I fell at work today

[Kit]

Ugh. I fell in the parking lot at work, and it wasn't even because of snow or ice. There was a small pothole, and of course I managed to trip over it. I landed on my hands and knees, and was cushioned a little bit by my purse and lunch bag.

My knees are banged up, my wrists are sore, and my back hurts. And of course, Tylenol isn't going to help any of that.  I called my ob's office and the nurse told me to go home, rest, and no lifting/moving/pushing anything 10 lbs or over for the next two weeks. And, no sex for two weeks also (poor H).

:-(

Oh no! That sounds awful! I hope you were able to go home and take it easy.

I'm "working from home" this afternoon, which means sitting on the couch with the cat eating snacks.

LOL :-)

Oh man, rough start to the day! Get lots of rest! And kitty snuggles.

Oh I'm sorry! Take it easy and I hope you feel better.

I'm sorry, that's awful. Take it easy and enjoy "working" from home.

[smiledamnit]

How scary! Rest up and hope you feel better soon!

[coda]

That sucks. Rest up and take it easy.

[lillaguma]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope that you feel better soon. Take it really easy.

Thanks guys - my knee is pretty swollen but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good, thankfully.

My office manager emailed me and said the maintenance guys are patching the pothole today, so that's good.

[kams]

Oh no! So glad you're ok. Enjoy your snacks

Falling is no fun even when not pregnant. I hope you're not sore for long.

How are you feeling? Take care of yourself.

I am SO sore today, but the swelling in my knees has gone down, so that's good. I can ice them here so hopefully it keeps the swelling down, but if not I'll go home again. :-)
