My ladder fell and I broke my ankle badly! currently in hospital with a fancy splint. I think we're waiting for ct scans and then we'll test me on crutches.

@33MHz if that is your happy place or adventure you chose then sure. No place like home! I had a patient recount his vivid trip to Mars after a ketamine sedation. @retrophisch @Joe @mandy @esilena @igmp_join

Letting swelling go down in a splint until Tuesday, then we find out next steps. Should have surgery with screws.
