5th metatarsal base fracture. In the UK you get a boot. In Belgian hospitals a cast is the only way!
I will be seeing my (awesome) GP tomorrow to see if he can get me into a boot next week.
Unless I don’t have a what I think I have, but my X-ray begs to differ.
Not tried any car games as yet. Mostly FPS and a golf game so far. Farpoint is awesome but my body just needs to get used to the whole moving/turning in game but stationary in person. A lot of fun though!
Collecting them is half the enjoyment!
They do smell good but hoping to age them a bit.
Brought them back from abroad.
Less than half the price of buying in the UK.
I'll stock up from now on when I go away, or chance it getting through without the taxes by buying them online.
I’ll get a bill in the post in a few weeks, with the majority covered by the minimum-level of mandatory health insurance (€10 per month).
I went to a A&E at big hospital in the suburbs of Brussels and was x-rayed after an hour. Had the cast fitted and sent on my way another hour later. It was rather quiet today.
Could you get that done in 2 hours in the UK? This hospital’s A&E averages around 220 patients a day.

Just how many phones do you get through? Nearly every post is a new phone.
TBF it was a beautiful sunny Sunday (28+ C) and the place was deserted.
My GF went to A&E on a Friday night (with exactly the same thing) last year and was there for 7 hours

To be fair, this one is a birthday gift for my mum. I have to get it set up for her and everything of course.

I was in a big accident in Thailand, Ko Samui, and was in, x-rayed and strapped up before I woke up. First thing I remember is being in a taxi in straps and casts. Went back in next day for surgery (I chose it, it was an option that increased recovery speed and I was in agony). Got done that day, and chilled there for 24 hours before I was out. 10/10 would get hit by a bus on a Thai island again.
It would have been very expensive but the nice doctor explained in broken English that carefully written medical reports make happy insurance claims.
On a related story, a friend was on one of those party van bus things on some island in Thai Island (you know pick up truck thing, with those crappy little plastic chairs). One of the guys flew off the back, van/taxi drivers response 'It's ok, next one will get him'
Pretty decent care though. But I reckon the tourist accident rate is so high, doctors make a pretty penny out of it!
It wants to be for £1100!!!

They look lovely in the living room.
And I’ve got to ask, whose idea was it it to buy furniture in Colman’s yellow?
