I fell :( WITH UPDATE

I fvcked up my elbow pretty royally this morning.  I was carrying the baby down the stairs and slipped off the last 5 steps.  He was fine, just pissed off because he's not used to going down the steps in such a dramatic fashion.  I checked him over and he was fine.  One squawk and he was done complaining.

I, on the other hand, feel like I pinched a nerve in my left elbow.  I can't even extend it.  

This is what I get for not wearing winter socks and wearing cute socks instead.  Cute socks are slippery.   

****The PA at work thinks I pinched a nerve in my elbow so I made an appointment with DH?s orthopedist for tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!****

Re: I fell :( WITH UPDATE

  • Is it bad enough you think you have to go get it checked out?

    I hope it gets better soon.

  • Oh no!  I'm glad Hunter's ok, and that you're ok (aside from the elbow).  Do you think you should get an x-ray or anything?  That stinks...hope you feel better soon!

    I hope it gets better soon.

    We have a portable x-ray at work and I'm wondering if I can scam one of the nurses into checking it out.  Ibuprofen hasn't even taken the edge off.

  • OUch! You must have been so scared, and thank goodness Hunter was okay. See how it feels tomorrow, and if it still hrts please go get it looked at!

  • Oh no!  That must have been scary with little Hunter in tow.  I'm glad he is ok and hope your elbow heals quickly!  Steps can be such evil bastards!

    Well don't hold off on it too long, just in case it's something that needs assistance in being fixed!  I fell a couple summers ago (the one before the wedding) and fvcked my knee up royally.  I didn't get it checked out right away until MONTHS later and found out I crushed the right side of that knee cap in so now I can't kneel on that knee anymore.

  • Ouch! Good job protecting the babe though! I hope the pain settles down quick.

  • You may have broken that little bone at the tip. My mama did the same thing, well not falling down steps falling chasing a bull (ahh the farm life), anyways and she never got checked out and she still to this day can't fully extend her arm. Get it checked out girl, I say scam a nurse. Wink
  • stupid cute socks!
    Glad the squawker is fine! 

    Hope you are able to get it checked out very soon!  I'm sure it's not feeling very lovely... Usually, if it's a chip, etc, those hurt more than if you did major stuff to it.

    Same thing happened to me.  Get it at least scanned if you can honey.  I hope it is nothing serious and that it starts to get feeling better soon.  I can't imagine how scared you must have been with hunter along.

     

  • AHHHH.  I'm so glad the baby is ok.  I am terrified of carrying the baby on stairs for this reason.  I make J do it.

    Get it checked out.  I hope it's just a pinch and it wears off.

  • How scary! Hope you feel better soon.

  • Yikes! I'm glad Hunter is ok, and I hope your elbow is just a nerve and nothing more serious!
  • Aack! I'm glad yyou were able to protect little Hunter!

    Get that elbow checked out, lady, you don't want permanent damage when an x-ray is so nearby!

  • Uh Oh Rachel!!  I hope your arm feels better and it's nothing too serious!

    Glad you and the little man are pretty much OK!!  keep us posted!

  • Thanks ladies! Will keep you posted. But for now, my iTouch is dead, so I will not be nesting until tonight :)
