Viciously attacked by a sidewalk!
Walking home from the bus yesterday, I tripped over a broken place in the sidewalk. I took a really bad spill; I skinned my knees and chin (and, mysteriously, my right breast!) and hurt my arm. The arm hurt badly enough that I ended up asking digitalpoetry to come home early to take me over to Mt. Auburn. After a long wait in the emergency room, it turns out I broke my elbow and sprained my wrist. I'm in a fair bit of pain, and a sling. (Thankfully I have pain meds; my apologies if those make this a bit incoherent.) Figures that the first time I ever break a bone is over some silly thing like tripping on the sidewalk.
Mostly I just hating the fact that I'm stuck not being able to move much while this heals. The whole dang arm hurts, as I landed palms-down an that stressed the whole arm, plus th weight of my arm in a sling is messing up my shoulder. It's supposed to heal fairly quickly because the bone involved isn't generally weight-bearing, or somesuch. It's starting to feel better already, but that may be medication.
So yeah, if you have plans with me in the next week we may have to reschedule depending on how soon this heals. We'll play it by ear. It's a bit tacky to say this in an LJ post, but I'm groggy from the meds and from hurting so long so I didn't quite feel up to making a bunch of calls right away.
Blergh. Just sitting up at the computer is a bit much. I go fall (gently) over now. Owie.
