Last evening (July 21, 2009) I was hit by fast moving bike. Apart from a swollen arm, I am ok. It could have been much worse if I had fallen on the hard asphalt and hit my head or something. But only my right arm was hurt and no bones were broken. And no bleeding either. There is a bit of internal clotting and of course swelling with a perfect purple bruise. I had dislocated the same arm three years back, in July 2006. It had mended nicely and when the bike hit me and I came out of the haze, my first worry was a fracture. My guardian angel must have been working over time. Yes, it is vey painful as of now, I cradle it gently but I am very happy to alive and thriving. With painkillers, sleep has managed to snare me into its fold. Thank my stars, for that!

Glad you're (mostly) unhurt. I spent time in hospital after coming off a motorbike 3 yers ago - I don't remember anything about it, or the period of 2-3 weeks after.
Please take care.
Saw this on FB. I'm so glad you are OK, to a degree. Hope all continues well.
Snare
Now you look after yourself.
take care and get better soon.
i have been hit twice by the flu lately and is feeling awful but i hope to start posting soon. :)
Slight damage beats tremendous damage.
And you wrote about it quite well.
oh, you poor thing!!
I'm glad to see you're still able to write! Get better!!
Glad it wasn't worse than it was, take care!
Good to hear you are not hurt badly! thankfully...
Hope you feel better soon
Rest your right arm and hope to see you back in action soon
Take care,
Take care Gautami and get well soon.
Oh goodness...this was written so seamlessly with the prompt words, but I'm just sorry that it had to be based on a real event. Ouch...I'm so glad you're going to be OK!
I'm sorry this happened to you, and glad your injuries are relatively minor. I was hit by a fast moving bike once and did fall on the hard asphalt, hitting my head. I had bad head injuries and still experience some consequences years later. I'm thankful nothing similar happened to you. ((Hugs))
Sure glad it wasn't any worse. Take care!
So ya will be armless for awhile huh?
Good luck and a quick recovery - sounds like a lousy evening, from my point of view.
Oh, take care and God Bless.
It will heal soon and you will be bewitching us with your wonderful writing again
I'm glad it wasn't worse, although it sounds bad enough. Sending you quick-healing thoughts!
Take care .. :)
Hi Gautami, so sorry to hear about your little mishap! But I can't help wondering about the damage you must have done to the bike, and the poor cyclist.
Get well soon!
<3
Oooo ouch my sympathy dear girl, take it easy and enjoy the painkillers ;)
Ouch! Painkillers are nice lol. I hope you get to feeling better, and great work with the word prompts.
I'm so sorry to hear about your arm. I hope you recover soon. I'm just glad you weren't seriously injured. This could have been much worse. At least you're seemingly in good spirits.
hope you'll recover quickly, but at last, you get to write this post - I like the line about sleep
Oh, oh, owww! I'm glad it was "only" a bad bump, a bruise. ;-(
Hi, get better soon. Take care.
Just cradle the swollen arm till there isn't any more swelling left.
take care dear
