It has been an eventful summer a lot of it spent in hospitals. Apart from landing up in hospital during summer school I ended up in A&E after blacking out in my mother in laws hall way spraining my right foot, gashing my right arm and breaking a bone, we think, in my left hand it's currently in plaster. I am only 5 ft 5 inchs not really that far to fall so how can i have caused so much damage to my self ?wide eyes

I also had a cyst removed from my right thumb, which caused a lot of grief during my exam in June, but so much scar tissue has grown back I can hardly bend my thumb at all. If my body reacts to small operations like this I better rethink my face lift don't really want a lot of scar tissue there that might defeat the object.mixed

Still on the bright side I finally got around to having a go at scuba diving. It was every thing I dreamed of and more. So I have decided next summer, if i can stay out of hospital, I am going to take the course and learn to scuba dive. I am so looking forward to that.big grin

Plus its not long now before our next OU course starts. I am begining to get nervous about this course as it is Philosophy which will involving critiquing debates not one of my strong points but  something I need to learn. However the issues Philosophers like to debate are interesting and issues I myself have thought about. Thus a challenge I am looking forward to.approve

Anecdotal evidence - my dance teacher had significant scarring on her foot from an accident and her husband rubbed oil of evening primrose into it for ages everyday, plus home physiotherapy.  The first reduced the scarring the second returned mobility to the foot and she was able to return to teaching dance and sparkly high heels. Might work for you - certainly worth checking with the doctor I would have thought.
