My chins better love me...

[Stackie]

I spent last night rearranging the boys' cages after a full evening of making them new shelves. I was at a somewhat awkward angle trying to hang a shelf in the back corner and ended up tripping over myself or something..I don't even know how to explain it! But none the less I fell backwards, and out of reflex tried to catch myself. I landed weirdly on my wrist but I didn't think much of it, it just smarted quite a bit...but when I woke up this morning, it was all swollen and bruised. I ignored it and went off to class, but when trying to write notes felt like I was stabbing myself in the wrist, I decided I should probably go to the hospital.

Now I am home with a fractured wrist, a big ugly splint, and 7 chins who gave me the stink eye when I came in because I accidentally slammed the door. The things we do for our chins...I'm sure they laughed at me when they watched me fall, too!

ETA...Picture of the damage...

Gosh, Stacie. I can't believe you slammed the door. Have some consideration for goodness sake.

Wow! That accident sounds like something that would happen to me: I have a big scar on my lip from walking into a bike rack (see the pic on FB), so lame. Hope you heal quickly!

 

[JodiO]

Yeah..I'm a complete klutz sometimes...*sigh* The other day I walked completely into my wall when I was walking by the cages and gave Smudge some drive-by scritches. I think they have it out for me!

The splint is really helping..I opted not to take any pain meds. It really only hurts when I bend my wrist a certain way and the splint prevents me from doing it. I'll manage. Thanks everyone )

Yea, I can relate. I once tripped over myself while I was seated in a chair. I know...don't ask, but it happened alright.

Hope you feel better soon!! You can just use it as an excuse to make your teacher give you copies of their notes/slides or something!
