i just wanna blog about it

it was just another regular rainy day. i went to safeway because i have been out of creamer and even tho i know how healthy coconut oil is, i want some damn cream in my one cup of coffee a day. but heres where things went all twilight zone on me. on the way home i realized that i had forgotten the freakin creamer. so i stopped at another discount market near my house to grab some but the expiration date was like tomorrow. i decided to continue on in search of another little store which i found in a couple of blocks. i had never been in this place plastered in beer and cigarette ads...but figured it would be an adventure. i really did have that thought as i walked inside. i held the door for a woman and man behind me, and she thanked me. i located the dairy section, finally, most of the refrigerated cases were filled with other beverages. sadly, their cream had the same date as the last place. i turned to leave not noticing the beer cases on the floor behind me that must have been waiting to be stocked...my foot caught on one and i was down...with beer cans rolling around me.

if you havent fallen as a 'mature' person, it is quite shocking how you dont bounce right back up like you used to. i felt many body parts screaming in pain. must have sat there about 30 seconds, which in this situation seems like an hour. i heard someone from the front of the store say, 'hey, i think someone just fell back there...' soon after he was by me, asking if i was ok. i said not really. he asked what happened. i said i'd tripped over those beer cases. he asked if i needed help up. at this point i recognized him as the guy with the woman i had held the door for. and next to me, with his back to me, was an asian man picking up beer cans.

i managed to stand, and as i made my way out of the store with my throbbing body parts i noticed the asian woman behind the counter staring at me, and the woman standing there as well.

in my car i notice i cant hold the steering wheel without excruciating pain in my left wrist. it began to swell in two places and ice wasn't helping.

hubby comes home and we are off for x-rays. but i am still in this outer limits dimension where nothing is 'normal'...we go to a little clinic here in this little town after hubby called to see if they could x-ray. they could, but not well. i guess the first 3 doses of radiation weren't enough...the gal who took them was 'learning' so a new gal had to take four more. it really didnt do much good tho, because nobody there could read them. so after they all consulted with each other, 'is it broken? i can't tell for sure' they decided to send the x-rays to a radiologist. meanwhile, they put my wrist (actually whole forearm and thumb) in a hard splint which took two of them arguing over it to accomplish.

they are supposed to call today or tomorrow with the x-ray findings from the radiologist. no, i did not make the return in a week appointment. if it is broken i will get some plaster of paris and make my own damn cast. i doubt it could be any worse.

so now you know why i'm typing with one hand. i am just glad i made it out of the alternative dimension alive. i would sure love a cup of coffee...but i still dont have any creamer.
