Its my Birthday, 38 today and I am feeling a good deal older. My leg totally failed me earlier today and I slammed shoulder and arm straight into a wall on the way down. My age is showning or else it was a "special" present from The Bad Leg

This is about the only shot that I got during the Volvo ocean race stopover here in Galway that doesn't require extensive work.
Running low on processed shots so I will have to get to work on them soon.
I have been feeling fairly awful these last few months. Every time I think its settling down a bit something else happens to set it off again.
Ah well, it will change eventually. I will be myself again one day.

My first try at compositing directly into a photo.
There are a few of these in my head clamoring to get out. Its both easier and more difficult than I thought it would be to do.

My ankle is the size of a.... well very big ankle, and patches of skin on the leg have a remarkable resemblance to raw steak, the pain is what you might guess. But I have only missed walking on 3 days this year.
Admittedly I do scare some of the people I meet on the road, I tend to sort of growl when the pain is at its worst. It helps me.

So if you are one of those that now cross the street to avoid me as I hobble and growl my way around the neighbourhood, my apologies. I`m not really dangerous...unless you cross me.:furious:
All the dogs seem to love it though.

And one last speed model from the Time pieces Challenge. 60 min modeling.

In to the Doctors again today. Some of the secondary symptoms are starting to come under control, getting sleep now on a fairly regular basis. The pain is still appalling but thats not something that can be dealt with unless I am willing to spend most of my life in a haze of hard drugs. I`m not willing.

They tried to get bloods today but could not stick a vien no matter how often they tried. My arms are covered in tiny little holes now but you just got to grin and bare it, the arm that is.

After that I had my walk, to be honest I wanted to crawl into bed not hit the roads. Managed almost 3.5 Km.

I will get back to some photos tomorrow.

Managed to leave the house today. It was a bad idea from the start. Got kicked directly on the spot of my original injury, a shop assistant in a bit of a rush caught me on his way past. Had to leave without doing the shopping, faint with pain.

Feck it!!
