Rushes in and waves hello to Stroppy - thanks for thinking of me.
Unfortunately I am having major problems with my wrist - I had a review at the hospital on Tuesday and in their words it will "take years and years" - I did ask them if they were being flippant, but they said NO. Unfortunately the break in the wrist caused me to develop reflex sympathetic dystrophy - this means that all the nerves are on high alert. So every sensation eg tickling, pins and needles etc are all transmitted as high pain to my brain. The nerves can't tell one thing from another. Even if the wind blows on my skin it is really painful. I go to occupational therapy each week and do loads and loads of exercises at home to try and get it to move. I still can't hold a toothbrush in that hand or open a door handle. My GP said it will be a permanent disability, but I am determined to prove him wrong.
I never heard anything from the shop 
Against my principals really, I have ended up passing the case over to a solicitor - I think if the shop had just phoned and asked how I was, I probably wouldn't have done anything. Anyway after the solicitor requested the CCTV footage, the third party have since admitted liability.
The solicitor will be arranging for me to see a consultant in Leeds who will do an assessment and give a report showing his findings - I don't know how long it will all take - the solicitor said could be a couple of years. I suppose the fact that they have admitted liability is good. No financial reward will make up for the disability of my wrist, but hopefully it will make them look at all their stores to prevent a similar accident happening to someone else.
Thanks again for asking.
I am going away for a couple of days so if you post and I don't respond, please don't think I am being rude, but I don't think I will have internet access. Thanks again and hope you are well xxxxx
