So last night, I was jogging, and I tripped and fell. I hurt my right foot, so I went back home. As I was on my way, I noticed my arm and hand also were injured. I thought it was one of those things I could "walk off" and it would go away, but as the night progressed, it started getting much worse. I took off my shoe and noticed that my foot was incredibly swollen. I was also noticing that it was becoming difficult to lift things.

Today I went to the doctor. I found out I sprained my foot and have hairline fractures on my left hand and right arm. So they braced me up and I'm on crutches for awhile, which still hurts, because I have to use my arms to help support my weight.

As an added bonus, I got to have a tetanus shot, because I scraped my hand on asphalt.

I'm gimptastic.

Awww too bad AKA.

I hope you feel better soon. At least you have the computer.
And that'll teach you to jog and try to stay healthy.

Yikes! That sucks!

I hope you get better.

Ouch, that must suck. I got elbowed in the mouth yesterday, but that is nothing compared to what happened to you. Yesterday was NOT your day.

Sorry to hear that. It looks like luck isn't on your side, huh?

dawsongirl · 02-26-2003, 02:13 PM

Owww! That makes my cauterized nose hurt less.

Ouch!! Hope you're better soon.

sara · 02-26-2003, 02:35 PM

That's too bad

. How you get better soon. But look on the bright side, your foot's not broken.

Kay Scarpetta · 02-26-2003, 05:12 PM

Get well soon

Babes_Cat · 02-26-2003, 05:16 PM

Eh, sorry. Hope ya feel better soon.

Kitt · 02-26-2003, 05:44 PM

Bummer! Adreneline fouled you up. It masks pain and is even more on the alert when you're on the run like that.
Words of advice for the future:
Ice an injury like the one to your foot as soon as possible, and it'll be much less likely to swell and get so bad. The hairline fractures are another story. Not much you can do about those. They'll heal quickly though if you don't bash them again.
