Damn!! The worst thing about an injury is not being able to ride! You're so bummed out and a great ride would cheer you up but... NOOOOOO!
Sorry to hear about your non-bike-related fall that's keeping you off your bike. Just be glad that it's a minor injury and that you'll be riding again soon!

ah man... what a bummer... I do stuff like that too... I'm so active doing so many things that there's always something messed up...
hope the knee is feeling better soon...There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

AutumnBreeze - if you have a hole in your knee, you might have a puncture wound, not just a cut. Its important to keep those draining, if you dont they can abcess and get very ugly. Also if you have ANY pain inside the joint itself, get thee butt to a doctor. I had a puncture wound in my right knee a few years ago that got into the joint and got infected, I was down for a month and it was hell.
Hope your back on your wheels soon."Do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda

Thank you all!!!
Thank you, It does stink that it is not a bike related fall, yet thankful that it wasn't cause that could mean injury to my sweet ride, that would bum me more to have it hurt too. Anyway, I really appreciate the advice and will take it. I am concerned about the puncture part more then the scar issues. I do have some pain, but don't know what part in there is making me cringe and grind my teeth every so often. Don't know if it is the joint or not.

Sorry to hear of the fall. I'd ride as soon as the swelling is down.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{AB}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry hun! It's one thing to take some time off coz you Want to....another coz you Have to! Sending healing wishes your way my friend!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Owwie!!
I agree with the advice "get thy butt to a Dr" if things don't improve quickly. If you are cringing and clenching your teeth, there could be more wrong than just some scrapes and bruising. You want to make sure you didn't tear a ligament or a meniscus or fracture the kneecap. There are alot of important structures in there that you don't want to mess around with if you want to keep riding.
Good Luck - Keep us posted
