From your description and not looking at any chart. Injury to face from slip and fall at home. If this were the description that was written in a report and given to me I would go 959.09 (Injusry to face and neck) I would steer towards E888.8 and not E885.0 as 885.0 is fall from a non-motorized scooter..
This is my interp only based upon what is written. I would consult with your inhouse coder for further clarification.

The E codes are usually secondary to the 9**.**
