I am a klutz

Did I tell you I’m a klutz? It seems that every few months I managed to injure myself. The last injury I had wasn’t totally my fault though, I’ll tell you about it …

You see we’ve been renovating our house and around the beginning of June, my husband had an extension ladder and he left it inside the house in the living room in the hallway and somehow late at night when I was walking from the kitchen, I managed to trip and fall on the ladder. This resulted in a lot of noise – a very loud clatter, a lot of bruising to one of my legs and a lot of swelling to my left hand and then an hour later a trip to the emergency room.

So to keep a long story short, I seem to have damaged ligaments in my left hand which of course is my dominant hand and I’ve been in a splint for a little over a month. Were still not 100% sure exactly what’s going on with my hand. This Tuesday, I have a bone scan because one of the bones in my upper hand, apparently, is swollen, at least that’s what the MRI showed. so depending what the bone scan shows could have a slight break in that bone. Who knows? Either way it’s good to be at least a couple more weeks before my hand is back to normal.

So as I said at the beginning I am a klutz. If I keep injuring myself every so often I’m going to need one of those roll about rentals. you know, that’s like a walker. Hopefully my klutziness stops soon. In the meantime, maybe I’ll just wrap myself in bubble wrap.
