A few years ago I tripped on a piece of broken cement, then smashed my face on a very large piece. I also smashed my wrist, in Penang.

People passed by as I tried to call my husband using my left hand.

Eventually I put my two bags over my left shoulder, carried my handbag,all the while trying to support my wrist.

I made my way to our condo, in huge pain, blood everywhere, Fortunately my husband walked to meet me, we got a taxi to the hospital and everything was fine.

Malaysian people are wonderful, but there's this reluctance to get involved with someone who has had an accident.
