Has been an eventful few days!
Hit in the face by a door, cracked cheekbone, mild concussion. Full on Tom and Jerry 'seeing stars' moment. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera would be proud, every detail was superb, right down to the comedic door in face, pulsating lump on side of face and colourful black eye.
Armed with a full on, Zombie inspired black eye, I rocked up for my interview for new job. Job requires Excellence (LK Bennett frock) and Innovation (Zebra striped Chelsea boots). I'm slightly unsure where the Black Eye sits but hoped it was more channeling 'Dusty Springfield' than carelessness :)
Fab day, terrible presentation (mainly due to composing while concussed) note to self: do not produce a PowerPoint whilst concussed again, lunch with Principal, rallied for interview and job got. Yeah!
However, if I take the job, the THR has to be postponed for a year. This is not a job to allow a six month absence; so appointment with Dr booked to explore drug options, large amount of crutches ordered to be customised to match each outfit / shoe combination (must ask Vogue to run an editorial on this - they are missing a trick here), and hope that this will be the experience I am banking on.
Also received letter from surgeon asking me to go into hospital for pre-op assessment. Will have to break news to him that he will not be making his reputation just yet. No one has done a THR on opposite leg to full on amputation, and I am sure that he was hoping for at least a Lancet article, possibly a Channel 4 Documentary ... c'est la vie. Next year.
Maybe though, someone else will come forward with same issues and I can learn from their experiences. That's a positive (for me anyway).
Life is good.
