Sorry that I have not been around in over a month, but a car hit me while crossing the street on 12019-11-23… · 7:03am Dec 26th, 2019

… it is difficult to stay on the Internet when one is in the hospital with 3 broken limbs and only a SmartPhone. Bedpans are not as fun as one would believe. My limbs should be weight-bearing in mid January, thus althowing me to walk again, and I should make a full recovery in about 6 months.

That sucks. May you have lots of good stories to read, visits from friends, and pony plushies to stay by your bed.

¡Thanks, oh Professor!

It sucks to have 3 broken limbs. 1 speeding red-light runner can uppend everything, and less than a month after Mother died (if Mother would still be alive, she would have visited me every day).

Your nation goes ahead with BrExit. You know from my comments citing Electoral Mathematics that I feel that doing so is a bad idea.

I hear that the 1st season of the coproduction of the BBC and HBO of His Dark Materials is available. Unfortunately, I do not have HBO, but you probably have BBC; so hopefully now, you can watch it. I personally love His Dark Materials. Parts of your writing seem influenced by His Dark Materials to me.

¡Thanks for writing to me! Stay safe.

Yes I watched and very much enjoyed the His Dark Materials series. I also finished reading the second part of the Book of Dust trilogy.
It's been a tiring year. So many anti-Brexit rallies, protests, elections... And now the Far Right are in charge, we can't expect any improvement to our flawed electoral system.

I know that the politicians will not change the system electing them, but it should have been obvious that allowing a disruptive irreversible action by a vote of 50% plus 1 vote is a bad idea. A nonreversible disruptive action should require a supermajority. For your politicians to do something so dumb, they must be almost as stupid as our politicians.

I am glad that you like the new miniseries of His Dark Materials. I have not yet read the Book of Dust.

I'm glad there wasn't any permanent damage. I hope your healing is going well.

Next week, I shall have X-Rays. If they look good, I shall be allowed to walk again and have my left arm remobilized:

My left arm was so badly mangled that it required 6 hours of surgery. Much of my humerus and radius are now metalic. It has been immobilized for 2 month. After the cast will be removed, it will be nonfuctional. It will take months to recover.

Although I shall be able to walk next Wednesday, if the X-Rays look okay, my sense of balance deteriorated these last 2 months, several ligaments snapped, and and stabilizing muscles atrophied. I shall need braces for stabilizing the joints without ligaments and a walker. I shall need the braces until I can have my ligaments repaired (being disarticulated leaves one subject to dislocation). I should progress rapidly from walker to crutches to cane to unassisted walking with just the braces over a month or so.

5192317 That's amazing! You're like Wolverine now.

Unfortunately, I do not have his healing factor. I am neither Wolverine nor a T-800, although I resemble both internally now.
