Klutz!

This time I did not even fall or the dog or trip, I just fell. The pain in my right hand was so excruciating and kept me on the verge if fainting for hours, so I was certain something had to be broken this time. Of course it wasn't and now I look like a wimp surpreme.

Just came back from the doctor, who said it was the impact that caused the pain, and although he could see that there was more than just muscle damage, it was unlikely that the bones were actually broken. So I wait. 5 days to be exact.

The weird part of this was the falling just like that. One moment I'm walking, the next momet the ground is coming towards me at 100 km/h. I don't think it's the MS, the doctor agreed with me, because MS symptoms don't come and go just like that. So either I had a brief blackout, which is also unlikely, as I've never fainted before, or else I'm just an extreme klutz, which does sound likely. What I don't understand is how someone with such a keen sense of balance as me and good reflexes, can keep falling and banging into stuff?

Apart from the pain, which is now a 7-8 on a scale of 10, this is terribly impractical. I can't type properly or use the mouse properly and I can't shifts gears, so there'll be no driving either.

Well that doesn't sound like a pleasant experience! OUCH! Did the doctor give you anything to lessen the pain at all?

Heh, no. These are country doctors, I think my hand would have to have fallen off before they'd give painkillers.
