I'm back home now, they wanted to keep

left hand and it hurts a bit. My right elbow was fractured in my bike crash
and in a two hour operation the doctors manage to fix all the bone parts.
It was a bit complicated and I have now more metal inside!! A few screws
and stuff... [see full story for more]- Click
