xX Tinkerbell Xx: So, APPARENTLY... I've been walking around with a broken collarbone since Aug. 23rd. It had rained the evening before and the old wooden steps that lead down to my parking lot were slippery, especially with the thin coating of algae on them... I fell, threw my stuff to catch myself on the railing and apparently broke my collarbone. I thought it was just a pulled muscle and I've been diligently icing it and putting heat on it... but it hasn't gotten better (duh) Today the pain was too much, I took three advil in the morning around 7am... and 3 ibuprofen around 3pm... and it just wasn't even touching the pain so I left work early and went to the walk-in clinic for a quick visit. They took xrays and the doctor on call was like, nothing is wrong but let's get you in a sling, probably just a pulled muscle... but he's not a radiologist. As I was walking to my car he comes running out after me... the radiologists called and told him just as I was leaving that it was hard to see because it's already healing but it's a broken collarbone... so I'm in a sling and have referrals for an orthopedist and physical therapy. FAN. FUCKIN. TASTIC.
