Ouch! Recover well.
Damaris
As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

The ribs only hurt now when I am doing planks.
They never put a cast on my hand. Still some pain and I have problems gripping, but it isn't too bad.

Barking Mad To Run
Bruised face after I once ran right into the butt/flank of a police horse. Those dang police horses are really BIG and FIRM too....after I hit it I was bounced back on my keister about 2 feet...
Got some road rash running in Wales when I fell over a sheep.....

Odd. I guess real Texans drive big pickup trucks and only sissies walk on sidewalks.
I've got one like that and trucks keep backing into it! It was broken once but usually just get's pushed around. Right nw it's about 6 inches back from the curb.
I think the second time I fell and skinned my knee in the exact same spot I had fallen earlier took some serious talent on my part.
At least you avoided a second scar.
The first time I just broke my phone, but avoided breaking any skin. Luckily it was a $20 phone, and learning how to go about replacing a $20 phone but keeping the same number was a very good task for getting used to a new country in the first week of being there. With the next fall I got to learn about the types of medicines and bandages were available at the local pharmacy!
For the 2014-2015 winter, I bought me some serious cold weather gear. One night the temperature was finally going to drop below zero so I wanted to try it out when it was at its absolute coldest. I waited until around 11:00 p.m. to head out the door. During the run, I ran into a pine tree branch and scratched my right cornea. Badly. I have had one minor surgical procedure on the eye and it still hasn't healed completely. So, that was pretty damn stupid.Currently, I am recovering from surgery for a torn meniscus. I tore it turning to hang up a pair of pants in my closet.
