Dear Ladies, who did I piss off?
Nov. 7th, 2014 01:59 pmSo, at work today, I had a bit of a fall.
*sitting* at my desk.
I use a backless ergonomic kneel/sit chair, with the standard five spokes-with-casters arrangement. One of those spokes, at the front right at the time, snapped clean through.
Initially, I thought I was fine, because the obvious pain was my left foot, which had somehow been landed on (yes, I know, fell to the right, landed on left foot). There was also a bit of discomfort in my right elbow, which I had bumped on the soft kneeling cushion on the way down. Turns out this was quite the jar, which has exacerbated the existing shoulder injury. Iced it at work, decided driving home while it qas still moving was the better choice, am now home and have got eldest to slather the whole area (the whole top right of my back has seized in sympathy - I can no longer tell which muscles need attention, and which are merely stressed because they are carrying extra load) with topical anti-inflammstory. Have done the elbow and intervening areas myself as well, just because the elbow was already inflamed (I'm blaming crochet - it diesn't stop me).
And I don't think I'd realised before how much easier it is to type one-handed on the ipad compared to the wireless keyboard. This post is much less tiring than the email I sent off detailing what had happened. That, and the fact that I left my powercord at work, mean ni more work is happening today. Not sure what is - crafting all uses that arm, writing is rapidly reaching 'nope', and I'm not at all motivated to do any of the household tasks that coldbe done without jarring the arm. Driving is out - doable, but painful.
