Broken jaw
Those of you that have been following my twitter feed might have read that I recently had an unfortunate encounter with the street pavement after a fall with my bicycle. A lovely day turned into a nightmare after visiting the hospital, the doctors said that my jaw was broken.
I had surgery last week and I’m now slowly recovering.
I got a copy of the DICAM images (see my post from last year on how to open these on Linux) and was very curious to see how my mouth looked like.
I had surgery on crack nr. 1 and now my teeth are put in some kind of brace to prevent my chin from moving horizontally. The other cracks, 2 and 3, are not going to be treated immediately (either my body deals with it in the ‘natural’ way or I’ll have surgery in the far future).

maar Koen toch
wat heb jij nu uitgespookt; gedaan met kwetteren en kakelen en nog zoveel andere dagdagelijkse handelingen waar een mens enkel en alleen bij stilstaat in dergelijke omstandigheden; lachen, zoenen, eten etc… of valt het al bij al nog mee?
