Falcon, can I ask how you broke your femur? Mine snapped of its own accord at mile 23 of the Stockholm Marathon! That was 5 years ago now, but I still get the occasional problem.
Hi Northerner, I had borrowed my mate's Harley and after cruising down the local dual carrigeway at the ton hit some diesel on the roundabout. Sounds good but not the truth. I actually told someone this when they started telling me that the fracture was caused by me not eating enough spinach - I do not know the person and they just came up and interrupted a conversation I was having with a friend whilst on crutches. The truth is far less interesting. I actually tripped and went over something else. In hospital the surgeon said that it was just not my day (an understatement) and that if I had been shorter and lighter I would have got away with it (85kg/1.85m). At least subsequent tests in Guy's shown better than average bone density and no underlying cause. Have you still got the metalwork in? Apparently my leg has a higher scrap value than many cars!
