Out of surgery, and the most relaxing 6 hours of sleep I've had here.

If you do break your leg, I'd highly recommend doing it 1km from Europe's largest trauma hospital if you can...

A lot of the NHS is pretty bad but there are some *really* good parts and the trauma teams at the Royal London are one of those.

On the list for surgery tomorrow, assuming I don't get bumped by any emergencies.

I've not seen the CT scan of my knee but the surgeon described it as "rather a mess".

The sheer quantity of alert fatigue (and just bad alerting design) in this hospital ward is frightening. Incessant beeping that I can't even block out with earplugs.

Thanks for all the well-wishes!

I'm stuck in hospital until I can get surgery (hopefully in the next few days). Somehow managed to score a private room, I have IV painkillers, and the wifi is good enough for streaming, so it's not too bad.

Food is provided by Serco...

Managed to break my leg on some brand new, surprisingly invisible, cycle infrastructure.

A kind person had to get me to hospital in an Uber because that's apparently the ambulance service now.

That was a fair amount of rain and it was blowing in exactly the wrong direction. My house leaks in several places but only if the rain is blowing this way...
I really need to fix this leak.
