I had the same, twice in one night!
.
When I fell over in the kitchen in May and sliced my finger wide open I also headbutted a cupboard door. The doctor was more concerned about my bonce than the blood oozing through the dressing Mrs SJ had put on the finger at what I thought was a rather alarming rate. He kept asking me to follow his finger about with my eyes, despite my protestations that the head felt absolutely fineI suspect the desire to keep slick in is due to the fact that he whacked his head as well as his knee and shoulder, so they may be concerned about head injury. I suppose we should now survey @Slick to add to our cycle helmet research...

Not if you’ve had that habit for a long time (and especially if it was more in the past). Smoking is extremely detrimental to every part of your body which you probably know already
. It’s especially pertinent to know when considering healing and infection risk 
A bit disappointed that I fasted yesterday whilst waiting for word to go back in. I got myself ready and Mrs Slick drove me into work so I could get a few things sorted out in case I wouldn't be around for a while. I called at 3 o'clock as I was starting to wilt with hunger and they were very apologetic about not being in touch sooner but they felt I needed an MRI scan before going for the op so not sure what's changed between Thursday night and Friday. I'm still waiting for a call today as apparently I could get that scan today but I'm starting to doubt that already.Not if you’ve had that habit for a long time (and especially if it was more in the past).

(ex smoker here, albeit I didn’t smoke even half a pack a day for 10 years)
anyhow @Slick any news?
Sounds about right. They did say the line they thought was the rupture was very feint.
Radiologist 👍
Almost, the usual sort of aches and pains still lurking but still just delighted to be back.
Ah well, nearly 3 months of hard work and I finally got my first ride in of any note today. I did my normal 50k route in some pretty tough conditions and couldn't believe how hard it was or how slow I was.
Important thing is that I'm back on the bike, feeling a bit sore but quite content to finally put this behind me. 👍
Well done Slick - first ride back and 50Kms isn’t to be sniffed atAh well, nearly 3 months of hard work and I finally got my first ride in of any note today. I did my normal 50k route in some pretty tough conditions and couldn't believe how hard it was or how slow I was.

I'm delighted. A couple of short but not insignificant climbs out the saddle which was a good test. Around 15 to 20k was a bit of a slog into a tough wind and squally showers that had me sheltering under the M77 flyover chittering for a bit, but had to grit my teeth and just go for it. I baled out just a couple of miles short of Fenwick and zig zagged my way home from there. Still feeling a bit sore now but it's a definite start.Well done Slick - first ride back and 50Kms isn’t to be sniffed at
