Hi, I'm pretty upset today. Last night I tripped and fell and landed on my face. Thankfully I didn't mess up any teeth, but I broke my nose (minor fracture), hurt my lip and have pretty bad like, road rash I guess, between my upper lip and my nose. (I don't want to post a photo.)
I was taking my dogs out to do their business, twisted my ankle and just fell. Since I had a leash in each hand, I wasn't able to break my fall. We went to the emergency room last night and were there for 5 hours. Thankfully, I didn't need any stitches.
Anyway, apart from just posting to vent and work through my feelings a bit, I was hoping someone could give me advice about helping my face heal as fast as possible. One person recommended vitamin E and/or Neosporin. Any other tips? Thanks! (FH left the after-care instructions with our ride, so I haven't been able to read them yet. I should get them later today.)
And, my hair trial was supposed to be today. Obviously I'm cancelling. It sucks that I'll still have to pay for it, but I understand why. The fact that my injuries could have been a lot worse is about the only thing keeping me from just sitting here and crying. Thanks again for any advice.
