one handed

Well typing is a labour intensive painful chore. Today I had an unexpected adventure. When I finished work I fell on a slippery embankment.... and felt an intense pain in my right wrist. I went to my car and tried to open the door - with my right wrist... that was quite painful and I had to sit in the car and wait for my dizzy spell to past. I was supposed to be driving to brisbane but when I rang Matt he said I had to go get my wrist xrayed. Unfortunately my practice was closed and I couldn't write myself a request form (plus I don't think the private radiology places are open on the weekend past lunch time) and so I had to go to the public hospital in Nambour. After driving and filling up my car with fuel, I went to the hospital, I had to park ages away because trying to do a reverse parallel park with one hand wasn't going to happen. The long and short of my three hour wait (which I felt I deserved having been so stupid as to fall over). Is that the xrays look normal to me but the consultant in emergency reckons he can see a crack through the distal head of my radius. I admit there is a lot of pain and a semi egg shaped swelling over the head of my radius which hurts like hell. Still I said no to a backslab because it wasn't to aid healing it was just to provide comfort and support and I felt sorry for the intern seeing me. So I just went and got a wrist support from the chemist. Still I now wish I had asked for some panadeine forte. that's all I can type, I'm exhausted, I'm not coming to brisbane this weekend now -too far to drive with my mong wrist.
