Pulling a crate out of my truck, by the plastic banding...it broke, leaving me on my ass so fast I hadn't even known I'd fallen. Of course, nature makes you drop your hands to catch yourself....my right wrist, on the thumb joint swelled like a golf ball. I drove back to town (using my coolers ice thingy to slow the pain/swelling). Off to quack in a box...who close at 5pm. Remember, only get hurt between 7:30 & 5:00. So, off to the ER. 8 x-rays later, the y put a splint on saying it's probably not broken but the swelling needs to subside to be x-rayed again, to be sure.

OUCH!!!!

:crap:
 
That sucks,hope you drive an Automatic?

walk-in clinic around here,the Doctors will only see "X" number of patients ,before they shutdown for the day,so you've gotta plan your illness accordingly and hope there hasn't been any epidemics :rolleyes:
 
...we would've treated you first, then billed ya. :)

Sorry t'hear about your accident, Gonz. At least the crate didn't hit you on the way down. Hope that you feel better soonest.

When they say that, it's always broken. Go back so's you don't heal crooked.
 
24 hours in a splint & it feels better. Still sore but this afternoon, there was a great improvement. A little ice & another day of the splint, just to be sure.
