post twenty six - I'm off

My summer has been a bit of a washout.

I've had more x-rays this summer than I ever thought I would have in a life time. All the scans and the physio are starting to take their toll, and I'm exhausted. I've never experianced a headache like it. I lost a shed load of weight (not such a bad thing..) but my muscles are totally wasted away from not doing anything. Getting back in a car was bloody difficult as well, even though I'm not able to drive at the moment (stresses me out apparently!). My car, funnily enough, is a write off, as did the car I hit. My mother was going on about getting me a new one for my 21st in December, but I can't face thinking about it right now...

.. as I'm packing, to go on my year abroad. A LOT of strings have been pulled, but I'm finished with all the physio and weekly check ups. I've been declared fit and healthy, and ready to bugger off into the sunshine(and do some work, obviously). Just as my hair is starting to look less patchy, which is ace, and I don't have any scarring on my face which is a blessing in itself.

My flight is on Saturday, to Corsica. My dad is taking me over, somehow they don't trust me with transport!
