I meant simple as in not complex, i.e. involving bits of bone floating around. But then it's tapered, and that's better than spiral :D

Yeesh. As always, best of luck with the healing and I'm sure you'll be back on those go-karts in no time. ;)

Everyone in the office crowded round Nicky's comp to take a look when she opened up the email you sent us, several people walked off looking just a little ill.

Btw did we tell you you've been replaced with a newer model?

Some random Girl on a stetpoint program started on monday, nobody seemed sure what we were supposed to do with her so she just got appended onto the end of our little group. I need some electronic engineers back, atm I've just got 3 physicists and an AS-level student.

One word;

Tard!


Can I change the title to "Vibs is a muppet !!!" pretty please :P

yes. please!

or at least mention his girly girl parts :p


Although at least a go karting accident is slightly more manly, than falling over on a nursery ski slope. hehe.

Get well soon vibbles.

Well that's not what an arm is supposed to look like.

I still wish I had the xray of one off my dislocations as it was awesome my knee was so inflamed it looked like a blob of Jelly with a patella shaped thing floating in it.

That looks really nasty.

Also I've only just realised that Cynical is from your work. Check me out.

Also Apple is the greatest company ever. Until they decided whether or not they are giving me a job that is.

Bob.... youve been around vibbles too long :p

Although that said, i have just installed vista, so I have the same feeling of soul selling! heh.

That first x-ray though.....

still makes me go "ouch".

p.s. Am i allowed to make an unofficial "get well soon" thread? where we take the piss out of him for being so silly? hehe

lol, be back asap mate, she nice?

She's nice enough, far prettier than you but not quite so good on the engineering front :p. The age difference is sometimes quite noticeable though.

@Wol, why do we need to make an unnoficial thread to take the mick of him? Laughter is the best medicine, so the more we laugh at him the faster he gets better right?

Vibs is now a human fajita. He has a sort of Tortilla wrap of cork around his upper arm. It's awesome as it gives him much more movement and allows him to do much more with it.

I do feel however that a much more appropriate THN tag for him would now be the

The Human Fajita.

It's kinda true and tres funny.

Also Soton General was awesome today. The nurse in the fracture clinic even came and found us in the food hall bit to get us back to the orthotist to sort Vibs out asap. They did an awesome job. We got there at 11:40 and were done by 1:30 and considering all we got done that is seriously impressive. I get fed up with ppl bashing the NHS so I'm just taking this moment to really congratulate them on being awesome.

Well, I went to fracture clinic yesterday, so I thought today would be a good time to bring everyone up to speed on how i'm doing. Once again thanks for all the support and such like.

So, having been rexrayed again, I saw the actual consultant this time. She spotted a second fracture above the first, at the moment she is unsure if it is a simple fracture or a spiral, either way, it's healing ok atm so not too worried. Unfortuantly the presence of two fractures means my chance of needing surgery has increased slightly (Often one of the two refuses to heal properly apparently), however she was hopefull that this wouldn't be the case :D

Additionally, I am now allowed to remove my cast for short periods, which makes having a shower a whole lot easier!

As for functionality and strength in the arm, well these are slowly coming back, I am now able to type two handed, assuming I don't need to move my hands around the keyboard too much (Teaching me to properly touch type again!). I can also play the drums again I discovered yesterday, which I'm putting down as good physio and having great fun being able to do stuff other than sit infront of my computer all day (OK, so it's still the tele, and a 360 is basically a computer, but hey, who gives a...)

Thanks again for all the support, I'll keep you posted!

You look after yourself and it'll heal up well. No swinging on monkey bars (or go-karting!) 'til you're fully healed, you hear! :)
