I fell in the garden about an hour ago

The left side of my face is battered - I've possibly broken my left cheek bone judging from the swelling , various other scratches and scrapes and of course my glasses are broken

Optician is shut because of the lockdown and I don't have a copy of my prescription though I do have my Sunglasses [ same prescription ]

Could do with some prayers please

Oh dear Lord.

Lord have mercy! You certainly have my prayers Anhelyna, and I hope nothing is broken aside from your glasses.

I don't mean to worry you, but you may well want to visit the emergency room if you have broken bones. That's not something to leave unattended :(

Even allowing for a swollen cheek bone [ and the bruising is becoming evident now ] I doubt if anything could be done

In myself I feel fine , my vision is OK - I've no headache , I'm not dizzy and indeed I'm not in pain though my cheek is a bit stiff and sore.

Everything else works as it should AND I've even managed to find my last pair of 'ordinary - i.e. not dark ] glasses and they have gone on without a problem so the swelling can't be that bad.

I'll be glad when the various scrapes have dried up.

Your prayers are very much appreciated - thank you all

Oh, no! So sorry this happened, Anhelyna. Prayers for healing and that the optician opens in the coming weeks.

Absolutely no signs of concussion - no headache , I'm not dizzy, wasn't confused when it happened , minimal discomfort - and what I have is not needing any analgesia.

Apart from my broken glasses [ which will be expensive to replace] the worst thing is the bruising under my eye. I've had a piccie taken and believe me - it's scary :(

Prayers for a speed recovery.

One thing that did change during the COVID-19 shutdown is that more insurance companies are covering teladoc services. Obviously, it's not as good as having an in-person exam, but you can at least have someone look at it and check symptoms. Check your insurance policy and see what's available.

Remember folk - I'm in the UK - things are different here.

I've enough knowledge [I'm a retired RN ] to know in this case what I'm doing.

I've been absolutely fine this afternoon - been talking and behaving as normal - no dizziness , no headache , no visual problems and I've had my evening meal.

OK - I've a nice bruise under my eye - the swelling is virtually all gone , and I think that most of the damage was caused by my glasses :)

I'm just going to take life quietly , and wait for the bruising to settle down [ it's spectacular :D ]

To all - thank you for your prayers - I feel a right idiot after this accident

Don't feel too bad as we all have things like this happen now and then. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, and no concussion/broken bones.

Lord have mercy!
My wife had something similar happen a couple of days before flying from Sydney to L.A. to visit our daughter. In her case she did fracture the bone above her eye socket. Its not obvious but she can still feel it and it gives her grief from time to time. I hope your cheekbone is not fractured as we olde fartes don't heal like we used to.
Do you have oil from any saints? Can you request some be sent to you? Otherwise I would make a cross on your cheek with oil from your vigil lamp.

Oh Lotd have mercy! I’m just seeing this. I hope you feel much better and I’m so glad you can assure yourself it’s nothing more serious. I’m sorry about your glasses, and the nasty bruise. I hope it’s not painful.

Prayers!!!!

For me it was a great help at this particular time - I'm safer at home rather than trying to go to A&E [ Emergency ] particularly as my glasses are broken so driving would have been a BIG problem
