Scooter whoopage

Yesterday I reamed myself on the scooter. I hit a patch of crap pavement at full speed and launched myself over the handle bars. I hit the ground pretty hard, but luckily my face was in the way to take most of the impact.

3 internal and 9 external stitches to my chin, and a potentially fractured hand and elbow later and I am back at work. I tried to power on through with my work on Quickflix's Project Phoenix yesterday but I had to head home for a lie down.

Today I get a couple of xrays to find out the damage to my right arm, and on Monday I head back to the docs for a check up.

Hasn't put me off riding though: I scooted to work and the doctors today, although riding was a little difficult with the busted up arm.

As for Phoenix: I should have the final style guide and touched up page layouts of the redesign ready for monday, although I have effectively lost a day and a half to the accident. The new site is, in my opinion, looking good and I can't wait to get cracking on the SiteCore implementation soon.

UPDATE: X-Rays are done, I've fractured my elbow and it has a haemarthrosis. Nice. Just waiting for the doc to get back to me on what to do from here.

You shall be sorely missed Simon,
Even now I think i can see you on msn, and i type a message
And my imagination makes me think you respond
If there is a heaven i hope you find your Monkey there
And hopefully a better Tan

Unlucky stack there mate. I visit your site for the first time & I'm greeted with this sobering news. Good to hear your back on the trolley already. Nevermind, happens to the best of us occasionally...remember my cycling scratch about this time last year? Hope you have a speedy recovery with no long term ailments.
