Question: I am a 55 year old female triathlete. Sunday while exercising with a spri thick elastic jump rope doing standing bicep curls with it attached to a door, the rope broke and I was propelled backward down XXXXXXX steps, landing first on my left buttock (pisiform is region), then very quickly impacted my left shoulder and the upper left back of my head. No concussion, but I have 6 staples there from a laceration. Not much swelling there. i do have severe brushing and swelling on my buttock, though today the swelling has abated a bit to the point where the skin is no longer tight like a drum. I am able to sleep, and have not had to take any kind of painkillers at all. I can squat without pain, though bending is somewhat uncomfortable due to the tightness and swelling. Sitting is doable.
My question is while I realize I probably shouldn't run until the staples are removed, and not do any heavy, strenuous lifting over over exert myself until that wound is healed, how long, absent any unknown injury, before you feel it might be safe before I try a slow jog? Or would a bike ride be better to start out with? I do not want to do anything to jeopardize a full recovery. Thank you for your help.

Any suggestions in the meantime what to do, not do, to sipped the healing process?
Thank you for a your assistance.
