    Sorry for the delay in updating!

    Surprisingly nothing went as it was supposed to, short version is got home Saturday tea time.

    Had a very frank discussion with the consultant about minimising risks and situations to avoid and had to accept what he said.

    For now I’m OK, not really doing anything, been out for an hour with my Autistic son who’d probably staying here for quite some time.  Only out for an hour to collect meds and get some urgent shopping and came back knackered!.

    Have to avoid falling (easier said than done) bumping into things (same again!) etc. as they’re still not sure why the kidney lacerated given the relatively low impact of the fall.  He supects there’s underlying damage but won’t go near it for at least 3 months until it’s had time to heal and all the bruising, swelling and mess has cleaned itself off it.

    Still allowed out with someone with me for the next few weeks, still allowed to go on holiday, again must be accompanied.

    All in all given that had I not woke up for a wee and I wouldn’t be here I’ll happily agree to anything he says!.

    So, I will be about, not sure how much as I’m still pretty banged up and sleeping most of the day (good old Morphine!).

    Regards, 🙂

    Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
