I fell recently as well, neo. Your description of the fall is beautifully accurate! Thank you. I am becoming sorer tho icing and taking Advil regularly. Feel very foolish and self-blaming but all the comments have really helped. So again, thank you.

I was seeing double when I fell leading with my chin first, then head and alas my body caught up. I wound up with a half of chin beneath my lips with road rash and bruised as well as various bruises on my nose and cheekbones. My knee got a little, bled a lot but was mostly for show. What concerned me was facial scars, loose teeth or jaw. Then the head and lastly my body. I fall often indoors as well and would like to learn to cover my face and teeth as a reflex. Better them than a broken arm. I’m not getting very far.

Thank you for your quick reply. I fell flat on my face
in front of about everyone I know and am running
out of excuses as to why I am not out and about.
The lump really has me worried in spite of the fact
that I saw a dr.
I enjoy your blog. Thanks again.

Gail: black and blue marks will probably take about a month. Swelling will go down quite a bit in that time, but it will probably take many many months for it to go completely away.

Help. I fell flat on my face and because bump on
brow bone is larger than a golf ball went to the dr and he did a brain scan and all is ok there but the lump is still huge and hurts.
How long before it goes away? I have been hiding for a week-face is all black, blue and etc colors.
Thanks.

And another thing I don’t seem to be able to do now is drive the ball to the opposite field.

Waltj, keep the front shoulder in – that’s the key. Problems going the other way usually arise from pulling off the ball.

Apologies to neo for burning bandwidth on this. I promise to desist!

Neo – having just fallen off my deck into some branches three days ago, I was interested to read this. I have a badly sprained ankle and branch poke injuries, it’s very painful and I can barely get around.
I don’t really think it’s about getting older, these things happen throughout life, without warning. But we really need to be careful, and wear shoes!

Glad to hear you’re healing, and I hope it continues quickly. Sorry to read about this. Be careful, we kinda need you!
