OUCH OUCH OUCH...no laughing

It was NOT funny.  I decided to ride my bike to the farmer's market this morning.... and, among other things I bought a small watermelon.  I put it in my bike basket and put the rest in my backpack.  I got all the way home....went to stop at the curb, the watermelon shifted, the handlebars went sideways and down I went.  After I untangled myself from my bike, I was trying to get my watermelon picked up, and I couldn't....I also noticed it was getting covered in blood.  oops. I had put my elbow out to break my fall and it hit the concrete.....big time.  I have a hole the size of a quarter in it and it's turning black and blue and hurts like a S.O.B.  Doug doesn't think it's broken....but if it doesn't stop hurting soon....I'm off to the ER.  **** and double **** Another day in the life of an old fart whiner.  Trying not to use this as an excuse to treat myself..... Later Charlie

Oh dear, I'm sorry!  I knew there was a reason I haven't ridden my bike yet.  I bought a helmet and everything, but haven't been brave enough.  Hope you heal fast.  The watermelon didn't splatter???  I guess that's one good thing.

Ouch! Poor you! I hope it's not broken. You're better than me, I fall down just thinking of riding a bike! between my low blood pressure, vertigo and well, just general lightheadedness LOL....I'm not too steady on my feet, much less a bike! Feel better soon!

Watermelon must be your bad omen....if I recall it was an incident with a watermelon and a blender than left you with pink ceiling? Put Doug on watermelon duty from now on. Make sure you washed that wound and put some neosporin on it.

Hey...no watermelon on the ceiling....OR the sidewalk.  Just blood....I'm better....the pain is easing up.... Thanks all *****sponded.....just chillin' now and watching tv... Hugs Charlie

Ahhhhhhhhhh the world of old farts of which I am a proud member (lol) - I had my bump on the head a few weeks ago when I was attacked by the geese - jeez louise - does it get better?  Please, please please do take care of that elbow AND DON'T SIT HOME ON IT - YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! - I thought you were going to say the watermelon fell out the basket and rolled down the road while you chased it - not that it would shift and knock you off the bike - ouch, OUCH, ouuuchhhh- FEEL BETTA SOON SISTA AND KEEP US POSTED!!!!

Just the watermelon??  Are you sure there was no martini involved?? lol.

You remembered tha****ermelon martini I had the other night.....nah no martini..........blonde. Hugs Charlie

ouchie ouch! I hope it's not broken! Feel better soon!

I love it, old fart whiner, that's what I call my DH!!  You know you're an old fart when the watermelon comes out unscathed and you're the one who is broken...hehehe...sorry I couldn't resist. Hope the elbow is better soon. Look on the bright side, at least it sounds like an excuse not to cook dinner.
