I’m guessing you’ve had a tumble! Wet leaves have been a problem on the roads for about a week or so here. On the bike I’ve been sticking to the main roads!
Sorry to hear this and hope you have a good recovery. I can tell you from experience- you won’t do it again!A tumble and a half. Throw in mild concussion, 48 hours later the headache has eased up. My face is bit of a mess. Looks like I have been a few rounds with Mike aTyson! Knees too. Such a simple thing, yet so caught unawares.

Tony are you referring to the traditional 6’4” low doorway badoinggg!? They only way I get caught out with that one now is when someone does the “no you first, I insist” as they distract your attention. I’ve had so much blunt head trauma, I’m certain I’m in for the associated dementia.For a while
I presume they switch the bloody radar off while your working on them? Otherwise your frontal lobes will be over cooked scrambled egg by now.Aft wet about 40 years of working on a variety of aircraft, I just don’t do that now. Built in radar?

I've spent lots of years in ski resorts (my parents ran a ski business) and the vast majority of injuries sustained by holidaymakers are from slipping up around town, and not to do with actually skiing. Ice or leaves makes little difference, the problem is that you tend to land on something very solid and hard, like a curb.
Hope the swelling goes down, sounds like you slipped forward by the sound of it which can be really nasty.
Better to fall forward than backwards: arms help. Not that either way is good.
