Just so y'all know, I won't be here much for a while. I was in a bike accident on Thursday morning, and got my leg run over by a semi. I'm home from the hospital -- as of about two hours ago -- and I'm OK, though still in a lot of pain. By some miracle, the truck that ran me over did not break any bones; I have a minor fracture in the fibula (but it's a non-weight-bearing bone, so they didn't splint it or anything), but otherwise it's all soft tissue damage. I seem to be healing quickly; I can sit in a chair and stand up with crutches for brief periods of time (this is all a major improvement over yesterday!). The doctors tell me I won't be able to leave the house for another week or two; I'll have physical therapists and nurses coming to look after me in the meantime. Matthieu is taking good care of me, and putting up with my alternating foul tempers and whimpers with impressive grace.

Bad timing for it; this is the last week of classes, followed by reading period and exams. My teachers have been really nice and accommodating so far, though, so I think I can mostly just concentrate on getting well and getting stronger. Good news, because even laid up, I don't think the Percocet is going to allow me to get much work done.

Anyway, I'll try to keep y'all abreast of major developments, but I'm not going to be around much for a while. So you know.

ow!, biking, health
