Rubbish Injury of The Day

So, I just popped out for a quick paddle, before I knew it got a bit stuck. Next thing I go to count my legs and find i’m down to 1.5.

Popped round to the local German Discount supermarket, riding through the car park I had an innocuous clip against the kerb. Next thing I know I’m sprawled across the ground, sore hip, throbbing head, try to get up can’t stand up.

Turns out that I have managed to fracture my pubic-rami.

You know those glass jars with the springy clip thing on the top to keep them closed and airtight? I opened one of them a bit carelessly and it pinged me and knocked a little bit of bone off my thumb joint and then that bit of bone turned out to be in some way THE MOST IMPORTANT MM3 OF BONE IN THE HUMAN HAND and my thumb’s just never going to work quite right again apparently.

Also broke a rib while changing a car stereo, quite an extreme business that.

On the other hand I broke my shoulder earlier this year at the forest of dean and apart from it being sore for a couple of months suffered no ill effects whatsoever. I’ve hurt the same shoulder worse just by sleeping.
