realsorienDon't worry, this isn't terribly angsty, just a bit... Hm. Dunno the right wrod for it, but this isn't angst.
Last night I went into work as usual, and as things went it was a fairly normal night- quiet and dull. As is my wont, I was online talking with folks until 12:45, when I have to call in to the office for a 'base check', so that they know I'm alive, awake and whatnot.
All was fine, until about 1:20, when I got up to go on a round- Or so I thought.
I'm not sure how, but I slipped or tripped and fell, catching myself with one hand on the chair... It didn't hold still, and something gave- with a LOT of pain. So much, I started to grey out. I looked at my hand, and saw a large swelling and abrasions...
As the greyout did NOT pass, I dialed 911, and got paramedics- I was transported to Fairview Southdale Hospital, and long story short, I broke my hand, the Left one.
I'm left handed.
Specifically, I broke the 4th & 5th metacarpals. So, I have a brace and sling, a prescription for vicodin, and a VERY hard time doing a lot of things.
Expect me to be online less in the near future. Bleah. But, c'est la vie. With just a little luck, workman's comp will cover this.
