... or maybe bookends.
I now have a strange lookin eblow too!

I failed to see the tree branch on the track as I cycled this morning 
(well, it was still dark - only 5.40am or so) until it was too late. 
Lorst control and went veering into the bank, which was muddy and 
contained hard/sharp bits.

Luckily I had a cycling partner - my specs flew off and I would never 
have found them without her. (It was also lucky they flew off, as my 
face made sudden impact with the floor)

Here's the crock list, volunteers for kissing better should make a line. 
I've written it in the order that concerned me most at the moment of 
impact, so the first thing  on the list is the first thing I thought 
about and so on. The order of priority would probably say quite a bit 
about me to any psychologist persons who might analyse it:

Most importantly my glasses survived intact. One arm was slightly bent 
which made them mildly more uncomfortable to wear than normal. A quick 
trip to the opticians sorted that at no cost though. 

Secondly my bike didn't get bent - as far as I can see given a quick 
inspection I didn't get the paintwork scratched up. The plastic on my 
headlight is a little scratched and scuffed. I was able to get back on 
and ride homne with no probs so the gears/other mechanics seems to be 
fine, but I'll get my handyman to check em over.

My nose stopped bleeding pretty quickly considering it took quite a lot 
of the impact. It feels fine now though I can probably expect a few more 
nosebleeds when I get up in the mornings for a while now. That's usually 
the way. 

The lacerations to my right elbow appear to be reasonably superficial, 
as I can move my arm freely. However the cut is quite deep and was still 
bleeding 6 hours later, so I paid a visit to the 'minor injuries' 
department of the horsepickle (that's less important injuries than a 
casualty department, the nearest of which is in a horsepickle further 
away) to get it cleaned, steristripped and dressed. Now I have to keep 
the badnages on (and dry - great!) for a week. Fat chance... they'll 
work loose in no time, so I hope the rabit is ready for badnaging 
duties. 
What I liked was discovering I was still covered for tetanus following 
the jabs I had before going to Egypt. (I put good knickers on, just in 
case... )
What I wasn't so keen on was the way the nurse, as she was applying the 
steristrips, was mumbling to herself, "I don't know how successful this 
will be, but we'll have a go."
I've been warned to expect major swelling (SHEEEL take note) because 
apparently the eblow is notorious for swelling when it takes a knock, 
and it usually looks worse than it is. I have to go back if there's any 
restriction of movement of my elbow (I assume that discounts the badnage 
or the expected swelling) or any pain (again, I assume that discounts 
the pain caused by the touch of the bandage) or if any discharge starts 
seeping through the dressing (I assume this discounts the blood which I 
could see sitting just below the top layers of the badnage whilst I was 
walking out of there).

I scraped the top couple of layers of skin off the knuckle of my right 
hand little finger. It's just a little weepy and stingy the way that 
sort of cut tends to be. 

I obviously fell awkwardly on my left hand thumb. There's no damage to 
be seen (not even any swelling or bruising yet, though that might come) 
but it's painful to *do* anything with. (eg housework!)

I have a thick lip, which as you might expect given the nature of such 
things, feels far more swollen than it looks. 

Finally, there's a ninchanaralf long gash to my forehead which I didn't 
know was there until my partner in pedalling started to clean it up 
before it went in my eye. It is temporarily spoiling my good looks but 
that's about all, unless any pressure is put on it (as you'd expect).

Now it has been a long day, and I'd just like to curl up quietly with my 
blankie. Thankyouverymach.

No guarantee of the "quietly" bit but your blankie will try its best.
But what's all this about a line of volunteers for kissing better?
Blankie will flap them away to leave you in (relative) peace.

You can get a sort of stretchy net to hold bandages onto elbows and
knees. I didn't cut my elbow this time, it's just bruised. Years ago I
tripped over on a farm path and cut my elbow. It bled buckets. I had
to have steristrips, bandages and a net.
I also had to have a tetanus injection. I wish there was a way of us
automatically being told when we need a top up.

getting out of a chair.

