• Mishaps! *Rolls My Eyes* – Nov 24th, ’10

  *It’s time for me to try and get in touch with my bro again, I suppose! This was the last I heard from him, back in July, on Facebook…

  Hey Susie Wong!!!!!!! I`m so so sorry Sue but since i got back i`ve had trouble with my phone and internet, which isn`t surprising considering i was away for 2 and a half months in the end!! First, i`m really pleased for you and i`m just glad that you`re happy!! Things seem like there going well for you hey!!

  Well where do i start?!! I`ll try and keep this short!! Went to Thailand beginning of April to do some work on a property and also take a break ish. Was supposed to be there for 4 weeks then come back to do work here. My friend has a brand new 3 bedroomed house with swimming pool in a place called Chumphon which is way down south and stunning. Also it was all free for me so i wasn`t complaining!!

  Anyway, about 3 days before i was due to fly back i had the accident. Was on my motorbike riding back from the beach when a pack of stray dogs came out of nowhere. I swerved to get out of their way but clipped a foot peg on a high curb. That flung me over the handlebars and i took the full impact at 30mph with the centre of my face on the sharp corner of a concrete pillar. I was unconcious for over 4 hours until some guy found me and took me to a hospital. Woke up just as they were sticking needles in my wounds to numb it all for stitching, pure 100% agony!!!

  Basically i`d spilt my forehead, broke my nose in 2 places, from my nose to top lip was spliced in two, slit my throat, dislocated my left shoulder, sprained my right wrist, and had multiple bumps, bruises and cuts everywhere!! Apart from that i was fine!!! Haha!! The bike was ok though!!! Couldn`t fly back until 21st June in the end. Oman Air were fantastic and never charged me anything to change flights, etc, which helped ease the pain!

  Hospital fees, etc cost me over 7500 but to be honest i`m very very lucky to be alive or have permanent damage. I`ve had to go to hospital here in UK for scans, etc. I have post trauma concussion which gives me blinding headaches and numbness in the back of my head, this could go on for up to 2 years apparently. And the Thai doctor sewed my lip together wrong so i have quite bad nerve damage which is such a fucking pain. Again, if they don`t operate then it could go on for 6 months or more and i have to take these anti-depressants which act as nerve blockers.

  All in all, i count myself lucky, although i feel a bit of a dick sometimes cos i occassionally dribble now when i drink and eat which is highly embarrassing, especially when i`m trying to chat up a bird!!!! Hahaha!!! I`ll write you a proper email soon to let you know what`s going on in my life and my plans for the future, which have all changed again!!! But dont worry, i`m fine and alive!!!! Love me xxx

   

  *Shakes head in despair and laughs out loud* THAT’S Geoff, all over!
