I had a bad bike smash tonight. Someone opened a parked car door onto me. Right elbow badly grazed and very stiff. Left knuckles bruised. Bruises on right hip and knee. Helmet took some impact but okay.
I will find out how much damage has been done in the morning. At the moment too much adrenaline to tell.
Bike needed handlebars straightening relative to wheel. Its going in Tuesday for a service anyway.
Im not bothering with the insurance stuff. I was worried for about 30 seconds I was going to need an ambulance - I was in alot of pain. After 30 seconds it started getting better.
At the moment the last thing I need is tons of paperwork. Im permie so if I have to take sick days then I am okay. I was so relieved it was not more serious. I went down like a sack of spuds.....
Hope you are OK?
Probably better to claim on their insurance just to make them pay for it in raised premiums for the next few years!
Fine today - left knuckles badly swollen but full movement. Several bruises.
Even if I could claim I would try to avoid it - just because of paperwork.
And my shrink would not approve. The guy did not do it deliberately. He looked shocked and upset. Shrink says I have to be more understanding, less harsh on others and myself. It has done me alot of good these last 6 months.
Interesting that what my shrink recommends in basically same as Christianity and other religions. Turn the other cheek. Its no wonder that religions still do well - their basic life philosophy is very useful.

You going to go to the doc about your hand?
