A couple of years ago, I thought I could fly, and fell 12 feet from a ladder , resulting in a magnificent fracture of my pelvis, I detailed the sorry saga in this thread
http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/please-be-careful.369371/
Anyway, 2 years down the line, I thought I would request copies of the X-Rays they took over the inpatient/outpatient treatment, so after paying the necessary fee, half a dozen CD's landed on my doorstep, with all the X-ray, CAT scan and MRI images.
The first X-ray is before I was operated on, the red arrows showing the cracking away between the pelvic wing (iliac crest) right down to my hip joint.
The second Xray , is shortly after being operated on, all pinned, screwed and clamped together, you can see the row of metal clips they used to 'stitch' the operation wound together.
3rd & 4th X-rays are from the other week, showing healthy bone tissue, with the offending parts well and truly bonded.
A cat scan showing the injury in context, to retain a modicum of dignity, and to prevent you blokes going green with envy, I've covered up using a jaunty mankini.
Finally, the actual tree/ladder I fell from, lopping some of the top branches.
A rather elegant dive I think, if Tom Daley happens to look in on the thread, perhaps an audition for 'Splash' is on the cards?
