Health Update

For any who are interested...

My nose is broken, and my left wrist/hand has either a small bone chip or a small fracture at the very tip of the ulna. Am in a splint that makes me very clumsy, and it still aches a lot - as does the nose. I have a LOVELY shiner, and a cut above the left eye - altho the pool of blood left on the pavement was definitely from the nose.

Anyhoo, piano playing is definitely out for the nonce, and I'm a bit spacey and quick to tire. Chiropractor tells me I probably was concussed as well, but only mildly since I never lost consciousness or saw stars or anything. He treated me for a slight whiplash today, and will check me over again tomorrow for the rest.

Typing hurts, so will probably be very quiet for a while.

Thanks to all who offered good wishes.

So I'm a clutz...

Coming out of having daughter Súl do my nails for the month, I tripped over the tire stop thing and did a face-plant into the asphalt in the parking lot. Bloody nose, banged up knee, wrist VERY sore (probably sprained) and road rash on the left side of my face.

No, I didn't let the EMTs take me to the ER. I came home, put ice on everything that REALLY hurt, and slept for a while. Hubby made me lunch and fixed my glasses (bent them out of shape too) and he'll fix supper tonite too so I don't have to. Will see chiropractor in the next day or so, and a regular Dr. if my wrist continues to give me grief. I need to play the piano on Sunday, so won't let it hang very long at all.

I feel like a total idiot, and I hurt like the dickens. Súl chewed me out for not having my cane handy. So if I'm AWOL for a while, you guys will know why...
