..at the risk of some readers thinking I'm milking it...
...very stiff today. Still pretty sure the shoulder is just deep bruising. No limited mobility, but it hurts (when the wind is in the West).
Everywhere else, I have bruises on bruises. There's a lot of pointy bits on a bike, and I think I must have hit most of them, just for good effect after exhausting those on the terrain.
The worst bit is the knee, which, with a tight dressing on is not pleasant to bend, though once in any new position, it ceases to hurt. Drove the Smart today with absolutely no issues, except getting in and out. It isn't helped by the fact that the thigh above the affected knee has now developed very deep bruising.
It'll be a while before I'm on a bike again (that one wants fettling anyway, with the parts on order from Deutschland - that could be a bit of a Customs shock!), the better news is that I am still mobile, can still walk a bit faster than SWMBO (but not a lot now), and it isn't inhibiting the housework (if that can be seen as better news).
..and, though I doubted I would, I got off to sleep last night ok.
(re: the comment on reversing the brakes. I posted some time ago about being told mine were the wrong way round in Germany. One part I have on order is a hydraulic brake lever, which took rather more than cosmetic damage. It's the left (rear) one, but I've had to order a "front" one from Germany due to that reversal. (It is listed in the detail as left, though)).
