I’m sure some of you will be laughing at me but I’ve resigned myself to that, lol. So anyway, last Thursday I got home from USD and was pretty wiped out and I decided to take a little nap before work. Stupid me forgot to set an alarm and I woke up to discover I only had 15 minutes to get to work on time (and I hate being late, it’s a pet peeve of mine). I’m literally running around the apartment trying to get dressed, put my hair up, not trample Jersey, and find the stupid visor thingy I have to wear.
I had left my backpack on the living room floor because when I raced in there to hunt for my visor, I tripped over it. Total comedy movie type of trip, I went flying. And I landed on the oh-so-soft coffee table. I hit the thing so hard I broke one of it’s legs off and I was lying on the floor in incredible pain and completely winded. Needless to say, I just called in sick. But an hour later I was still in a lot of pain and I had some seriously nasty-looking bruising on the left side of my torso.
Jack made me go to the emergency room that night and I got that happy news that I hadn’t broken any ribs- I just bruised 4 of them. They tried to give me this funky belt thing but it was seriously uncomfortable so I just opted for the meds (thank god for Percocet). I had to ice myself for a few days and I’m supposed to take it easy for 3-4 weeks. Thankfully I’m past the point where it hurt to breath (that really sucked) and I can even laugh a bit without twinges.
You know, almost a week later I still have some bruising. Damn fair skin. But I have to say taking a couple days off school to lounge in my pjs watching talk shows and playing with my kitten was not a hardship, even with the rib pain. =P Round Table wasn’t very understanding so I quit. I figure in another two weeks I’ll start looking for something else. Retail maybe. It could be fun. What’s not to love about clothes?
So, I’m off to finish some homework and give Jersey some lovin’. I’m just gonna focus on school (which tells you that I’ve been slacking, lol) and healing and when I’m better I’ll come and give my favorite CT people some lovin’ too. =)
