Out of the ordinary week so far. Monday started off with a bang ... or should I saw a crash as I slid across the ice and slammed down onto the ground not far from my front door. Yup, hurting before I even make it to work. I didn't think much about it at the time. My hands and arm were a bit scraped and my left arm was sore. Eh, I've fallen before and it's never been an issue. I went on to work, but by 11:30 or so, I couldn't move my arm high enough to get my headset back on after break, and I couldn't type. Oh man, did it hurt! I was in tears, and anyone who knows me well knows I have a high pain tolerance. I was hurting something fierce. So, I went home and then had my landlord drive me over to one of the local urgent cares to see the doctor. Result: I had x-rays done and he said to keep my arm immobile and in a sling. One handed typing is HARD to do! and slow at work too.

Today is Wednesday, and I still don't know for sure if my arm is broken. The doctor was leaning toward the fact that it might be fractured when I saw him. They had to send off the x-ray to be read because they don't have a radiologist on staff, and when I called to check back with them about it, they still didn't have the results. Apparently, it could be a couple more days still! A week to get an set of x-rays read is ridiculous. What are they really going to be able to do if it is broken after a week. I can move my fingers down, and I can move my arm a bit without the horrible pain, but I still can't move my arm higher than mid chest. Rae, Tanya, and PC came by this evening to check on me, and Rae ended up washing my hair for me. *sends hugs to them all* It takes a real friend to be willing to shower with you just so you can have clean hair! *whispers to Rae* Steffie wants stories involving soap suds and slippery skin and naughty things in the shower *laughs.*

Steffie's coming down this weekend. I'm glad. I can make it on my own. There are only a few things I can't do or can't do well, but it will be nice to have her here. I'm not at all complaining. I've been missing her. It's been a stressful week beginning with my odd weekend and escalating from there. I've been feeling more clingy than normal, and being semi helpless in what I can do for myself for part of the week hasn't improved that. Some snuggles and kisses and just relaxing time with her will be really nice.

Good Note: They didn't take my PTO for my time off on monday when I had to leave to go to the doctor's office. That's a good thing. It means they still may approve my PTO request for the 20th. I'm definitely planning on going, just hope the PTO goes through so I can get paid for it.
