7 Days
I came home to grab my blood work sheet and I was exhausted as I left again. Outside there’s some concrete steps and as I was going up… I simply didn’t have the strength to do so. And fell. Hard.
Luckily I was headed to the hospital anyways. A guy from the building behind us jumped off his balcony… seriously… he was only about ten feet up, but still. He came and helped me up and to my car, which was through the building and down two flights of stairs, and then he tried insisting on coming with me but I figured I’d be hanging around the hospital for, like, ever since I needed lab work so I told him I’d be fine.
I went to the lab first since I wanted to get everything done and luckily got in right away. Got that taken care of then they took me into the ER so I didn’t have to wait. Yay. Doc came in, I explained everything that’s going on. Since they’re testing for Cushing’s… which is looking very much like the problem… he insisted on X-rays ’cause Cushing’s can cause bones to break easier.
Well I have a fracture in my left arm… about two inches away from the elbow. He said I likely hit my elbow, since it’s also sprained, and the pressure caused a weak spot to fracture. Fantastic.
It actually doesn’t hurt much but it’s really bruised and swollen. I don’t have a cast ’cause of the location… it would have to go around the elbow. Instead I have a tensor bandage.
Oh but there’s more. I also sprained my left knee and managed an awesome black eye. ‘Cause I rule. The black eye isn’t too, too bad… make up will cover it all up I think. The knee hurts like a son of a bitch though.
And this is only the first day without Stuart. If he’d been here I would have had him with me if I was that exhausted.
I told you this would be a long week.
He phoned earlier ’cause I texted him about the printer… I couldn’t find the adapter. I thought he’d just text me back… when he phoned I didn’t want to pick up. Not ’cause it was him, I just didn’t feel like answering the phone. I did that earlier too… I was watching Numb3rs and I heard the phone ring and I just told myself it was in the show. I don’t even know who it was that phoned. I don’t care. Says Gregory Cox… I know no one by that name. *shrugs*
Anyways… when he phoned… I didn’t tell him about the incident today. I mean why upset him? He can’t do anything. He’ll be pissed when he gets home and finds out I didn’t tell him though. *shrugs*
In better news I got my hair cut yesterday and I dyed it burgandy brown today. It looks awesome.
