I took a pretty heavy fall on my morning run today, tripping over a rock I have run past hundreds of times. 

Possibly broken a couple of fingers on my right (main) hand, taken skin off both sides of my right hand (how), skinned both elbows quite badly, skinned the palm of my left hand, gashed left leg, skinned right leg, bruised from chest to ankles. I kept my head up so am fine there.

So a split second lapse of concentration means there's no way I can fasten a bra or put a pair of tights on, never mind walk in heels.

I was actually thinking through today's outfit - now a pair of shorts and loose rugby shirt instead of a pretty dress.

What other daft things has anyone done which ruined a day en-femme?

Oh no, Anna, what a start to the year! I wish you a speedy recovery from the damage and an early return to wearing nice things.

I'm happy to report no injuries following my morning, midday and now afternoon loaf about.

The daft thing I did yesterday was to tell my younger daughter that her mum and I would be staying in to see in the new year and of course she could pop in. Even as I said it, I'm thinking, "But I wanted to toast the new year in full glam".

Just to rub salt in the wound (pun recognised but not intended), she was a no-show! 

Nowhere near as traumatic as your misfortune but everything is relative.

@annaredhead Oh gosh Anna, I hope you recover fast. 

Suggestion , with my arthritis I can't fastin a bra when it is on,so I fastin it first then pull it over my head. Also wearing most heels are out of the question so I wear a lot of cute flats. 

The most as far as incidents is cutting myself while shaving.

@annaredhead Oh gosh Anna. How awful for you girl. Do you need to be checked out? A time consuming business in the UK unfortunately. Dangerous business this exercising malarkey. I had a week en femme ruined by life back in May last year but I've never had a catastrophe like this. Sending healing hugs.

Chrissie xx.

@chrisfp99 I'll see how I feel tomorrow, thanks. The beauty of living in the sticks is our walk-in centre is always empty.

@annaredhead Heavens, where is it? I would drive to a walk-in centre like that! If I want my GP, I have to fill in a triage form on the internet and wait for a telephone appointment which—in my worst case to date—comes six weeks later!

@rebeccabaxter I only ever tend to go in with whatever stupid injury I have managed to pick up doing something daft and always tend to get seen straight away.

@annaredhead I hope you will be OK, Anna! Not the greatest way to start a new year.

Falls can be tricky. When in my early 20s, I fell after running over a fellow bicycle racer during a race. I didn't know that I had broken a wrist bone until a few years ago. I tripped while walking a dog and when pain started to get worse, I got an X-ray done on my shoulder. Nothing.

Be safe, get checked.

@annaredhead Hi Anna

So sorry to read about your fall. The weather hasn’t been kind to us UK girls in the last couple of days. I am sending my love and hugs for a speedy recovery when you can fasten that bra and pull up a pair of tights.

I ran late to meet up with two girlfriends and ex colleagues. Had all my stuff with me but had to abandon going out with them dressed. Still regret it but always hopeful for another opportunity.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hugs,

Samantha x x

@annaredhead so sorry that you took a fall!  I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I pulled my shoulder a couple of months ago which made it very difficult to put on my breastplate or bra.  It hurt for about 8 weeks which made it impossible to dress during that time.  I understand your frustration.

@annaredhead Ouch!

That sounds like one heck of a tumble, Anna! It's been said before, but what a horrid way to start New Year! You have my deepest sympathies.

On the brighter side, just think how good it will feel when you finally get your girl back on and slip into that first pair of silky tights for the first time in ages. I find that enforced periods of 'blokedom' are almost worth it.

I can't compete with anything as dramatic as that, apart from the time many years ago when I was back living at my parents' and they went to Australia for six weeks so naturally I was making the most of lots of uninterrupted girl time. One day I managed to catch my rather high heel coming down the stairs and tumbled all the way down... fortunately the only injury was a bruised ego and my favourite, beautifully flattering and perfect-fitting mid-thigh, black pencil skirt which ripped from hem to waistband. It could have been a lot worse... but I miss that skirt still 😉

All the best Anna, I hope you get well very soon 🥰

@annaredhead Anna,  I am so sorry that you suffered these injuries! It sounds really terrible. I pray that you will be fully healed ASAP and that there are no long term issues. 

Selfishly, I will miss seeing your photos which always brighten my day. I hope you maintain your presence on CDH. Your kind words of encouragement are always welcome. I will also need follow on Btit-speak training.

