i tripped and absolutely ate shit in the middle of a full shift (i work at a call center). hit the floor with my elbow and knee and my elbow is pretty smashed up, the range of motion is from about 15 degrees from straight to about 90 degrees. i'm icing it now. got a monster bruise coming up on my knee, too. husband kissed them both, but i don't know they had the same potency as mommy kisses.
already let my boss know and did a write up on it before i left, i'm pretty sure i'm going to have to go have someone look at it tomorrow.
my pride is probably the worst off but i'm irritated because i just started a tai chi class and i think i'm going to have to miss my class this saturday >_<
poor me

I got into a knock down drag out with a mesquite bush this morning. Needed to tighten up a little section of corral but first I thought I would just prune back this bush that had kind of resprouted from a year or two ago that was in the way. JEEBUS, ended up taking like and 2 HOURS to get it untangled and cut and hauled off - plus stuck by the extra long thorns that happen with regrowth...still didn't finish the fence either I was all hot and sweaty and poked so I said EFF it I will finish it this evening. oops, it was so hot this afternoon I decided to water the plants and yard (and me) instead and never went back to finish the job. Maybe manana.

Sorry you were injured fizzgig, hopefully it's just some bruising. Keep icing and elevating. Get well soon.
