Hospitalling

I promised a fuller explanation today, so here goes.

Yesterday morning, I was riding in to work on my scooter. As a lot of my route takes me eastword, that means the sun is right in my eyes.

So, I couldn't see the road clearly, and I clipped a parked car about about 20 or 30 miles per hour. I laid down the bike (think I may have totalled it, but I'll hope not) and hit the road on my left knee.

An ambulance ride and some X-rays later, it came out that I had really done a number on the knee. Shattered the bone below the knee into several pieces, so they were going to have to operate to put those pieces back together.

They did so that afternoon, and I've been recovering from it ever since.

Prognosis is that I get to stay in the hospital for a few days, then I get to go home and be very careful not to put any weight at all on that foot for the next six to eight weeks.

For those who care, I'm in Cox South hospital in Springfield, MO, room 806 on the East wing.
