Instinctively I pulled her in close to my chest to protect her thereby massively accelerating my face straight into the upcoming wall.

Cue one totally smashed nose, lots of blood everywhere and a trip to casualty.

Took me months to get over - had to have the cartilidge rebuilt eventually and it's never been straightened properly either.

Nearly dislocated little pinkie of my right hand.

Will be without full use of right hand for a few days. Hope I can still fire up the mower, got a wicket to mow tomorrow.
