hour, my car suddenly screeches to a virtual halt. My right leg  has spasmed hard and hit the brake pedal.

I have no sensation or control of what my legs are doing, but have to reach down and pull my stiff leg with my right arm, to get it off the brake, before chaos ensues.

Now that I’m home the spasming continues unabated. Last night at 4.30 am I gave up and took a sleeping pill, allowing me 3 hours slumber.  I don’t feel particularly tired today but spasming and lack of sleep are probably entwined in a vicious never ending circle.
