Lady Nina

I thought you were AndrewR's alter ego.

I broke my leg, badly enough to require a week's stay in a German
hospital. The coffee was awful.

Evidence here.

couldn't you get them to add a few inches whilst they were at it?

 

Where were you? I might have been able to pop over and offer solace.
For my sins[1] I spent a week in a German hospital, hat did you think of
German daytime TV?

[1] Fell off a bike pissed and broke me collar bone.

 

Glad you're back ok, and hope you're up on crutches by now. If not,
soon.

 

AOL and let people help you!
It's a bloody poor show on several fronts and that looks like quite a lump
of metal, do they take it out eventually?

 

Traunstein.

I broke out of hospital twice while I was there - it's a pretty town.

I didn't stoop that low. I had ipod, facebook access via my phone and
Michael lent me the books he'd got in his bag. I now know more about
Joyce's Ulysses than I ever wanted to.

Clumsy ****.

 

Cheers Champ.

District nurses are coming later today to change dressings, stab me
with warfarin and advise on crutches/wheelchairs etc. Then docs
tomorrow to get more tablets (that thing they give you when you're on
diclofenac plays havoc with your guts!) and referral to UK fracture
clinic and physio.

I am finding the lack of mobility and thus control of where I can go
and what I can do difficult. Also concious of not wanting to piss my
willing helpers off with too many demands, so trying to limit my
'could you just do/fetch' requests.

I have no idea.

 

It's an intramedullary nail, and it should be removed within a year or
so. Don't let them leave it too long, or it's harder to get it out; AtWoOWK.

If left in, it can cause obvious further complications for subsequent
fractures, and IIRC there is a possibility of metal fatigue.

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
go and talk to the Catholics.

 

^^^^^^^
Is that the sound one makes as they pull it out with a pair of pliers?

 

SWMBO sends her best wishes for a speedy recovery. Let us know if you
run short of reading material. Time to read the Watts biography!

Obviously. Google shows it has been used twice in the last five years.

 

So what does it mean?

 

Accept the Word of One Who Knows.

HTH

 

Miles away.

I did that. I do hope you made it back for the consultants rounds,
because they get *really* upset if you are a) not there, and b) have to
fessup to having a Latte in town

True

 

A 'motard racer I knew had the same thing, but as he was racing for the
Brit Championship he carried on racing anyway.

It wasn't his best idea. He no-longer races or, indeed, walks very
well...

It's sadly underrated these days.

 

That's quite huge. I'm assuming that the metal rod is going down the
side of the bone, or through it?
