Stumbled and fell while hiking with my dh on Friday. Broke my glasses, skinned my hands, and opened a gash in one eyebrow. I was quite a sight hiking back to the car! Now sport 5 stitches in my eyebrow and a swollen black eye.
Anyone know how long it takes for the swelling to go down? I actually don't mind the black eye as much as I do the swelling that interferes with vision. Plus I need to get in for a vision exam before getting the new eyeglasses.
Edit: Should add that everyone at the ER was great! I looked really bad walking in, so the ER doc came running out for a closer look, asking what happened. I told her I fell while hiking, and it made me feel old and stupid. She retorted "Well, at least you can still *feel* old and stupid!" :-D Of course, she looked like a well-preserved 30-year-old. Plus, she's a doctor! :lol: :lol: :lol:
