My colleagues call me Mrs Bean . I'm always
knocking something , tripping and falling down.
We have a drawer in the workplace and i had to resort to
placing child safety corners . I had tore my shirt, knocked my legs twice
against a particular drawer. This is what i call injury upon injury ( blue
black on top of a blue black Note a blue black is a bruise)I just went to Eastern Europe in April . We went to places like Prague, Salzburg ,Vienna, Budapest, Poland, Berlin, Dubai . We experienced Spring, Summer , Winter in 16 days !
One sunny day in Budapest (Day 4), we visited the town hall, the quaint village and some tourist attractions. After much fun and photo taking, we returned to the bus and on to our next destination. Kasey and i crossed the road ( NOte, we walked, not run and i wasn't playing around with my phone or camera) and all of a sudden, i felt myself falling forward. I pride myself as someone with a good sense of balance, due to the various sports activities that i participated and on many occasions, able to fall correctly, ie breaking the fall with hands or knees but this time, the force of the fall is just too strong, i couldn't break the fall ! IT's just URGH and i fell ! Luckily, ny hands were fast enough blocked the fall slightly . But i knocked my forehead against the curb of the road. i reckon Kasey , who was next to me witnessed the whole incident and heard the loud bump . i actually fell 90 degrees and was flat on the road, with the face down the road, my forehead on the curb. i guess i tripped over a uneven part of the road, you know, the roads and path in Europe are mostly cobbled
Of course, you can imagine the commotion later, "Janice Fell! "Where ?? "'How's your head"?" "Any dizzyness ? Any vomit ? "Can you rememeber your name ?"Any blackout ? ""Can you count how many fingers"" "Someone get the Ice ""No ice !! HOW ?""get something from the fridge in the bus !!"
Okay, no ice, so someone got a cold can of beer from the bus fridge and placed against my forehead , to prevent more bruises . i held it againt my forehead for the next couple of hours. @Tony Goh took a pixcture of me and the beer, so could you please send to me ?
I had a pretty quiet day after that fall. While the rest of the gang went shopping , i had a bit of rest at the cafe.
My head felt sore and my skin over the forehead stretched the next couple of days and i the first day i looked like the 福禄寿. For those who dont' know pls goggle this :P
On day 3 after the fall , at Krakow , Poland, after a nice day in the snow at the town hall, we went to a cafe for some coffee and hot drinks when Kasey suddenly said ""Hey, what happened to your nose !!!??? .. Ít's all swollen !!!! i flipped my mirror and yes, indeed, my nose swelled and the eyes are now stretched wide. The area around the top of the nose felt soft . oh dear, what happened was, due to the blood flow and gravity, the bruise has moved down from the forehead to the bridge of nose and then to the eyes ! i wanted to see a doctor but was told this is normal , ( from a experienced person with a naughty childhood, apparently he has fallen and fought many times in his teens and he's a expert and bruises and such).
In the next few days , my nose was swollen and my eyes , on top of the normal dark eye rings, has the blue black . i suddenly look like someone who was boxed and punched in the face.
I wore sunglasses everywhere the next few days and ok, the bruise subsided after a few days and i saw the doctor went i reached home and he certified that i dont need any x rays and i'm all ok..
hmm hmm, much happenings in my recent trips....
