Me and the bar they hammered through my leg.

I broke my thigh bone right at the top near the hip joint at around 10:35pm on the Friday 15th May. I did this by slipping in the bath, just as I had finished my shower, and was getting out.

Once I got to the hospital, I was x-rayed, and I was told that I had broken my leg. I had hoped that it was just dislocated, but the x-ray proved the cause of my pain.

They hammered a steel bar through my lower leg as they needed to put my upper leg in traction to make sure that the muscle did not contract too much.
