So last Monday, I woke up and noticed that some antennas (for #meshcore) I have stuck to the outside of my windows, had moved in the wind. To access them, it’s via a 5th floor window. I remember opening the window and reaching for the antenna. Next: two days later in a Critical Care Unit, VERY broken.
I had fallen 5 floors directly onto a concrete patio below.
@an0key Oh my goodness. I am delighted that the consequences were not so much worse. Wishing you a continued recovery.
Someone must have noticed, as the garden I fell in to, has been empty for a while.
Emergency services arrive, ambulance, fire, police and then the London Air Ambulance.
They work on me for an hour, before then taking me in the helicopter to London Kings College hospital (major trauma hospital).
Woke up with a broken pelvis, every left rib fractured, which has then gone on to stab/slice EVERY internal organ. Lots of internal bleeding, many drains, and hooked up with all the lines…
The amazing, caring, talented angels have been around the clock giving me the best care and love for a week, awaiting sugery. Yesterday, I get the ‘all your organs are now fine’, we just need to fix your pelvis and the ribs will self heal.
Today had the pelvis surgery… came out of recovery and back in my room, within 5 minutes a restaurant quality (and gluten free) curry waiting for me, and hardly any pain at all.
I’ll be on crutches for a month, and then thats IT. That’s it!
SO THANKFUL❤️
@neil thank you Neil. Can’t quite believe it myself!
@an0key Good grief, just caught up on this. So, so glad you're in recovery already, might not feel like it but that was a bloody lucky escape 🫣
@jess it very much does

@an0key Holy crap! Are you made of rubber? 😅 Glad you are OK. Here’s hope for a quick, and gluten free, recovery! 💪
@arroz oh I wish.
Thank you, going well, if a bit painful (ribs)
