Thanks! For all your prayers and kind thoughts. I was stupid inasmuch as I braked hard when I went into a skid. That's a "no-no" I'm told.
Had some good days and terrible days, but the doc has given me some valium as a wee crutch! It helps!
Overwhelmed with all the love and support from Blogland!
Listen to all the advice offered, and select from it what works for you mate. Don't go down the route of a couple of pints or lots of alcohol though, for there be monsters!
