Ah bother!

Don't be worried, I have all the bad luck for everyone on CC

Oh, can't "like" that!

This confusion could have been avoided if Vicks hadn't stopped my posting an image of my most serious injury: rib cage

How do you know what I look like? Albeit without the hat

It's not a hat, it's a wig!

I've got skin off on my elbow and wrist, the other wrist has an ache, I've a nasty bruise coming up on my calf, my ribs are bruised and I expect drawing a deep breath tomorrow will be painful

Caught up with Vicks today. She's definitely won the bruised legs stakes, but I think recovering well. Full of antibiotics, but no one seems to be worried she'll get another infection.

I've had a chest x-ray, and nothing spectacularly wrong was found, but still waiting for the full report. I don't think anything is broken, but it's still hurting. Took the road bike out today for the first time and I could really feel it after a few miles. Strange, because no bruise showed on the skin. I'll call doc tomorrow to confirm nothing showed up in the detailed report; I imagine even if it did, there'd probably not be much to be done except wait for it to heal.

But it all made me a bit nervous on the road, definitely didn't hit full speed. And was very grateful to drivers who gave me space -and there were a few! - lots of thumbs up for them. The idea of landing on any part that hit the ground last week filled me with horror.
