unlucky dude...
a + e is a bitch...soo much waiting althought occasionally you do get some fit nurses.
dont bother giving up on the ol' bike, i shattered my elbow years ago and they said id not be able to ride a bike properly, but i can. My ankle is totally bolloxed too, but thats being sorted by a physio so i should be able to ride again near xmas.
and dont worry bout surgery, general anesthetic is mega fun!! plus you get free morphine :P
get well soon
