This entry is simply to explain how I broke my leg,since I've been asked. Copied straight from the reply I gave to a comment left for that entry.

I was in edinburgh staying with my aunt and uncle and my dog was with us. Unfortunately they (now we) live on the edge of a main road and the garden is not exactly dog proof. One day she decided to take herself for a walk when my uncle opened the door, and to be honest I don't blame her, town must be such a boring place for animals to live, but unfortunately she has no road sense at all. I heard my uncle yelling and chasing after her and then I grabbed alead and went to try and catch her as quickly as possible and spotted her in the middle of the road. After that I guess I just panicked and rushed out to get her; next thing I knew I was hit by a transit van. Luckily the dog was okay, she ran off out of the way and up a neighbor's driveway where she was caught, but I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks with a broken leg and mild concussion. Not much else to tell really, that's basically all I remember of the accident.

Ack! Fortunately you are ok, as it could have been worse. It's probably a good thing you don't remember too much :-)

Yeah, I was lucky. apparently the reason I'm not a lot worse off than I am is because I got knocked over the van and into the windscreen instead of going under it. As it is I've been back on my own two feet for about 2 weeks now.
The post above? Marvellous. Absolutely marvellous.
