As i write this, i do so with 1 hand and a dizzy head so firgive the typing...
On fri night i suffered a fall on the road into the kerb, which shattered my left elbow in 4 places, with one of my bones penetrationg the skin (freeky sight). I was sober. I was taken to hospital and went into surgery on sat morning, my elbow was reconstructed using metal plates. I have now been sent home and am in little pain, but my left arm will loose 5% mobility and the nerves in my fingers have been affected. I am not how much power i will regain and only hope my fingers get full strength back. Thy are hopeful i will but i have been warned to expect a long recovery.
This obviously means my gaming days are, for the immediate future, over. I hope to try and see what my fingers are like in a few days but currently my elbow is too weak to support my arm.
Obvoiusly lans are out but i hope to get to work in a week or so.
Will keep updated.

A 'BA do Belfast' sounds like an excellent idea. Specially if it means I'll have a chance against plaguey on any ladders we get going. :D Get well soon tho' m8.

May your bones heal stronger- with strength and reflexes to exceed that of a god.
In other words- get better soon- and better than before.
