I am home again, thanks to the efforts of pretentiousgeek who drove me here and tucked me in…
To those of you who worked out that it wasn’t minor if I was in hospital that long, you’re right, but I didn’t want to panic anyone until I knew what was going on. I have a fractured rib and an injured spine, but nothing so serious that I can’t walk. I’m also pretty bruised. I haven’t seen Astrid yet, but reports are she’s pretty beaten up too.
Thanks to everyone for the messages and especially those who phoned and saved me from being bored to death.
Enormous thanks are due to crystal_storm who sat by me for many hours, to daisynerd who dropped in (thank goodness you were in the country) and then phoned me from the airport on her way home to Holland, to steam_punk, Nat, gypsyamber, the_tao, nuwishas_tail, iucounu and Krystal, who all visited, and Matt who left a lovely message on my phone from the airport on his way to Holland.
Anyhow, right now a very protective Jezebel is sitting on my fractured rib, so if you’ll excuse me…
