That's best I could do, with my right arm in a sling. :s
Had a cycling accident on Wednesday, cycled downhill towards a roundabout with a petrol station and a funeral directors. Was late for a doctor's appointment. A car pulled out in front and I braked hard to avoid.
No contact was made between us, but I made contact with the floor.
Wearing a bicycle helmet which probably saved me from a worse result.
Got a concussion and was out for a good 10 minutes until the ambulance arrived.
Precaution was taken of a neck brace, but an MRI scan showed my neck was alright.
My arms were aching however and my right arm after being x-ray'd was fractured at the wrist and elbow.
My left arm aches and is sore, but so far appears to be unbroken..
Currently off work and around at a friend's house whilst I recover my strength in my left arm.
(can't open the front door to my flat because my arm hurts when trying to rotate.)
My first night eating chips I was eating them 'like a pony'. Couldn't use my hands very well, to get them near to my mouth (right arm held in place in cast & left was hurting too much). So I just dived into the bowl of chips head first. Friend helped feed me with a fork and had to ask for a straw from a local take away so I could drink water.
Slowly regaining a bit of power in left, should be getting a proper cast on Monday. But that puts a spanner in the works for my plan next week to go visit the Lake District with my sister.
Oh because of the possibility of neck injury, they had to cut one of my prized we love fine t-shirts.
The appropriate Derpy Hooves Tshirt (now in flag form), pony of accidents and misadventure, had to be cut off along with my trousers because at the time there was a risk that I had damaged my neck. Thankfully I do have a spare Tshirt of this particular design.
And to top it all I won £10 on the National Lottery.
My bicycle whilst uninsured is fine, my glasses, however are slightly broken (and stained).
Currently resting up deciding what to do with my rest time. I do have two weeks of holiday from work, looks like I shall be taking it early. Time to pause and reflect on my life goals, etc.
, not the Tetris flash games)
