Jack fell down
25 February 2025 10:32 pmI managed to trip up on my way from the kitchen (in which there is no room for a table) to the dining-room and splatter my entire dinner all over the floor. So instant noodles for supper, once I had managed to scrub the tomato stains out of the carpet...
Fortunately I fell on my left elbow, so most of the vertical splatterage went on the wall to my right rather than into the bookcase on my left. Unfortunately I fell directly on my left elbow, and sat there huddled on the floor cradling the agony in the joint and breathing deeply through gritted teeth for some minutes before venturing upon the clean-up operation. It is still very painful when touched, although it functions well enough, and it will probably stiffen up overnight. I hope it will be be sufficiently recovered for me to play my violin later in the week, but as it is the left elbow and not the wrist I suppose it only has to remain extended immobile!
I cancelled the putative telephone assessment for my hand, incidentally. ( Read more... )However it is the same elbow afflicted, which probably doesn't help!
