I wasn't expecting that!

How's the bike?!

Feeling blue looking at the photo

It has happened to me as well.

I think I was able to protect it with my face, so all good.

You should branch out and visit A+E.

Leaf it to the professionals.

(look, I'd already typed it. OK?? )

Hope you and that rather lovely looking bike are ok.

And the moral of the story is.... circumspection.

I called NHS 24 but apparently at this time of day my gp is responsible for my care so will need to visit the surgery for advice as I think the swelling is getting worse just above my knee.

Glad things weren't worse Slick- hope you get sorted out quickly.

Ice it and get it up above your heart while you wait. Don’t take any anti inflammatory tho

i can’t see why you can’t go to A&E (given you’ve clearly had an A )

GP will likely just send you there anyhow unless s/he has xray vision
I doubt you’ll actually get a F-F appointment with GP, but due to Covid triage it’ll be a (video) call

A&E was the last place I really wanted to go but I might just have to.

I always get trees and dogs mixed up. Remember with trees, the bark hurts more.

 

[Slick]

Hopefully I'm not wasting anyone's time but decided to go to A&E now.

Just in case.

I misread that at first and wasn't sure how his gentlemans gentleman would make a difference...

I was talking to an ambulance driver a few days ago.

He said A&E had been much quieter since Covid, so hopefully you won't have hours to wait.
