Blehhhhh
No running - very swollen left knee caused by... hang on.... this one is for real, no joke... ANOTHER bike accident.
Yup. This time a lot less serious, and for a good reason. Yesterday, we went out past Alexandria on the Mt. Vernon trail, made it to Mt Vernon and were on the way back to the car when a group of pedestrians was walking up the hill on my side of the bike path while I was going downhill... Tried to break and move further to the right but got off trail, tried to get back on, something didn't work out, and I fell. It seems my helmet hit the ground first, protecting my forehead, and then my nose and my chin sort-of slid on the dirt. I think I hit the dirt and not the pavement, so it was softer... My left knee did hit the pavement very hard, it was so swallen, scary. But nothing seemed to be broken - and thankfully Will was with me to hug me and help me feel better. We biked about 1.5 miles to his car and went home to ice and laugh. No trips to the hospital this time, thankfully. Boy am I going to get sooooo many jokes from my co-workers tomorrow!
I hope all of you readers always wear a helmet, even if you're not as clumsy as me.
So now my left knee has a big bruise and my right leg has a swollen tendon above the ankle bone. The swimming pool is calling... |
