ok the morphine is out of my system now so i can finally rember stuff for more than a few minutes. still dont know what happened, but injuries are:
left tibia broken in 2 places - repaired with internal nail, but swelled up (compartment syndrome) during repair, so had to be sliced open (faciotomy)
right femur broken - repaired with internal nail
right fibula broken (?left as well) - left to heal on its own
right humerous broken - repaired with a plate (nice scar)
right clavicle broken - mending on its own
left ulna shattered at elbow - repaired with plate - a bit sore but almost full use already
i can walk short distances with a fair amount of pain, but its getting better as the days go by. im hoping to get out of hospital next week. excuse the writing this patientline keyboard is <beep>!
photos to follow once i get out.

Yay for going home! Next weekend I'll be up in Manchester and have some time on Saturday if you want a visitor. If you do, drop me a PM with where you actually are.
the pictures of the wreck really upset me when i see them. seeing my pride and joy in that state is only part of it - the thought of what could have happened if my family was in the car with me is the real worry.
looking at the mangled mess that was my car, its a miracle that nobody was killed in this accident. im taking it as a polite warning from whatever powers govern the universe. one thing is for sure - my driving style will have major revisions when i get back on the road. the 'thrill' factor becomes less important to you when something like this happens.
looks like my next car will probably be an audi all-road diesel auto. my 'sub-supercar' days are over (for now), although i will be treating myself to a few lambo or ferrari track days with the money i save on fuel
