Last Thursday I had a bad fall in the parking lot at our Mall.
It all happened in a wink. I had to pick up a parcel at our post shop.Tthe problem was I was not supposed to take my car and drive to the shops. The cars water pump is not working well. I have to top up the water every time before I use the car. I did it and told my self it will be fine to quickly go to the shops. (My mechanic said I am not supposed to use the car before he had a look at it! Up to date he hasn’t done it!).
Well happy go lucky, I picked up my parcel and went back to my car, but oh dear, it just happened. I tripped and fell on my hand and hit the cement(pavement) with the side of my face. Lights out!
Some people came to help me and I kept on saying I am Ok. Drove home on my own, had to stop on the way because I wanted to faint.(Bad girl! Such is life when you are on your own). I got home safely.
Next morning my neighbor took over! She took me to the Clinic and there they did all the things they do when you have a situation like mine.
Well done to me, now I can’t drive and have to use my neighbor or the bus to take me where I want.
Here are photos of my hand after 4 days. It still HURTS. ( not for sensitive viewers, please)
Letter H : HURT
Not that swollen anymore
Luckely nothing broke!
oh NO! That is a brutal fall… Hope your hand is healing after they did all the things last Thursday.
Well, they said nothing is broken! It still hurts when I move my fingers. Just time will help to heal it now.
we shout AUA!!! if something hurts us …
We say “eina”
I hope you’ll feel better in three weeks!
The sooner the better! Don’t like it much to be house bound.
Bless your heart. That does look so painful. Please be careful – Hogs and Kisses – Bacon
Thanks for the hogs and kissess! It still hurts but will get better in time. 🙂
Ouch! that’s what we say in the US, or sometimes #$%^&* 🙂
Expect slow healing from that accidental misstep. Slow but steady.
Neighbors are angels. aren’t they?
I agree, neighbors are angels. This was just again to show me “slow down”. I am always on the move(Try to)
Owww!! Hope it’s soon feeling better!
In time It will pass. Still hurts and can’t really use my hand at the moment
eina… hoe de moed de maar in!
Ja wat dit voel al baie beter maar is nog steeds seer en ek kan nie regtig my hand gebruik soos ek moet nie.
