Endoed last night

Stopped short and had my lock/chain catch on my bar stem... oversteered the wheel and BAM, went down HARD on my left shoulder and broke my collarbone and dislocated my shoulder! It's NOT going to be a very fun next 6 weeks.

To add insult to injury the taxi I was turning to miss just drove off, running over my glasses. It was totally my fault, but a simple "are you OK?" would have gone a long way.

Needless to say, although I recieved no head injury, I will be wearing my helmet from now on.

X-Ray pics to follow once I can deal with looking at the CD they gave me.

PS: My old work's insurance covers me until the end of November... Whew!! Ambulances are not cheap!
