Okay share your injuries here.
I'll start.
Couple of weeks back I decided to get a new tyre for my bike. 50m from the shop is a crossing, sloping right to left on the way. I was not rushing but as I approached, the green man flashed. As I stepped into the road, right foot first, it slipped sadly not defying gravity so my load bearing leg went underneath me with no chance of saving it. I went down like a tonne of shit but managed to put my arms out. Landed 40/40/20 right hip(where still injured from falling off bike/right hand/left hand. To add insult to injury, a fella coming the other way on a mobilty scooter checked me out and offered me a lift. I laughed it off but my hands were in agony (for half an hour). Unable to get out of car properly on lie on right side for week, bruising up inside of wrist (still) and swollen thumb and painful shoulder and elbow.
It was only a fucking slip. On a dry road. I'm fucked really.

That's a cunt Eddie.
Is this thread a sort of top trumps for A and E visits or do you accept irritating strains?

Apart from my slam to floor on ice in February I've managed to remain to remain upright. Everything takes fucking ages to heal though which is annoying. The bruising on my thigh and into the hip area literally took months go down and the hip is actually still sore! WTF. Aging - you are a cunt.
30 years ago I'd have been right in about 3 days.
It's shit that 25 years ago I could crash into a car head on, on a motorbike and almost walk away with no injuries. Now I fall off at literally 10mph and end up fucked for months.
On the plus side, since I had to be sidelined with illness most of winter my knee has healed up. Once I really get going again I'll see if it's cycling that actually causes it.

My last visit to A&E was 3 broken fingers that I trapped in the pub door. Yes I was lazered but no it wasn't my fault apparently...I cant remember much of it other that lots of blood, and pain...and our lass slapping me round the face telling me to pull myself together...the twat. I lost 3 finger nails and had spikes in my fingers for a few weeks...They look gruesome and you could stick stuff on them like olives and shit...top fun!
Ive also got a case of arse grapes right now too

Just post your 'for fuck sake' medical stuff. My mid 80s old man had a fall a few months back. He looked fucking terrible with bruising covering a lot of his upper face/forehead. One week later, it was barely visible. I'd still be mistaken for the elephant man if that was me.
