I don't consider myself a clumsy person but when I get hurt it seems I go all out! Friday, the first day back after it snowed, Jimmy drove me to work because he was worried about the road conditions -even though I only work 4 miles from home. I had just finished putting my stuff down at work and walked outside to get some pictures of our building covered in snow. As I'm walking across the street. Wham Bam! I slipped and fell on black ice in the road.
I managed to get myself up and even took a couple of pictures while I was just in agony from the back pain and my hand slightly bleeding from getting cut by the ice. I waited a few hours at work while I caught up from being out for two days, but after waiting all that time and the pain never eased up I finally had Jimmy pick me up and I went to Urgent Care.
It was nice to know I wasn't the only person to slip. Everybody at the doctors was there for the same reason. It was frustrating that it took 2 hours to be called in and then waiting for three hours in the doctors room to only see the doctor for 5 min and the nurse for 10 mins. I received a tetanus shot for my cut hand, a shot in my tush for pain (which only made it hurt worse!) and some band-aids for my hand.
They did take x-rays and even though the Doctor "didn't have time to review them" before I left from the hospital. I called later that night and thankfully nothing is broken.
I'm still hobbling around with a bit of pain when I bend down four days later and the cuts on my hand are mostly healed. I see the doctor again tomorrow for a check-up.
