i can't speak for Mark but I can recall many times - spent a week in hospital after falling off wall, slipped on ice ht head, playing rugby (several), crashed cars. blown across the room in gas blast. The odd bit of fisticuffs

I have been 11 months now, although I am a long way off from where I want to be, I feel the corner has been turned to recovery -
