OW

[ewt]

Just fell down the loft steps. It is slippery and the socks are also slippery.

To my credit, myback and neck are okay, and I didn't hit my head at all. And my leg has stopped hurting already and my shoulder was very tense but a bit better now, anf will continue with chamomile tea, which my housemate kindly made. He also hrlped with the sling and fetched my phone and other useful things, and it is a lot less scary being injured when someone else is around.

But my right arm is very painful. I've got it in a sling with some ice packs for now. Lifting and grasping stuff is possible but very painful; typing hurts terribly so I'm LH only for now, hence the errors. My fingers are slightly swollen and rathre tingly. Everuthing seems to move in all the directions it should, though.

I'm going to have some very pretty bruising!

Meep indeed. But it's enough better now that I can type; hopefully by tomorrow I'll be able to play horn. And do washing up, which won't work today because I can only hold things in one hand and can't really apply pressure with the right at all.

And I'll have to be very careful at Aikido tomorrow evening. But I think without the Aikido I have done, I may well have hurt myself far more badly than I did. A bruised elbow and thigh isn't bad going for falling down nearly an entire flight of stairs.
