Trip to the UK

4 – 17 May 2009

The VSO medical unit decided that as my leg was still not quite healed they wanted me to have a second opinion in the UK. Despite my concern about the expense involved it was decided this was a prudent us of VSO resources. Once I knew I had to go I was keen to get back to attend a dear friends funeral; Asih in the VSO office made this possible for which I am very grateful. Therefore on 3 May after my trip to Ubud I set off for the UK. I also took the opportunity of my trip home to undertake the mandatory VSO motorbike five day training. My leg was healed within a week but I had to wait for medical clearance from VSO to return to placement. During this time I managed to catch up with a few family and friends. I returned to the vagaries of UK weather including hail but also the beauty of the spring flowers.
