Pictures I promised

Hey,

Here are the pictures of my running injury I said I would put up.
In the first you can see where the metal was placed in my leg to reattach the two parts of my femur together, using a technique called the dynamic hip screw (dhs).

And in the 2nd you can clearly see the rack in my right femur and that my entire hip has shifted upwards by around 3" making my leg a lot shorter in the process.

The last 3 months

Hey, so haven't been around much lately, many apologies for that...I'll try to do better.  One of the main reasons for this was that in May, just after all my coursework deadlines and 2 days before my first exam I very cleverly broke my hip.

How did I do this?? By running.  I ran 10k on a stress fracture and 30m from the end it gave way and the neck of my femur snapped in half.  Ouch.  This has however given me some more ideas for posts, such as, the chemistry and biology behind gas and air and morphine.  So now I am currently revising whilst doing a lab placement at the University.

Sorry for the delay...pics will be up soon
