@Nessa: Congrats indeed! I am admittedly not too familiar with the UK driving exams, but over here it is quite source of headache, especially for the people unfortunate enough to be living in the capital (no one knows how the capital's streets work) - who can, will take the driving test someone else. Passing the driving exam there with the first try seems to be the rare exception rather than the rule.
(My not-so-new-anymore car is weird, which means I got to took *more* than just the B-cat. exams, several years after I first made my license...)

Oh, and good luck with the op, too!

(Note to self: do not mention your hands are fine. I managed to accidentally ram my left shoulder into a corner two days ago and hit a nerve, which meant that *everything* down from the shoulder was in a rather strong pain for the next day and a half. Didn't stop me from doing something or anything - my pain tolerance is quite legendary, for the matter -, but I guess I can sympathize?

...Not long before that, I had also discovered something very sharp in my food *after* I had started trying to eat it. Tyah.)
