A great intro to a blooming great post!! There is a lot to be learnt through coping with injury and recovery. I had a stramash a couple of years ago which rendered me unable to walk for months.
Fortunately it all got better but it was scary for a while!
I was not aware of your 'stramash.' If you have written about it, I am sorry I missed it. I cannot imagin how scary that must have been, months. Well, we're both here now, a stupid US saying, "kicking asses and taking names." I think that came from a movie, can't remember at the moment
Here, it's a good expression. We have a similar one kicking baws and cracking jaws it's a little cruder but I think the sentiment might be the same.
I did actually post about it but it was a long long time ago!!
If you have the time and inclination, if you can find a link to that, I'd love to read it
