Again, thanks to all. Wrist now in removable splint for about four more weeks (much better than the plaster), blood test booked in for Friday and 'signed off' re head - crack(s) will heal quite happily on their own. Doctor happy that I didn't fully black-out but rather felt dizzy and lost the ability to stand upright. Has put me on non-falling over pills as a temporary measure. Get measured for new glasses on Monday - that will help a lot, using very old ones at present.

One of our local muso friends has insured car for a couple of weeks, and took it off to Shropshire yesterday. By now he will either hate it, or be lost forever as another addict. Suspect getting keys back will be a 'cold dead hand' moment.

How about you Alan - was it a one-off, and did they find a cause? Rather worringly, two locals have had similar incidents - both on motorways.
