Hi,
I hate Worcester and it hates me. Last night, I was headed back to my car and tripped over a stump. I banged up my knees and scuffed my hands and really pounded my left elbow. A quick trip to the emergency room confirmed that I have indeed fractured my radial head (one of the bones connecting to the elbow). I have it in a sling and I'll try to get an appointment on Monday to go in and have a bone specialist look it over and recommend further treatment. It's a very small fracture, the doctor had to point it out to me on the x-ray, but my arm is going to be out of it for a few weeks.

Date: 2006-10-15 02:40 pm (UTC)It's ok, it hurt, but I couldn't tell if it was broken/sprained/just really banged up. It wasn't so searingly bad I couldn't drive, and I figured if it turned out they needed to do something serious (like put me under), I'd rather have them do it in Concord where it'd be easier for Annie to come get me.
The big thing was leaving the light on so I could find the keys I dropped.
