The knee that won't go away

I fell today. I sat in a chair in a lab at school, and it had a bad leg. I went down, hit my hip, my shoulder, and knocked my head on a table. A student helped me up, I went to the bathroom and then to my office to compose myself, and I returned and conducted the rest of the class. By the time class was over, I was a mess. So, I canceled my office hour and went home.

I have a huge knot on my head.

Just when I thought it's OK to not be afraid ALL THE TIME of falling while doing normal everyday things,

it isn't.

back to square one.

dammit.

So, the other issue is that there were SEVEN damaged chairs in that room, and it could have happened to a student. Top that with a frozen printing queue and the fact that 10 of the 25 computers were wonky, and I had a damn near perfect 4 hours at the office.

aww..um, yeah...I'm not secretly laughing so hard my eyes are tearing up. I would never do that. Maybe you should start wearing protective gear..kinda like skaters do or something. Anyway, sorry about your knee/hip/shoulder/head. seriously.

right. you're concern exudes. if there had been blood and stitches, you'd cackle.

nooo...well, ok, maybe. I'd like to think I'd eventually start feeling bad about it though. Normally I'd be scared you'd be angry at me laughing, but now i know i can just find some stairs. you'd never catch me. :D

(after typing this, i secretly fear for my life)

That sucks about the fall. Are you feeling any better now? Did it mess with your knee?

Murph said...

I'm fine today. Knot on the head and sore.

That toally sucks. Are they going to fix all the broken chairs? Obviously, that can seriously hurt people. Are you ok? I know you are physically, or at least on the way, but I am sure that messed with your emotions as well.

BOO to a really, really shitty day!
