        My mum and dad were in a panic, cos I didn@t turn up for work and the cinema phoned them when I didn't turn up. i tried to ring work repeatedly while i walked to hospital, but no-one was there.

        Eventually they rung the hospital;, who confirmed i was there. so they rang my g/f who came to a&e.

        after i was x-rayed, i had to have the bone pushed back into place, which was probably the most painful experience of my life.

        now i am spending time at my parents, being waited on and looked after.

        All i can say is, thank goodness for the nhs.!

        apologies for lousy typing.

              sorry to hear that...I've never broken a bone in my body...but I remember my mom's semi joy in breaking her wrist cause when ever dad got to roudy, she'd smack him with it and not feel it. :P

                I can sympathize. I did a flambe on my right hand back in '04. Second degree burns. Six weeks in gauze.

                I wasn't sure if I would starve or exsanguinate from impaling my face with a fork. I have no coordination with my left hand.

                There is one good thing about it. It did prove how much The Wife loves me.

                I hope they gave you good meds and you feel better soon.

                      I'm fine, was brand new and clean, damn my carpet for being grey and the stuff i drop primarily the same or a similar colour.

                      Worse thing was that i thought at first it was just a tiny wooden splinter, you know the kind that are just into the skin and not past it? Yep, I yanked it out, that was an odd pain coupled with the texture of the drill bit itself, i don't want to experience that again!
