State of the David: woozy, in some pain, but basically fine

Longer update ... later, when I'm not woozy, but the main points are:

* Was given a general at around 9am. Came round somewhere around 12:20pm. Remember nothing between those times.
* My left radius is now plated together near the wrist and in the correct position. Operation was a success, basically.
* My arm will be in a cast for the next six weeks (at least).
* Appointment at 10am on Tuesday at the fracture clinic, when I'll learn more.
* This (currently) hurts a lot more than last week, but I have painkillers for that, so all is basically well.

Delighted to see you doing so well! From personal experience with this kind of pain it's as well to keep the painkillers up and regular so you don't get lulled into sense of "it's fine" and find it very painful a few hours later.
