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.

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".
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.
