In the rain, fell off my scooter and broke my collarbone. Made it home, but needed Scottish Ambulance Service to Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for X-ray. Discharged following morning, but required surgery 2 weeks later because of awkward break. Complications due to fact I was on Warfarin. 2 months later, attending physio at Western General in Edinburgh, making a full recovery.
