I broke my arm

Lelapin can give you the details cause I can't type very well. :(

I'm so sorry! :hug:

:hug:

Here's a hug!

:hug:

I've got a bad knot on the back of my head too

since you were in some sort of care, I assume you got checked for a concussion

I'm glad I've got a thick skull...

Poor kid! Get some major TLC and get some comfort food. Stay warm too.

:)



:hug:

:loveya:

and I'll be set. Just me and the cats.


:loveya:

I've got a Doris Day movie "Move Over Darling" recorded on m' Tivo. If only it would cool off here in LA. When I was a kid, when it would rain my mom would say "We need a good ol' Doris Day movie right now".

we could tear up some Ben and Jerry's and a whole lotta movies.

:)

the Lakehouse is a good movie. Feel better soon!:hug:

I loaned it to a friend and she hasn't returned it. :(

I really liked that movie. :)

best wishes for a full & speedy recovery.

:hug:

:hug: That stinks! I'm betting it has to do with the weather. :pals: I hope you get better soon.

I broke my arm when I was 11, and I remember the pain all too well. :(

;)

:hug:

A speedy recovery to you........:hug:

I hope it wasn't your dominant arm.......:scared:

radial head fracture

give up the details.

Please let your mom know we care for her.

:hug:

:(

We care for you
We hurt with you
We want you to heal

:*

:hug:

sorry...

:( :hug:

She sent me a PM, but that was about three hours ago. She must be out now. Hopefully, she'll be back soon. :hug:

That's just so... well... you.



:hug:



Metaphor...?

metaphor!

:)

I am terrified of black ice and the thought of falling on it and breaking something. Happily, the parking lot where I work has been heavily salted. At home, I park in the garage underneath the building so it is dry.

Take care.

What happened, sweetie????

Damn. And I'm at work.

SHIT.

I slipped and fell backwards. Cracked my arm and my head on the pavement

Ouch...

Damn, sweetie.

:(

:hug::hug:

Many gentle hugs on the *other* shoulder! :hug: :hug: :hug:

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery. :hug:

And drink a lot of milk! The calcium will help you heal faster.

That doesn't sound fun at all.

Take care of yourself and get well soon.

:hug:

and your avatar is to die for. Babs fan?

We were walking outside her office (also the place I work) and she slipped backwards on black ice and fell on her head and arm very hard. I was worried she'd hurt her head much worse than her arm, but saw there was no bleeding and she could sit up and stand without dizziness or other symptoms of something serious. She was alright driving (we figured me driving (as an inexperienced winter driver) in the crap Ohio has recently gotten would get us both into something worse). I asked her to call me when she got home, and a friend of hers took her to a minor emergency clinic where they confirmed the fracture.

Also... while I'd obviously much rather it hadn't happened at all, it happened on office property and therefore it's covered under worker's comp. :)

that'd takem me 1/2 the night to type

I'm going to bed

Keep your phone on okay??

:hug: Good night... :hug:

:scared:

For you and your ma:



OK, seriously now:



:hi:

That'd be nice... :D :P

:hug: Thank you... :hi:

:)

not necessarily.

Was it during work hours or was she going to her car and leaving work?

Depending on the company - and the insurance carriers - they *could* give you flack over it. But even it's not covered under WC - it could be covered under their liability insurance. (Though they'd be better off filing it under WC - which they CAN if they want. Although, the claims adjuster *could* deny it depending. . .)

If you have any questions, let me know - PM if you prefer. A lot depends on the details, etc. . .

and I'm an accountant. We work all kinds of hours. I was leaving for the day. Would it make a difference if I was just going to lunch?

The parking lot was wet during the day but just barely after sunset, it froze over in spots. The building doors are unlocked until 7:00pm.

My boss backed out on his agreement to get me medical insurance when I started. I also don't get a dime when I'm not there. He will not define vacation, sick leave, holidays, etc.

The receptionist at the emergency clinic heard my story and handed me a Workers' Comp form. I hope they come through. If not, I'm screwed, yet again.

Your boss sounds like a pill who'll give you a hard time no matter what. However, if he owns the property, he's better off letting it go the wc route.

If he doesn't own the property - the property owner is liable for injury incurred.

And technically, no, it's not worker's comp if you were leaving for the day. Worker's comp is for injury incurred during the course of your work.

BTW - Can you still work?

I can work but cannot pay the hundreds in medical bills since I have no insurance. I've been referred to an orthopod. If I have to pay the bill, I can't go.

If he lets it go as worker's comp - then you're possibly okay. Though the claims agent *could* still deny the claim if it's clear that you were done for the day and leaving the premises for purposes other than work-related.

If he refuses - or the claims agent does - then your only other recourse is a liability claim against the owner of the property.

Are you sure you weren't going to the POST OFFICE for your boss? Or going to get some paperwork out of the car?

I was taking another employee with me if that matters. (lelapin works there doing data entry)

"injured during the course of doing your job" (or anything else work-related) even if it's not necessarily part of your "job description".

Hopefully your boss will let it go but I didn't want you to go into it thinking it was clear sailing. And it *could* be - it just sounds like your boss is an @ss who'll dispute anything that might cost him a dime.

PM me if you want - I think we may be treading over the line on the 'DU advice clause'.

