Seems all I can do at the moment is turbo train and run on a treadmill. But this is better than nothing and is keeping my aerobic fitness level up.
However, big change coming again. Just now I have recovered from the initial accident and have had nearly 2 weeks off, getting back to gentle recovery stuff at the moment, I have been back to the hospital and an operation is required to correct my jaw. Might need plates after all. I see a specialist next week who will compare my impressions of teeth before(from dentist) and after accident to see what work will be necessary and then I will be booked in for an op. Could be another 2 weeks before an op, that then leaves me with more time off work for the op and then time off for recovery and then impact on training, so will miss races in March. Might just about be ok to race in April depending on when my op is and how soon I can get back to fitness. My training may well just have to be turbo trainer for a few weeks. Really missing the swimming and because sinuses are still full and a lot of pressure in my head I'm not keen to get in the pool, but so aware of not wanting to lose my improving swim technique. So definitely back in pool for a swim tomorrow lunchtime at work, and then again on Friday.
Some kind of aerobic workout at the weekend, and might even venture out on the road on my bike, just for a couple of gentle confidence builder miles.
The one positive thing is that my fitness level is good and I am managing to keep my weight down. That's because of my jaw and teeth that eating is really no fun!

Sounds as though you still have some way to go before you can get back to full training again.It must be frustrating; however you seem to be keeping things ticking over but obviously have to be careful not to jeopardise your recovery.
