Teh Suckz Thread

[Trethowan]

we have a Palmetto street near campus in Chattanooga. I think it was named after the roaches that infest downtown. (joking.)

Wah, I have a suckz thread entry: I broke my elbow!!!! *boo hiss* I keep sneaking my arm up onto the desk to type but can only manage a few sentences before I have to let the sling back down. I fell down a slippery flight of stairs in the rain, cracked my head, elbow, and rolled onto the sidewalk with all the grace of a beached whale. Four hours in the E.R. and three x-rays later revealed a hairline fracture. I'm to keep it in a sling for a week or so, and will go back for an evaluation of my joint in a weeks' time. In the meantime, no typing (means no working on my book?? I think I'll cheat) and no driving. I have a stack of books to read, I can get that taken care of. Woo!!

I am very grateful though, it could have been so much worse. I have no concussion from my head whacking the stairs, and a hairline is far better than a solid break. I woke up in my own bed, I wasn't waiting for surgery the next morning. It worked out well. Much better than it could have been.

And for a suck: My whole family right now. I'm really PO'ed at the whole bunch for being insensitive and asses. At least my hubby and his mother are here for me.

ack, if you want to talk about it, what happened?

ouchies Maybe you could get dictational software. Oh the typos with those are sooo much fun. I hear there are some good accurate ones though that get to know your voice. But reading or other recreational activities are just as good!

I'm surprised it only took 4 hours for them to diagnose you. Here we'd be waiting in the emergency room for like 6-8 hours at least before any kind of test results start to come back :/ Here, if you have to go to the emergency room, plan to be there for the next 12 hours, no matter what it is.

Ouch Trethowan!! I can't believe you're still stubborn enough to type here with a broken elbow..!

i wuvs you all so much! hehe.. i can hunt and peck at 20wpm. hahaha... kidding.

gah! 12 hours??? that is crazy. i think i might have been benefited by triage, they moved me ahead of the folks who treat the er like a walk in clinic.

Omg Treth
falling like that is traumatic! I hope you heal quickly

[famedglory]

Oh Treth I'm sorry you got hurt but thank goodness it wasn't more serious. I bet the fact that you also hit your head helped with getting through the ER faster. Every time I've gone it's been a minimum of six hours if they weren't really busy. Except for the time I stab my hand by accident. They also serve you faster if you're bleeding profusely. That time they had me stitched up and checked out in two hours.

My husband and I were joking that I should have poured red corn syrup all over my head. My dad said I should tape a chicken bone to my elbow. hahahahahaha

[knittnkitten]

you should drink alot of bone broth! it's supposed to make your bones heal better. and the collegen is supposed to make your hair and skin nice. (prolly not but bone broth is tasty)

T__T I can't take pictures anymore.

Well, I can take them, but I can't put them on my computer. Because, of course, when my mother switched cell phone service, she switched from one of the worst ones to another one of the worst ones instead moving to a GOOD one... I hate my new phone... and now I need to get a digital camera.