One other thing - get some health insurance. There are decent catastrophic policies out there that don't cost that much. Call a local independent insurance agent. ;) (I am not nor have I ever been an insurance agent. lol)

I've been turned down by 3 companies because I have had asthma since I was 3.

I need to work for a company that has a group policy.

:(

help ameliorate the costs - depends on the policy - and how severe the injury. But it's too late for that now. I suggest you talk to an independent agent about what your options are. There are policies and there are policies, ya know? Though yeah, you would be better off with a group policy.

for all your help.

:hug:

feel free to pm/email me anytime. I'm no expert, but I know a little something about it. :)

I hope you feel better soon - AND that all of it gets taken care of!

I'm going to put you on the same spanking cycle that I've got Rev-Acts on.
:spank::D

while it heals. :hug:

So sorry this happened to you!

Hope you're not in terrible pain. :hug:

I'm really glad you're OK. Just sucks when something like that happens -- by the time it's all over and done, you're still wondering if it's really happening to you.

Save your typing finger, don't respond till you're all settled and comfortable.

:hug:

:evilgrin:

:P

you get better soon. :hug:

Hope they gave you some good pain pills. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm allergic to everything except feathers and maple trees. I can't remember which pain meds don't cause a reaction and now's not the time to find out. Lots of advil and tylenol.

I will keep you in my thoughts and send you good wishes. I hope you're not in extreme pain.

here I am, hammered, and I read this.

what the *#%$^?

Lizzie, :hug:

dammit

I hope you heal quickly. Yikes black ice is the devil.

:hug:

David almost bit the dust on some ice last night.

We both hope you are back to 100% healthy soon.

:hug:

I'm so sorry this happened. I'll call you sometime saturday afternoon! :hug:

I hope you're not in a lot of pain.

dangit!!!

thats why I didn't hear from you in PM!! :(


aA
:loveya:

now I can't sleep

:(

What an awful night, :(

No way!

Have been keeping you in my thoughts.

Let me know when's a good time to call :hug: :loveya:

She fell on her arm in the car park at work. Broke her radius clean through. She didn't even realise she had done it. Went on and carried on her day. Only went to the hospital when she felt a funny sensation moving her fingers.

I am never going to mess with my mum. :wow:

I did't tell you! My sister became a british citizen on Valentine's Day! :bounce:

I'll put her on the same spanking program that I have Rev-Acts on as of this moment.
:spank::D

and working today. I'll see her next week sometime.

Thanks for looking out for me.

:)

:spank:

I'm noisily appealing to the fates to give you a fucking respite from bullshit. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I need it. :(

So far I've shaken my fist at the sky, bellowed oaths at the firmament and conjured demons. I'm hoping to avoid going the burnt offering route, as I only have access to so many virgins.

My sister's take on my feeble attempt to join the Ice Capades...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The judges have scored your performance as follows.

For presentation 5.0, 4.9, 4.8, 5.0.

For technical merit 4.0, 3.5, 4.5, 4.0.

Overall the performance was good with an excellent choice of musical accompaniment (Free Falling by Tom Petty and the heart breakers.) Points were clearly deducted for a fall when trying to land the triple toe loop. Triple toe loops will get you every time. Su, if I were you, I'd stick to the SOW COW.

Sorry to hear about your mishap. I hope it's not the hand you write with?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya:

I'm so, so very sorry to hear this. Hope you are OK and not in too much pain/discomfort and my thoughts, prayers, best wishes and positive vibes for a speedy and comprehensive recovery. I know what it's like to have a key part of your body incapacitated and am quite frankly amazed you are typing as much as you are. Give your arm as much rest as you can -not easy, I know.

Once again :hug: hug: :hug: :loveya: Lizziegrace. Hope everything is OK there

i am sorry. :( i am sending my bestest vibes your way; may you experience a speedy recovery with as little discomfort as is possible. :hug: take care of you. :hug: :loveya: :hug:

I had a rough night but of all the bones to fracture in my arm, this was the best one. It heals in a few weeks and because my elbow could freeze up, it's not put in a cast.

Everyday tasks are a challenge, but that's to be expected.

:hug:

I hope you are not in any pain. I know it's gotta be a huge hassle, hope it's not too bad.

:hug::hug::hug::hug:

fractured arm beats a head injury any day!

Could you email the name of that book again? (Headhunter something?)

Thanks!!

:hug:

Check your pm for amazon link. :hug:

Time to take control back.

:hug:

I hope the healing process goes fast.
:hug: :loveya:

:(

In sunny mexico where i am until next thursday.
I'd dull your pain with tropical drinks and get you some good pain killers (you don't need a prescription here)
I hope you aren't to uncomfortable
:hug:

I was there, I wouldn't have been at work to fall on the ice. Oh well. :(

I'm better today. Still a lot of swelling around my elbow and I can't bring my hand in toward my face at all. But, fractures heal and in a few weeks, it should be much better.

:hug:



:loveya:

You could use a change of luck.

:toast:


I'm glad February's a short month. It's been a bitch so far. :(

:hug:
I have had two bonebreaks that I know of: my skull and my toe! I can say I've been fractured from head to toe!

I don't think my skull was fractured but I have a huge knot on the back of my head. I did break a toe and had to have pins 15 years ago. When I was in 5th grade, I broke my collarbone. :shrug:

I've been busy, haven't I?

;)