Please take good care of yourself, sister.  I look forward to fresh photos from.you before too long. Is there anything any of us can do to help?

Love and hugs,

Penelope

@fabulous1 Thanks Penelope.

I really ache today, feeling a bit sorry for myself and the bruising is still coming out. Thankfully no facial or head damage so I think a week or so of healing and resting will do it. I can flex elbows and knees now which I couldn't when I got up this morning.

As a runner, falling and getting smashed up is an occupational hazard. Tripping and landing hard on a nasty surface means a lot of cuts and bruises - the surface I was running on is disused copper mine workings so mine spoil, sharp rocks, gravel etc Added to that a lot of mud so cleaning up wasn't so easy.

I think my left knee will scar badly (it's gashed on top of an old scar).

Good going on the Brit-speak and starting with the rude words,

Hugs,

Anna xx

I'm so sorry to hear this Anna.  Fractured fingers are always particularly painful and limiting.  I hope it isn't the actual case for you.  I had a similar experience a few months ago where I tripped over a tree root and went face first into the tree.   I banged myself up pretty good and it curtailed much of my activities for a few weeks until I healed.   I hope you have a quick recovery and can get back into action very soon!

Sorry to hear of your injuries, heal quickly. I have never had an injury while running en femme, but I have run en femme only a few times. But, I have crashed and burned a few times while running. The worse was when I got to close to a barbedwire fence which snaged my shirt. I got yp looking like I was attacked by a leopard...I still have a 4" scar on my bicep.

 

Women do not stop dressing when injured, they just adapt, and so can you. Just find things in your wardrobe that you can wear.

Really sorry to hear about your injuries Anna. Let’s hope those fingers are just sprained rather than fractured.

Hi Anna so sorry to hear about your mishap, I've not dressed since i had my makeover and it will be awhile before i get the chance again, besides that I've not really had any bad mishaps to stop me dressing, 

Maybe you could hire a maid to help with your dressing up, lol, I hope you don't think I'm laughing at you it's not very funny being in pain, 

Love and good wishes for the new year Anna, 

Love Roz ❤️

I hope that you have a good recovery Anna. One incident I do recall was getting myself ready for a trip out when by chance I my diary and realised I had an appointment elsewhere which meant a rapid change and out the door to be there on time.

Sorry to hear about your injuries. This is not what the insurance company means when they say "Get a piece of the rock."

A number of years ago my (then spouse now ex) told me something that had me seething. It was just starting to get dark and I just had to get out of the house before I blew up.

It was just starting to get dark when I went out for a walk, and was dark before i got home. There are no sidewalks over most of the walk. I was almost home when I passed a church. I stepped down off the grass to the driveway, but didn't see the curb on the other end. I tripped and fell over.

I was a little bloody, a little bit scraped. But when I got home and cleaned up, I found I also gave myself a black eye.

Now I wasn't planning on doing anything en femme, but for the next two weeks I glad I knew a little bit about makeup and had makeup that matched my skin tone, because I was putting on enough to minimize the black eye. I was wearing glasses at the time so that also helped to hide it. For the first week I even brought some makeup to work to touch it up during the day.

Another time I went out to the car to warm it up. There was freezing rain overnight. I didn't realize that the top of my steps (only 6 thankfully) was black ice. I slipped and fell down the steps, and ended up bleeding and hurting on my left hand (I'm a righty). I immediately took off my wedding ring, figuring it would swell. That was a wise decision. My finger hurt for a long time afterwards, and I was never able to get the ring back on. Even today the lower joint feels swolen. In retrospect I probably broke it and the swelling is the extra bone the body puts on a broken joint. So now my left hand needs a larger ring size than my left to get over this joint.

Hi Anna!

I hope your fingers aren't broken and you recover quick!

At the end of last winter I was drab power walking and slipped on a muddy patch. I went down on the street and bashed my forehead. Managed to bruise my right arm and knee pretty good. The head slap on the pavement made me so dizzy I called my wife to come and get me. We went to urgent care where the doctor glued my gashed  forehead closed. I had a mild concussion but at least I didn't need stitches. The arm and shoulder were sore enough I didn't want to attempt putting a bra on for about a week.

Happy New Year!

Hugs,

Autumn

So sorry to hear about your mishap, hopefully your bad luck has been used for the year.

Please be sure to get checked out, sometimes injuries are worse then we think they are.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and return to dressing.
