Ouch!

[pitc9]

I fell today at work. I was walking in the shop and slipped on melted snow.
I fell forward and landed on my knees and my right elbow.
My fingers on my right hand are staring to get tingley now.
Not a good sign I'm sure.

Don't know really why I'm posting this... none of the guys here at work give a dang and I just wanted to vent.

Thanks.

Ouch is right! Well we care here! I hope your hand is ok.

Ow is right! I 'felt' that! Do you have cup of warm cocoa to wrap your hand around? Oh wait, I think you ice it for the first 2 hours, THEN do the warm stuff. OK, do you have a can of soda to wrap your hand around?

What a way to start off your work day, so sorry! Hope the elbow feels better soon and the tingley feeling goes away.

or other problems with your elbow,etc. Take care.

Yes, it wouldn't hurt to officially report your fall and if need be to be seen by a doctor. More likely than not you will not have any after effects, but the chance that you may speaks to making sure you have all your bases covered.

Poor you! Feel better soon

Oh I know that hurt!!! A couple of years ago I slipped on ice in the parking lot at my work. I was carrying mail in my hand which I was going to take to the post office. Silly me, as I went down I held tight onto the mail (it was a windy day) which caused my elbow to go crashing into the parking lot (but the mail was intact ). Within minutes I was in agony and, by the time I got home, I had a huge bubble at the end of my elbow. I went to the ER and it turned out that the bubble was blood which had formed and which was drawn off. The elbow was x-rayed and found to be cracked at the pointy part on the bottom. I never thought to report it to anyone but, rather, paid the Emergency Room co-pay. Looking back, I probably should have done otherwise. I hope you feel better. The tingly feeling is a concern to me. Maybe you should be checked out.

Aww, I'm sorry. That sounds like something I do once a month.. Did you skin your knee? Hope it feels better soon.
