It has been 1 year today since my accident where the 650TK was written off, and reading back through these posts has made me feel a bit teary. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and good wishes.
So, an update.
I still have one or two days a week where I need a 5mg Endone to get me through the night but the days are usually fine with only occasionally a headache. I have lost some memory (particulary the last few years) and sometimes get stumped on the most silly problems, but I walk away and come back later and think I am so dumb to not know how to do some things. I hope it will come back in time.
I don't ride much now, just around town and on Thursday mornings to meet some mates for coffee in the park and home again. Have lost the desire (for now) of riding any long distances, even of driving in my ute, and with all the lockdowns have not seen my daughter or her children since the day of the brain anurisim last January. Fortunately my son and his two boys are not far away and I get to see them every week. My eldest grandson even comes and stays on some weekends to help me do things around the house.
So, life is generally getting better for me (with some small set backs) and a year after the event am still so thankful to all the medical people who have been so kind and helpful in getting me to where I am today.
