Stephen's Bro, Jon, looks like he'll recover from an accident that will keep his personal injury lawyer busy for a while. Stephen shot up for moral support the day after his operation (performed Oct 26th) for injuries the Singaporian medics missed. Stephen returned home on the morning of the 31st (his birthday). The moral support was probably not needed, as Bea had it all covered.
The lad has a fractured sternum, 3 fractured ribs, a fractured clavicle, spinal compression and a CT in KL revealed 5 fractured vertebrae- t1/t2/t3/t4/t5- that are now home to 8 screws.
Although Jon proudly posted a shot Stephen took of his post op wound, we don'twant to force it on Athoman visitors. The clinically curious can see the effects of spinal surgery here.

Back in Malayasia, on Oct 26th close to where the guys live, the ortho surgeons wielded their scalpels
|
Their pad on left past car
|
Nice pad.
|
And clearly a target for the baddies (all Malay according to the Chinese cabbie. All Indian or immigrant workers according to others)
|
Despite evil doers, Stephen likes some morning exercise
|
As do a few of the Indian, Chinese and Malay locals
|
Bangsar is a nice area
|
At at the bottom of the street, some nice cafes ( & Bangsar Village mall)
|
Cafes include the haute cuisine of New Zealand
|
The lure of the Great Southern Land (just don't come by boat)
|
But stop...
