Back to hospital tomorrow for up to 6 weeks.
A sense of dread is overcoming me.
I’m not ‘ready’ to be home, but I still want to be here.
Just been to see The Hobbit Part 2.
Really good, except I’ve got to sit at the front, practically next to the screen, from where I miss half the peripheral action and feel like the dragon’s main target is me.
Yesterday I powered up my hand held video camera. Guess what was on it?
About 25 clips I’d filmed during the morning of the day I crashed.. Footage of us messing about, the cycling, and the incredible scenery.
I can’t remember ANY of it, so I watched in morbid fascination, knowing that probably 2 hours later my spine was broken and I was in cardiac arrest.
Still, it looked like a top start to the trip. The sun shone, and the banter flowed ( largely from me, as unofficial every year film maker/ commentator ).
Didn’t know I’d shared a room with Q, til I saw the footage.
If I post the video, I’ll edit out shots of his arse, and substitute in Naomi Campbell’s instead.
Ahhh I agree with your big bro. I hope today wasn’t too difficult. Thinking of you and your amazing recovery and achievement to date. Love you loads xxxxx
Cheers Alwyn.
Good advice. I’ll try to cling on to that memory!

Russ, I hate the thought of you having to go back to hospital after such an awesome trip. But I do think with your new found confidence and sense if achievement, the next 6 weeks will be much more productive than the previous 6 weeks. And then you are done, home for good, with everything to play for! When you get down, remember the feeling of flying down Pico mountain! Lots if love, A
