Re: I fell on the way to the shops..
It's horrible to fall isn't it . The shock after seems to stay too . I hope you get well soon . A few years ago I was running late for an appointment , dark and raining , I ran from one pavement to the other and fell flat on my nose . I had to work the following day at reception in the office my face was black and blue . I've never run since not even for a bus .

Thankfully, I'm seeing a nurse tomorrow anyway.
I hope you heal quickly.

I know what you mean about slow motion , it seems to take ages to hit the ground doesn't it.

I see Mups has given you a link.
Hugs to you.
Falls at any age can be really bad and upsetting, but of course when one is just that little bit older, a fall seems to effect you more.
Best wishes on a very speedy get fully over the situation.

Remove plasters, dab affected area with TCP and re-apply with fresh plasters - this will avoid any possibility of sepsis!!!

Edit: the nappy ointment isn't antiseptic.
