I remember you writing about your fall blueberry I think dental accidents are worst of all and count myself very lucky my teeth were okay. I’ve split my lip and my front tooth felt weird yesterday but apparently we have ligaments holding our teeth (who knew!) and I must’ve jerked/bruised mine.

I’ve got a black eye this morning from my glasses and my nose and mouth are very swollen- I keep saying I look like the phantom of the opera. But the nurse yesterday assured me mouths heal quickly, in the meantime I’m drinking with a straw!

I think my confidence has been knocked, I’ve had falls before (years ago) but this one was worse maybe because I was carrying my water bottle so didn’t have my hands free to break the fall. So I’m anticipating that getting out there again may be a gradual process.

Thanks for all the hugs and support, it means a lot. Hoping everyone is doing okay and not offput exercise by my experience.
