Watch Out For The Ice!
Well I know I said I like cold weather…. But I didn’t want this to happen!
Yeah it could only happen to me!!!! Was going to mum's for Sunday breakfast, had only just locked the door and whoosh down head first! I landed on my arm. Got up and went back in my house in a lot of pain.
Called Mum and Dad came over and drove me to Casualty (ER to you guys) and luckily it was not busy, so I got seen pretty quickly by the triage nurse in there. I then had to wait for a proper check up which took about 40 minutes. Was finally called in, really nice nurse cannot fault her at all, very through check up from my shoulder to my wrist. It’s the part between my shoulder and elbow that’s painful. Because I could not rise my arm had to go for X-rays but again it was quick as it was quiet for a Sunday morning. All that took around 50 minutes then I had to sit in the waiting area again for the results.
I thought I'd broke it, thank god I've not, just really swollen and bruising now.... got to wear the sling for 2 - 3 days and take painkillers!!
My neighbour said oh you'll get sometime off work, I laughed and said I don't think they would appreciate that just had 5 weeks off!!!! So I will be going in tomorrow.... just having to type with one hand, and try and use mouse in my left hand as well!!! They’ll have to perhaps give me some paperwork to do tomorrow....
Hospital where great, thoroughly checked it over and did 3 x-rays, I can't praise them enough for there service! I won’t doubt the NHS again!
Well spent around 4 hours there in all, I am almost glad it happened early as when we left it was so busy in there, so many people today see to have arm and leg injuries. The ice is like glass outside you can’t see it!
The Ironic part… my mum phoned me up about 15 minutes before I did it to warn me when I come across to be careful as my dad had took there dog out and said it was really icy!!! I laughed and said I thought as much as when I was washing up, I saw Jill a neighbour walking really slow home and so guessed it was bad….
It could only happen to me!
