OW......that bl**dy hurt......a LOT!!!!!

[Dave7]

I have an remote up & over door on the garage. Last night I drove onto the drive and pressed the fob to raise the door. I lifted a heavy item from the car and carried it (or tried to) into the garage....... not realising the door had, for some reason, not fully raised.
I was concentrating on not tripping on the plinth and walked head first into the corner of the door.
I remember falling back and landing on my bum bone.....then lying on the ground while coming round. Took maybe 30 seconds before I could get up.
Lots of lavender and an ice pack brought the swelling down but my bum bone must be bruised as it hurts to walk.
TBH.... at first I though I MUST have fractured my skull. Aged 71 I think the human body has amazing recovery

How many fingers am I holding up, Dave?

Seriously, any lingering headache or dizziness, sickness, double vision or memory loss, get yourself straight down to A&E.

Your eyes ok?

Second what MikeG say about getting yourself down to the A&E though.

Google didn't help.

Ouch!
Mind you, when people act all concerned instead of taking the piss, that's when you are genuinely old!

Appreciate that and have been looking for signs. Really amazed to have got away with it.
AND.... its two fingers.....thank you

My garage door has a broken bit at the bottom where I kicked it so hard the rivets broke. That was just after I'd walked into it and smashed me noggin.

For years I've been banging my head when doing DIY and swearing that one day I would invent a non-sweaty skull protector. Now I discover that someone's beaten me to it:
