On Tuesday morning I was riding to work on my scooter. A driver pulled out without looking, and I had to slam the brakes on. I skidded, dropped the bike, and broke my wrist. Here are some tweets from the last few days -
TUESDAY
- Check me out - interarticular fracture to the left wrist, after coming off scooter - http://twitpic.com/11072u
- Nurse just asked me if I had a medical background! Apparently I ask a lot of good questions
- It's my left wrist btw, and I'm right handed. Phew. (aiiiiii)
- Gah! Gonna need an operation and will be in hospital for a couple of days.
- I'm in the ward now. Man next to me has six broken vertebrae. From a motorbike accident. For now, I won't be getting a replacement.
- Hospital food. Blahhhh http://twitpic.com/111p6d

- Hello world. Am alive and back on ward. Arm dead weight due to nerve blocker. Quite surreal. Op all as planned.
- I am the bionic man now - http://twitpic.com/115y9x
