Sep. 4th, 2007 04:19 pmIt's that time of year again obviously when those and those who live with me decide to do random things to themselves - accidentally I might add, although the frequency of injuries does lead me to suspect on occasions that some other random force is not at work here.
In recent weeks, I have managed to gouge a chunk of skin off my lip whilst taking a catch at cricket, and yesterday, whilst trying to be clever and walk my bike down some stairs whilst still straddling the frame, I slipped and went downwards at speed..... my bike stayed resolutely upright, and now the base of my spine really rather smarts when I stand up from a sitting position.
But it's not just affecting me. My beloved other half we all know is slightly injury-prone, but I did not expect the cat to join in with the fun, but lo and behold we have noticed that he has lost one of his fangs! Admitteldly, it was the one that had a chip in the bottom, and was rather discoloured, but it was rather a shock yesterday to notice that it was actually missing. Closer inspection has revealed a small part of fang left in the gum - so it obviously snapped off somewhen - but so far, he hasn't seemed to bat an eyelid. Vet has pronounced him ok, if he isn't showing signs of pain or swelling, so no need to take him in.
