Hope you are feeling better Amanda, and the black eye is starting to change colour and go.

I have noticed whenever I go out of the house, I feel a bit lightheaded and odd (who said what's new?) so have made an apptmt at my doctor's surgery for later today. I am due a tetanus jab too as I got a reminder a while back and couldn't have it at the time as was having flu jab and vit d jab. The Walk in centre didn't ask me about it when I had my fall so will try to get that done today too, but want the doc to check me over just in case I have done something that is making me light headed. It's 5 weeks today since I fell.

More snow forecast before winter is out so I will make sure I stock up on essentials like chocolate etc so I can stay in if necessary.

Have just read about your accident Amanda and hope you're not in too much pain.
Funny how we laugh about things,but if we didn't we'd cry even more. Hope your face doesn't take too long to heal.

My family said I looked like the elephant man (after a fall flat on my face on the road)..no i'd not touched a drop lol. Skin healed smashing,so much so I don't have a wrinkle on left side of face lolol .....so you've probably had skin dermabrasion too

Seriously though I do hope you take things easy and get lots of TLC

Good morning folks .

Thank you again for all the messages on this thread xx

I'm glad your bump on the head is better now Liz , it took some time didn't it .
I feel remarkably ok this morning , the "egg" has sort of spread itself out and now the right side of my forehead looks at least 20 years younger than the other side , no furrowed brow or surprise wrinkles at all .....lol
The black eye started last night , it looks like I've carefully applyed " Goth " style thick eye shadow over the right eye.......it's slowly spreading to the under side of the eye as well........by this evening I'll probably look like a Panda in reverse ( hope that makes sence ) .

I am taking it very easy today , no sudden moves and I'm creeping about much slower than usual.....lol
All things considered , I'm just relieved that I got off as lightly as I did !
You ALL be careful in your kitchens ladies......I'm staying out of mine .....lol

Amanda, I can really sympathise as before Christmas I went down backwards on some black ice, hit the back of my head on the icy road and saw stars! It took ages for the lump to go down and was tender for a long time, I had to cancel a hair cut as I couldn't bear to think of the girl dragging her comb over the sore place. I was lucky I only got graze marks so no stitches or steristrips - I went to the walk in centre as it was nearer and too much snow and ice to go 8 miles to the hospital. I have still had headaches up till last week so take it easy and rest as much as you can.
I am glad your family were so good to you, I had a neighbour help pick me up out of the road and walked me home as it was only aout 50 yds.

Oh Mandy - I didn't realise how bad it is. Get what you can out of it - no ironing or vacuuming for you for about a month:-)) And stay out of that kitchen.
