Despite the nasty injury, breaking his leg, Sebastian made light of the situation, posing in his bed and later down the pub with a pint, while still in his medical gown.
He wrote: 'New Hair! New Normal! Dear Souzles, forgive the radio silence! Three weeks ago I broke my leg falling off my bike.'
He credited 'very very kind people' who helped get him to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, as well as the team who looked after him once at A&E.
'You know who you are and I will never be able to repay you,' he commented.

Praising the 'extraordinary team', he said: 'the gorgeous paramedics, doctors, nurses, domestic and administrative staff, all of whom made me feel so welcome and comfortable and safe.
'As it turned out, I had a tibial plateau fracture (more commonly known as bike leg) and needed an operation.'
'St Mary's is one of the best trauma centres on planet earth and so, naturally, there were lots of poor people with injuries far graver than mine queuing up for operations that needed doing quickly, which meant my mangled knee would have to wait a little bit before getting patched up,' he continued.
'And so it was that I ended up spending the most wonderful, inspiring, insightful, love-filled fortnight on St Mary's Valentine Ellis and Zachary Cope wards, waiting for my surgery!'

Sebastian noted: 'I have never been treated with such kindness, care, respect, sensitivity and love, nor have I ever seen such professionalism and compassion shown so consistently by anyone to everyone, ever.'
'Thank God for @nhsengland @nhsenglandldn,' he said. 'As far as I'm concerned the NHS is the greatest institution ever invented and should be supported, protected and celebrated at all costs. Forever.'

Irish healthtech firm partners with NHS trusts to improve radiology services
AN Irish healthtech firm will partner with three major NHS trusts to improve access to radiology services for their patients. xWave Technologies has agreed the partnership with the trusts in the Greater Manchester region who will use their clinical decision support (CDS) tool to streamline access to medical imaging procedures. Led by the Greater Manchester Imaging Network, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust and the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will all begin rolling out the new scheme, titled GP Direct Access, later this year. It will allow GPs to directly order CT scans of the chest, stomach and hip areas of the body and MRI scans of the brain, in addition to the x-rays and ultrasounds they can already order. Mitchell O'Gorman, CEO at xWave (Pic: Nick Bradshaw) The software provides guidance to doctors in ordering the most appropriate scan for patients as it integrates with the Royal College of Radiologists' iRefer guidelines. 'We're incredibly excited to work with such forward-thinking trusts to deliver clinical decision support at scale,' xWave Technologies CEO Mitchell O'Gorman said. 'At a time when radiology waiting lists are growing and workforce shortages are intensifying, tools like ours can help trusts deliver faster, smarter, and more equitable access to diagnostic imaging.' He added: 'The rollout of xWave's platform comes as NHS England is making additional funding available for NHS trusts that have not yet adopted clinical decision support solutions. 'This funding is intended to support broader adoption of CDS technologies, such as xWave CDS, to reduce unnecessary imaging, alleviate pressure on radiology services, and ensure patients receive timely and accurate diagnoses.' The technology is set to be rolled out across Greater Manchester throughout 2025 and 2026. 'We are delighted to be introducing this innovative technology across three of our NHS Trusts,' Catherine Walsh, Associate Director of the Greater Manchester Imaging Network, said. 'These tools will not only improve outcomes for patients by ensuring they get the right scan at the right time, but they will also support our hardworking GPs and radiology teams by streamlining workflows and optimising use of limited resources,' she added.
