falling, broken arm, public humiliation - Phentermine.com

Nibby · April 22nd, 2002, 12:49 PM

Dang... it's one thing to fall, it's another to do it in a crowded public forum. Talk about embarrassing. In Lowe's Garden Center, of all places. I've never broken a bone before, but after my wrist hurting since Saturday, I decided to go to the doctor today. Fractured my wrist in two places. (I never even saw the low-lying cart/dolly I tripped over.) Had to miss work and cancel all my clients. My face was as red as the geraniums. Sigh... And it's my "good" arm, too --I'm right-handed and can't even make a decent signature on my checks. Should I call the bank to forewarn them?

Broken wrist and bruised ego,
Nibby

What a pain in the patuti, or wrist in your case!!

I hope you hurt as little as possible and heal as fast as possible!!

Take care of you,
Del

Oh, I'm soooo sorry!

I managed to launch myself down a short flight of concrete steps a few years ago & broke my elbow, thereby proving once and for all that Blondes Can't Fly.

Seriously, do check in with Home Depot & let them know you were injured (report it to the manager on duty). A friend of mine fell & broke her leg in three places at the Sony Metreon & they're paying her medical bills for the injury. Imagine being carted off in an ambulance from a crowded movie theatre!

Are you typing with your left hand?

What a bummer! Hope you heal quickly!

Hey,

Thanks everyone for the good wishes -- I feel very cared for... I'm trying to get the hang of typing only with my left hand. I think I will see if Lowe's will cover the medical expenses -- I rarely get sick so I know my deductible hasn't been met this year. They filled out an incident report and some headquarters person called me yesterday to see how I was doing. I think they realize that the dolly shouldn't have been where it was...

Thanks again, phrends!
