Falling Down

9/28/2012

0 Comments

 
I fell of my bike the other day. But instead of getting back up and continuing along my merry way, this time was a lot worse. I was projected straight over the handle bars of my bike going down a hill just after leaving home on the way to uni. 
I crashed in a way, that I broke my fall with my shoulder area and sliced of a large chunk of bone from my collar. As this happened so fast, I was unable to predict the fall, and ended up crashing in such a way. 
A witness told me that I had also landed on my head and neck area...
luckily I was wearing my helmet, I was heavily concussed and not really aware of my situation.   

I was taken to hospital by an ambulance and checked over by a doctor and then x-rayed to relive the damage.   I was told that the full pain would be apparent in about 5 days time and that the whole thing would take about 6 weeks to heal and recover.
This is really frustrating as I've only just started back at uni after waiting months over the summer holidays. I am now worried that this injury will hinder my movements to and from my place of study. And I hope that my work will not suffer due to this...

This is a new blog of the next couple of weeks to follow. I will take a photograph each day to see the state of my skin as it erupts in a mass of multicolour.

Second visit to the Hospital.

I had my second visit to the hospital today before travelling to uni. Before this visit I was already feeling pleased about my process with my shoulder. As it was feeling much better, and I was told by the doctor the first time I went to hospital, that it would feel the worst on the 5th day. Some far it had not.

The doctor said ever before asking to look at my shoulder, how long ago had I injured myself? As he was very surprised to see I was not in much pain and moving my arm around already. 
 
He said it is as if it was an old injury he was examining, as it's healed at such a quick rate. The doctor took a voice memo note about me and that was that. I asked was there anything else needed to be done, he said no but can I come back in next week to check on the progress and even another x-ray to make sure it's healing correctly. 
It appears I am healing at a very quick rate, it should really take the full 6 weeks to heal and for me to be able to use it fully again. But as it is, I should be up and running rather quickly!
 I believe this quick healing maybe down to my diet. I am vegetarian. And recently I have been pumping my body full of goodness. 
Flux seed- Which is a combination of, omega 3, protein, dietary fibre, lignans, zinc and vitamin e.
I have also been eating a lot of green foods, packed full of calcium. 
Spinach and broccoli.

Result!

Thank you Co-Coamol.

A saying which has been on my mind for a while.
I just wanted to apply it to something, get it off my mind and down on paper.
Miss her like crazy...
