Crash!

This is image closely parallels my bike accident yesterday (21st of march). My Orbea and I negotiated a Swanson Street tram track, I got thrown off at 36KM an hour (says my speedo) onto my shoulder, thigh, ankle and wrist. My wrist will have healed in 5-6 weeks the doc tells me, so until then, I guess I’ll really have to study over the holidays! It’s the second time I’ve decided to break my wrist, I trained myself to use one hand, I can still use my camera!

thanks TBO, I’m getting a CT scan on Tuesday just to make sure it’s all good inside the wrist.
