slings & things
so i slipped at work thursday night.. scared the shit out of me but didn't seem too damaging at the time. three days later i find myself sitting in casualty at QEII hospital.. my entire left arm hurts like a mother!
xrays showed there's no break, which i kind of expected due to lack of bruising, but sheesh, it hurts more than when i did actually break my finger a few years back. anyways, i am now hooked up with sling, meds & workers compo forms for work so i can have the next coupla days off. if it doesn't ease up by the end of the week i have to go have an ultrasound to see if i've damaged the ligaments & tendons in my shoulder. for some reason they always wait to do those kinds of tests..
the freaky part is while i was waiting to be seen, i went into shock. i fully started shaking uncontrollably, was dizzy & light-headed.. my arm went numb & started turning blue. man, i was so out of it.. i kept blacking out for moments. marcus went to see if he could get someone, but they said there wasn't really anything they could do, so that was a fun half hour or so.
anyways, i'm freakin tired.. what with my happening day and sleep deprivation this week. argh, i got about 2 hours sleep last night.. g'night all
ps. bounty bars rock my socks
