"Hedfix gets his head fixed"

Yes indeedy, I had a small accident when I cycled into town to get myself a copy of Dredd Vs Death. I managed to misjudge crossing the road on my bike and got hit by a car.

I don't actually remember getting hit, I remember setting off across the road and then I remember somebody saying something about 'getting a neckbrace'. I don't remember the trip in the ambulance I remember being in A&E.

I ended up being very lucky. I only cut open the left side of my nose and broke a few bones/cartiledge in my nose (but not the main centre). One of my eyes closed up but that's alright now. I still have very swollen lips though.

So I got lucky, no neck damage, no brain damage and I've still got all my teeth.

I stopped the car with my nose. :)

Now let me impress something upon you lot: I would not have been anywhere near as lucky if I had not been WEARING A HELMET. So to all those who think they look a bit odd/sad/uncool/whatever I have to say that it's a lot better than being dead or brain damaged or having to have all your future meals through a tube.

Surprisingly thought it hasn't been that painful, I actually felt more pain when I fell and took my half of my nail off when I was still at school. I think it must've been the shock but I haven't had any pain from my nose apart from when they took the packing out of my nostrils. That was like when you get that sting from getting hit in the face with a football except the sting lasts for about 3/5 seconds instead of 0.2 or whatever. Not nice but still preferwable to when I ripped half of my nail off. :S

So I've spent two and a half days in a ward surrounded by the old and infirm. It was an interesting experience and quite a "Wake up call", I was saying to myself: I shouldn't be here at my age. So luckily there's a cycle-only track to town and elsewhere and I'm going to use this from now on. This accident was my fault but I can count loads of times when drivers simply haven't seen me or have been lazy in overtaking me and pulled back in far too early or have overtaken me just before braking (likes a bikes brakes are as good a cars!) etc etc.

So I'm staying off the road because it's, well, a bit too full of stupid drivers (me included).

So anyway that's where I've been over the weekend.

No.

I didn't see the car coming So I think I was very relaxed when it hit me and I think that had something to do with me getting off so lightly. If I'd have seen the car then mabye I'd have had the 'life flash' thing.

So is the 'life flash thing' actually true?

Also is it true that if you die in a dream, then you are dead? Or is that just som sh!te people have told gullable little me?

Probably you being gullable! Have you never died in a dream? You don't die when you die in a dream.

I don't know. I never really remember my dreams apart from a few that stand out. Lol yep i thought it probably was.

Good to see your ok.

Yeah, I wake up when I die in dreams.

You got it right first time, didn't you? Cool and dead would be the same option, it's cool + dead or uncool + alive. Yep.

Glad to hear your moderatly ok Hedfix.

Must of been a scary experiance waking up in A & E wondering whats going on. Is your nose encased in a plaster?

See maybe i am right. They said that you never actually die, you wake up just before you are about to...
