Someone once told me the best thing to do is get in the car asap and drive. The longer you leave it...the worse it is. I took that advice and drove a few hours after an accident. I thought every car was going to hit me...but that passes in time. Good luck.

Today is the 1st day I've been able to open my eye fully. I told my husband I was making silly excuses not to drive because i was frightened. He made me drive him to his work, he'd forgotten his phone, so that was highway and then back thtough town, stopping for some supper. I feel quite proud of myself

Well done you - that first step is the hardest.. but now you have conquered it and your confidence will be back before you know it.

Hope you recover quickly and that you are able to get over this horrible event. So glad you are ok xxx

Didn't realise Physiotherapy hurt quite that much! Thank god my injuries are small ones, I feel for anyone that needs far more than I will.

Glad to hear you've found a physio. They'll fix you. Stay clear of quacks!

It's not half going to take some make-up to make Damien Lewis look like Rob Ford!

Depends where you are. I've had stuff sent from London by Fedex to Toronto and Vancouver and it got there next day. No chance of that where I live now.

London/Indianapolis/Mirabel/Ottawa. Stuff always gets opened by Customs in Ottawa and doesn't make it onto the delivery truck before it goes out. Customs don't work at weekends or on public holidays. A package sent to me from London at lunchtime on the Wednesday before Easter got to me on the Tuesday. That doesn't quite beat the previous best of eight days.
