we Rants, Thoughts and Adventures: Just call me clutzy!

Things that I write in here are my thoughts, rants and experiences. If you take offense to anything read.. please let me know.. or just realize that I may not mean things the way they come across.. and if I do.. well it is a journal to vent my thoughts and expressions... so please take things lightly... though I will try to keep the bitching about others to a minimum... as there is enough bad karma in this world.. and I no longer want to add to that

Just call me clutzy!

So 2 weeks ago, while doing night warmers in the auditorium I fell. A student was speaking korean in the back of the auditorium and I decided to walk over the rows of children to tell the one student to "STOP SPEAKING KOREAN" in person. As I stepped over the rows of children, I got my foot caught in one of the students jacket hoods and hit the ground. The way I fell was... well dramatic to say the least... I let out a yelp and then put my hands out to stop my face from hitting the floor. Instantly, all 350 students fell silent, the teachers began to laugh, and my supervisor asked if I was alright. Other than being extremely embarrassed and a little sore... I was fine... or so I thought. When I fell, I put my hands out and in turn locked my elbows... well for the last 2 weeks my right hand has been quite sore... and finally after a lot of pushing from Paula I decided to go to the hospital before work. It turns out that because I locked my elbows when I fell... I fractured my Carpal (sp) Tunnel Bone (aka Scapula.. I think) in my wrist. So I am now the proud owner of a soft (and removable thank G-D so I can shower and brush my hair) cast for the next 4 weeks. The color is not exactly desirable (navy blue)... but I am going to beedazzle it up. Oh well... call me clutzy! Atleast it was entertaining.

hey kiddo, it's the scaphoid not the scapula.:SCAPHOID-the bone of the thumb side of the carpus that is the largest in the proximal row.

Scapula relates to the shoulder area.

Love mom

Remember the time in high school when I fell off a chair in the choir room and sprained my wrist? Seems like we are sisters-in-clutziness!
