First day back at work today, two weeks after surgery on my foot.
Day goes well- really productive, enjoying being back with my colleagues.
Late afternoon and I take a couple of codeine- something I've not had to do when resting at home, but I've had a half hours walk to work, been in and out of meetings etc, and my foot has started to hurt.
5 O'clock rolls around, I leave- heading to Shoreditch Highstreet station to get home.
I call in on Furious Tiles at his new shop to discuss a new bike, we're chatting away, then I faint.
I come round on the deck, having wiped out the managers Argon18 Gallium Pro on my way down.
Everyone is niceness itself, I am offered a seat, some water and a banana energy bar, and sit there covered in cold sweat, full of shame.