I keep my only spare pair in the car in case I break my bestest glasses 
whilst away from home having driven somewhere. I think I'm gonna have to 
start saving for propa prescription cycling glasses (with my 
prescription they'll cost the earth).

I think I'd prefer to break my own arm than the arm of my glasses. It's 
cheaper! (Only joking, please great Yahwallah, don't strike me down)

That's the most sensible thing you've said all decade! I think so too.
Yesterday I walked around Tesco's local store thinking frantically 
"please don't hit my eblow... please don't hit my eblow...) because I 
think I might have involuntarily screamed (well OK - yelled out) if 
anyone had, due to the tenderness. It also crossed my mind that it was a 
good job I wasn't in school for the same reason.
I'm going to have to go back to the horsepickle this morning. I won't go 
into details - just mention 'discharge'.

<snip>

> You can get a sort of stretchy net to hold bandages onto elbows and

HAH! I knew such a thing existed but as they didn't give me anything 
like that, I went to Boots, explained I had to keep the badnage on for a 
week (she looked at me quizically when I said 'badnage' and 'eblow' for 
some reason) and asked if they had something like that for sale. The 
girl promptly produced a box of exactly that stuff from behind the 
pharmacy counter. Then she said, "I'll see if I can find a price because 
we don't usually sell it. We stock it for prescriptions."
She found a price.
£21
As my name is not Croetius (or even Sheeel) I told her to put it back on 
the shelf.

I didn't mention it to them. There's still no swelling or bruising. I'm 
sure it's just muscular damage though.

Don'tgothere! From a distance, the cut across my forehead looks like a 
really deep line!

Strangely enough, after many years in school, I have trained myself not 
to swear - even in my head - in moments of pain.
Anyway, I didn't have enough time for such a lucid thought.

> What are special cycling glasses?

Cyclists glasses tend to be a 'wraparound' style (for better vision to 
the sides) and tinted (for the sun). Many cyclists with normal vision 
wear them as protection from insects, etc. The frames tend to be built 
to withstand more bumps and knocks than normal glasses can take. 
Prescription ones come in two types... the cheapest has a prescription 
lens mounted behind the main part of the normal lens. The more expensive 
ones are simply special prescription lenses. In reality, for those of us 
who need a strong prescription, even the 'cheaper' option is a couple-
of-hundreds of pounds expense.

Thankfully not. Are you in cahoots with greebs?
(The suspected discharge just turned out to be the betadine pad which 
they had used as part of the dressing. The iodine was seeping back 
through and leaving a yello/brown patch on the outside of the badnage).

That's our local hospital. No long term vision of expense. They'd rather 
see people returning over and over for redressing it seems. There were 4 
people there when I was this morning who'd all come for a re-dressing 
becuase their originals had become too loose.

Yip. I don't ski <shudder> but my swimming goggles have prescription 
lenses in them. They made a world of difference to me. Suddenly I could 
actually see from one end of the pool to the other! 
With swimming googles there's less expense if you wish though, because 
you can buy standard goggles and as long as you know your prescription 
you can buy off-the-shelf ready made lenses that are only very slightly 
away from your personal script. For 20 squid I picked up a pair of 
lenses on e-bay that would fir the £12 goggles that I already had. To 
the present day I consider these the best purchase I ever made on e-bay.

Yus. This is a fine idea... a handsome idea... a great idea!

I think I'll patent it.

I didn't have a white one, but this one with a 'natural' tint will do 
for this evening and tonight. I'll consider whether or not to go to the 
expense of colour co-ordinating with the badnage tomorrow.

A pop sock is the kind made of the same sort of sheer nylon as used in 
laydies tights and stockings.
Would you like to see some stockings, blankie? Remind me at bedtime.

Funny you should say that. I tried to withdraw money yesterday and got
a message saying I didn't have enough. I went home and checked my
