Ouch, Glad you mending..
Hope you heal up all good.
I have definately changed my views recently about wearing protective gear all the time.
Not so long ago I had a stumble at about 10 mph and hurt myself, a month off work because I couldn't walk. I was wearing offroad boots and lots of pads in jacket and trousers. Boots more than likely stopped me breaking my ankle.
I only skimp on the clothing when abroad and it's hot. But thinking about it, the last thing I need is to end up in hospital on holiday
