Wrist update

[amberdreams]

Thanks for all your concern and advice yesterday chaps! I got the bus up to the A&E this morning and was seen within ten minutes (which is amazing - there was hardly anyone there). Anyhow, the nice jolly nurse chap told me it was a contusion on the tendon = he was very definite there was no damage to the bones - so I hopped back on the bus and carried on with the icing treatment. I'm happy to report the swelling is down a bit, and it's a lot less painful so yay! I reckon I scared it into submission by threatening it with triage.

I think I did it on Sunday night when I was leaning across the bath to open the window, because I did smack my wrist on the window sill then - and I can't remember doing anything else that might have caused any damage. It would have been very embarrassing to have broken a bone opening a window...

Owwww OUCH! but least you know what it is! Just rest it and no more smacking it! *hugs*

No more smacking (and at least it wasn't my head, huh? *is looking at you, petal!*

LOL!! *scuffs feet* I just managed to let Steve take a chunk out of my finger with a shovel too! O_O! CLUTZ alert ;)

That's good to hear! Hopefully that bruise fades away gracefully and you can leave it behind ASAP. ;)

Ice is marvellous, now I'm happy it's just a bruise I'm willing it to fade!

Good to hear it's nothing more serious :)
Take good care of it!!

I missed your post yesterday, but what a relief it wasn't a broken bone and that it's already feeling better, phew!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I know, I feel like a wally for posting now. LOL

Oh good! I'm really happy to hear it. I was debating leaving a comment on the last post, then told myself NOT to do Internet medicine and waited.

But also OW. I've done those, they hurt :/

I don't know why I posted it really - I think I was feeling a bit sorry for myself, but then I get loads of sympathy and concern and have to respond to it - which is when I realise I was making a big fuss about nothing. LOL

[dear-tiger.livejournal.com]

Hey, loads of sympathy is good. And you're hurt, so you're entitled to be whiny :D

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

I'm really relieved and glad you got it checked out, give it plenty more rest and hopefully it'll be all healed up soon ♥ take care, bb ♥

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it's improved again today - it really is like treating it seriously scared it away LOL

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

That sounds nasty but at least you got it checked out. I'm happy you're on the mend. Take care :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

thank you - it's definitely getting better quickly now! Must be the positive vibes :D

I am so glad you aren't seriously injured and that it is feeling better already.

It would have been very embarrassing to have broken a bone opening a window...

While I was in grad school I spent one evening reading for hours with my left arm propped up on the arm of my couch and the next day I couldn't move it. I went to a doc-in-the-box to have them look at it, and they put me in a sling for a few days. That night I went to class and when everyone asked what happened, I had to tell them I hurt myself reading.

Yep.

And who says reading isn't badass? That's kind of awesome LOL!
