I got hit by a car while cycling home today. I'm okay, but for a value of okay that involved spending five hours at Whipps Cross A & E where they put my fractured left wrist in plaster. I have a nasty graze on my cheek, too. Nothing life-threatening, or likely to be long-term serious.

All plans for the next week or so are potentially off, and any plans involving my driving a car any time in the next couple of months should be re-arranged (sorry dreamsewing).

Yes, I am right-handed, which in this case is fortunate. Not least because I could actually sign the police statement this morning. That said, even my right wrist is very sore, and not up to any prolonged use or sustained pressure. Fortunately, I can flush the toilet with my feet. ;-)

Impressive pedexterity (or something similar)! very glad it didn't get your dominant hand as badly.

Hope it all becomes less painful soon. It's utterly rotten.

I can and often do flush toilets with my feet, but then I do have excellent pedexterity or whatever it's called. Mainly ones at work where the cistern bites your hand and I don't have sufficient wrist/hand strength for them.

I used to use my feet more than my hands cos they were quite screwed when I was small. Feet make excellent toast stacks.
