Yesterday I was prepping the golf cart for the parade and was walking out of the garage and my old, worn crock hit something wet, and I slipped.
I mostly caught my fall with my wrist (scratched my palm), but I also hit my shin and got a little scratch (very minor you can’t even see it today). No big deal, right? Jonny helped me up and we went on our way with our festivities. I noticed the wrist was sore and didn’t do a great job driving the golf cart, but it was manageable.
I woke up to it being really sore and painful this morning. My hubs offered to get a brace for me, but I told him to get on his way because it’s a busy day (he went to fix his buddy’s brakes and then prep for swim meet). I went to CVS, and I am glad I went because there are a bunch of options and sizes! I ended up getting a really simple yet not super supportive one so I had something to stabilize. I wasn’t super happy with the selection and what would meet my needs so I decided to just try the simple wrap one.
Well, it’s good, but I decided to do more research to order the perfect one for me. I found a great one, but I can’t get it until tomorrow. It was tempting to get a similar one with same day, but I wanted the best! No big deal – I have the current one and will get the more serious one going forward. I think it will be especially good to wear the sturdy one at night so I don’t continue to cause pain from however I sleep on it.
My biggest problem is that I don’t want to wear the brace to work even thought I should. I hate showing signs of weakness. Ha ha!
