At the end of my 1st full day in Paris - the beginning of what was supposed to be a 2 month tour.
Totally my fault, didn't see/clear a metal post blocking the entrance to a pathway.
Shattered Distal Radius and fractured Ulna, the hospital in Paris immobilized it so I could fly home.
Surgery 10 days later back in the USA.
Being badly hurt, alone, in a foreign country was pretty traumatic experience.
Thankful it happened in France though. They took good care of me.
