damn falls

Okies this is what happens when you fall off your bike and land with your chest directly on the handlebars....the result? A really impressive bruise and not being able to breathe properly! Add to that I had to ride my bike another 20 minutes to the car, before I pretty much collapsed in a heap. My fiance drove me to casualty where I got the x-rays which thankfully showed no cracks/breakages, etc. Only problem was I could hardly move! I didn't realise how much you use your stomach/chest to sit up and lie down. On Sunday and Monday I couldn't do either without assistance - I felt like a beached whale thrashing about. Thanks to the kind emails you guys sent yesterday! Am back at work now but I won't be going to the gym for a few days! :) A couple of pics of the "aftermath".....
