2013 and I'm broken.

Yes, it hurt a lot.
Can you believe this? Not a month into 2013 and this happens. Sigh. 

Yes, I am now the proud owner of bionic leg, complete with titanium rod, plate, and apparently several screws holding it all together. This lovely memento was snapped following emergency surgery conducted at the Leiden University hospital after a nasty spill on the icy pedestrian path last month. Nobody seems to believe that one can do this much damage by falling on the ice, but I'll tell you what, if any clumsy creature on this earth can do it, it's me. I have (at least) two more weeks completely off of the leg before I can even begin physical therapy. This sucks, guys. That's all I wanted to say.
