Doing things left-handd again

I went down to the basement to get something and l fell. I'm not sure what happened, whether my leg gave out or I momentarily lost consciousness but I fell on a bunch of stuff. I hit my head against a concrete support post and landed on my hand or arm. Now it hurts whenever I tried to turn my hand. I've put a brace on it and can manage hunt and peck with the right hand andtouch withthe left. So forgive any typing errors.

That's scary, maybe you should make a doctor's appointment and find out what is going on.

I don't know... low blood pressure maybe. I used to occasionally pass out getting out of bed too quickly when I was a teen.

Why do you have to type at all when your hand and arm hurt? You should take a break until the pain has gone. MyLot will still exist when you feel better.

She didn't think I broke my arm. She did send me for some tests: blood draw, urinalysis and an ekg and tomorrow I'm going for some other tests.

I hope you feel better quickly... May I tell you I'm a bit worried about you now? You might think about making a doctor's appointment and get checked out.

@1creekgirl I might, then again, I might not... I woke up feeling refreshed, anyway and my wrist only hurts when I turn it a certain way.

That does sound like a very nasty fall. Hope your hand is feeling better today and that you didn't break anything.

It wasn't pleasant, anyway.

My wrist hurts if I turn it a certain way but otherwise just feels uncomfortable.

Gosh, that doesn't sound too good. I try to use my left hand for different things in case I ever hurt my right.
