Another year has started - my 18th year. The year I have to grow up; the year I go to university; the year I start my future properly it feels.
Okay, so maybe I wont grow up so much - maturity doesn’t just appear one day, but who wants to grow up anyway?
So New Years eve was a party at my dear friends and it certainly was eventful. But This party wasn’t as good as others simply because I felt a lot of people didn’t have the same respect for her house as they have before, which was a shame, and I’ve decided that I’m defiantly not having another big party - I’ll host my 18th and then I think that’s it. Its too stressful for one.
I passed the minutes adjoining the two years in a hugging frenzy, squeezing all my friends and being squeezed in return - its good to start the year with a bit of love between friends seeing as before there had been some hostility.
So now is the time everyone looks back and decides what they would have done differently then and how they’re going to do differently now. They make themselves promises that by April have been forgotten and life carries on - or that’s my attitude to new years resolutions. I think I’ll keep mine as
“Make it like before, but better.”
Pretty much covers all eventualities, and I was gonna tag “and blog about it everyday” but I’ve already broken that one.
Retrospectively, 2007 wasn’t bad - it could have been worse anyway. Onwards and upwards right?
It seems fitting, because the hospital gave me a clean bill of health on December 31st, so I am now officially healed. So I’m all fixed and ready to ride (which I will do so next Sunday at 11:30) in the new year
I managed to get pictures of my x-rays for your viewing pleasure (or disgust)
This first one is on the day of the break. (October 5th)

See the way the bone on top tapers to a point? You can feel that - thats my nobble. Attractive stuff!
So here is my last Xray taken Dec 31st

As you can see I have some new lovely bone grown between the two halves - I’m whole again! Although now my brother calls me Z-Bone
Its a bit creepy to look at these and remember that these bones are inside me. Bizarre!
So like I said, gotta get back on that horse. I’m so excited because as most of you know, horse riding is my passion - so Just imagine being physically unable to do the thing you love most for 3 months! That’s how much I’m looking forward to it.
Happy New Year
May it be better than the last one but not as good as the next
Lotsa Love
