Not Good News Saturday

She lives in Slough so its not like its just up the road from Exeter, and even further away from Cornwall where our parents live. She'd phoned them sometime early Saturday morning, but didn't really make much sense as she was still in shock understandably.

To cut short a long story of phonecalls and waiting for news, what happened was that around 9pm Friday night, she was crossing the road when a taxi pulled out and hit her, knocking her into the opposite lane. He/she then stopped, but then drove off! Luckily it happened outside a pub and lots of slightly drunk people came out to help and someone got the license plate of the taxi.

She was taken to A&E with an open fracture and had to wait until 2am to be seen, unbelievably. She then had an operation to pin it back together in the afternoon - both tibia and fibia were broken. Luckily the only other injury she sustained was scratches to the arm she landed on, years of martial arts training saved her from more serious head injuries when she landed.

Hopefully today (Tuesday) she will have another operation to close up the hole in her leg, get a proper cast on it and be a bit more mobile. So far she's been stuck in 1 position all the time. With a bit of luck the police will also pay her a visit so they can nail the b*****d that did it. She should be going home Wed/Thurs, then after that about a total of 3/4 months until she's fully recovered.
