be safe out there kids ;)

[Tamago]

i took a face-forward spill onto concrete, wasn't able to get my hands out to catch my fall.. my shoulder took about half of the fall, but not enough IMO haha. i'd love to have a bigger bruise/laceration on my shoulder right now in trade for this face stuff.

faceplanted how? bike or something?

[Tamago]

faceplanted how? bike or something?

nope.. walking forward but looking over my shoulder.. no glamour here. i'd love to say i was rescuing kittens or puppies from a burning building.. lol

As fas as I can see from these pics, your face still looks good, should heal real nicely, but even if that isn't the case, they can do spectacular things these days to get rid of scars, so try not to worry too much.

Best wishes for your prompt recovery.

[marcus]

[DandiDani]

I actually striked the match nowhere near my face; just goes to show what a freak accident it was. Yours on the other hand........ lmao. :bow: I can't top it.

That happened to my brother, years ago. I'm still laughing, just thinking about it :laugh:

It was in the summer out here in California, and he walked into the deep end of a hotel pool fully clothed, with his glasses, his towel, his walkman, and his book, only because he saw a hot chick on the other side of the pool and failed to notice where he was going.

I can't help myself, everytime I think about it, I still laugh :laugh::laugh:

Nobody was hurt, that's the best part.

Nah you don't wanna be seen wearing a bike helmet just for walking. It's just embarrassing. Try this instead

lol Anyways, it could've been worse. Glad you're okay.

Chicks dig scars. :biggrin:

QFT :bow:

[tomato]

Nah, he won't have a scar. Maybe a very small, cute one.

[Kioshi]

damn, glad your eye is still functional Tamago. My dad lost his left...or right? no vision....

LMAO at Jojo's pic, and Peter's comment :laugh:

[TLyttle]

Yeah, very lucky... once an eye is gone, it is gone. A good friend was trying to unlock his car with a coathanger; need I say more?

[tomato]

How do you feel, Tamago, has swelling gone down a bit by now?

[Tamago]

i'm doing much better! thanks for all the kind words people!

wednesday was the most painful day. it was also the day that i drained out all of the fluid trapped in my cheekbone area. a tablespoon of some really gross colored goo came out (none of it was green/yellow/white, so i dont think it was highly infected)

here's day 7 (today)

[AlexNet0]

Well, at least its healing nicely

[tomato]

Yeah, it looks real good, as far as I can tell from the pic. :thumbsup:

You might have a very, very small but cute scar (I insist it will be cute) :wink:

I've seen facial injuries post mountain bike accidents, and I've fallen myself a couple of times and have scars to prove it, so that's why I think you're gonna be fine.

Vicodin makes me barf too. Try to split your pills and take half the dosage now WITH FOOD and half 2 hours later, I find it helps to break it down that way. Sometimes it's just easier not to take it and take Ibuprofen instead (won't do much for the pain, though, but it helps inflammation, etc.) make sure they give you something so there is no infection. Infection would prevent you to heal well and probably affect the scar you end up with.
