Crashed

I will go into more detail presently, but on Saturday I skated down a hill and collided with this van:

It was going pretty fast and I was airlifted to hospital. Brett took this of me that night.

I'm amazingly lucky I'm not dead. This is the name of my file:

No internal bleeding, broken nose, broken rib, grazes all over me. This is me yesterday following plastic surgery.

I finally got out of hospital this afternoon. Thanks for all your messages and visits, they have made it so much easier to deal with. I feel incredibly lucky and even more interesting.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! Totally not what I expected to see on my mid-week Note To Self blog-check.. Ridiculous!! Super happy that you are healing up.. I didn't believe it until the last photo. I've had family members in hospital and I wasn't this concerned! Get well soon.. Oh yeah we are now plastic surgery nose brothers (smashed mine in the edge of a brick if you remember)

Bloody hell Max! I'm one of your mum's friends from Nottingham - my son is 13 and I had hoped I only had a few more years of worrying about what a t**t he is on his bike - bushes jump out at him and stuff like that, making him crash -but skateboarding at 32? Give your mum a break and get a car, or jog, how about the bus? Hope you're back on your feet/board soon.
