Nope, not gonna sue anyone. Couldn't if I wanted to, which I don't. I don't remember enough of what happened after I hit the curb. Definitely a crash while trying to save myself from worse injury. Sue the city for the curb? Hmmmmmm, no, not that either. As for a good lawyer, I'm married to one and he didn't suggest any such thing, so I can let it go. What happened stinks, but it's a chance any cyclist takes just by being out there, at least IMHO.

I checked out the Brave Soldier website. I think I belong on there! I look quite a bit worse than some of them. The woman with the totally raw lower side of her face? There you go........ that's the closest to what I look like, but she is a bit worse.

I haven't tried the Tegaderm yet but have read loads of good things about it. I go to see my regular physician tomorrow. I want to hear what he says before I try anything on my own. I plan on buying some tegaderm and giving it a try. I don't know how well it will stay on a face, but I guess I'll find out. I will keep you posted.........

Thanks again for all the concern and helpful advice.
