A woman in our Vegas office tripped over her own computer bag and broke both her elbows -- she'll be out of commission for five weeks.

I'm betting you don't hurt THAT bad!

[Guido Contini]

haha...I bet nothing hurts worse than that ladies pride.

[JohnPopa]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 2:34pm

Yeah, I'd at least hope it happened when I was alone so I could come up with a better story than 'I tripped over my computer bag.'

[Guido Contini]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 2:36pm

no kidding...but what kind of****and bull story do you use to explain two broken elbows?

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 2:39pm

I know of someone who broke his arm by tripping over a box of ornaments. That's pretty bad too.

oh jesus...tell me i did not just become an idina spawn.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 2:42pm

Are you kidding me? There's someone else out there who's broken an elbow?

I thought I was so tragically pathetic that no one else in the WORLD ever had that bizarre injury.

[insomniak]

BWW is a freaky place, everyone has far too much in common... Emcee, what did you do?

Guido, a wonderful person such as yourself is bound to attract an Idinalike following. Protect yourself. Protect your coffee.

[Guido Contini]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 2:46pm

I have that kind of following already, in real life. (oh if you only knew) *guards coffee with his life*

I ran. On concrete. In a torrential New York Summer downpour. While wearing flip-flops. I crushed my radial head like a soda can. VERY painful.

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 2:50pm

*winces* That sounds very bad. How long did you have to wear a cast? On the topic of odd injuries, has anyone else had a run-in with a stingray?

Guido, what kind of following?

[ckeaton]

oh sure...until Disney releases Mr. Whatshisname. *sticks tongue out triumphantly*

(See, look! I'm a good understudy! Someday, I'll be a standby, and all the kiddies can refuse to clap for me when I go on!)

Judy hun, how is my sweater coming along? Because while I won't need it today (freakishly warm here, eh?) I will be needing it tomorrow.

I gave up knitting yours, and just went out and bought a fabulous cashmere number for you at the mall. It's black, plunging neckline... it's a real delight.

I think it was six weeks, insomniak. My arm was literally stuck in the bent position. I took my ACT and my finals like that, and it was my writing hand. Big big BIG mess. Don't run in flip-flops.

And, not a stingray, but a jellyfish, yes. Not quite as bad.

Ckeaton, I can't WAIT to try it on!
And yes, it is a balmy day in Lake Ontario country! the damn ice is all melted now.
The student ghetto no longer looks like Stars on Ice with Josee Chouinard.

JP- elbows- ouch! All I can boast is that my entire right side from the waist down is bruised, stiff and sore and I'm limping like a goon. Ah well.

And once Disney is done with Mr. Whatshisname, Imageworks may be taking him even further away!

I am deathly afraid of all kinds of "*ray" Stingrays, Manorays (whatever they're called), and even people named 'Ray'. Once as a kid, I was swimming in the caribbean and one sailed by, I was up standing on my dad's shoulders so fast. I don't even know how I did it.

"Limping like a goon" The bells! The bells!! I can see it now.

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:03pm

ck, just wait until you step on one and get stung by what feels like a nail in your foot that happens to be poisonous...

Judy, it's warm here too. It's raining now but yesterday it was like seventy. Odd, because the temperature usually hovers in the single digits this time of year.

Emcee, did you at least get lots of sympathy?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:05pm

Not until after the Xray, which wasn't until almost two days later. My parents were like "eh, there's nothing wrong with you. You're fine," and didn't think I needed an xray until I was still crying in pain two days later. After that I sort of did.

[judy_in_disguise]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:07pm

I'm a bit of a dumbass though.
My mother is a doctor and my dad is a paramedic.
And I'm out here on my own and didn't even THINK to elevate or ice!
Dumb dumb dumb!

[JohnPopa]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:12pm

Freakishly warm here and we've got major flooding (although I'm not affected personally.)

[ckeaton]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:17pm

Yeah 68F/20C here was the forecast... I think it's the beginning of the end. The weather has been very strange this year.

That's OK, Judy... it's the children of Doctors that generally are the last to think of those things, or even get taken seriously. I was on the back of my dads bike once when I was a pup, and my leg got caught up in the spokes... Dr. Dad kept saying no, it's OK... he's fine... Yeah, it was fractured. He was a radiologist for God's sake!!

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:19pm

Popa, you are in Ohio too, correct?

Emcee, I've been there. Sorry, it sucks when people will not believe you are in serious pain. I was screaming and they rolled their eyes...

CK- I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!
If your parents are health care professionals, you have to be spurting blood out of your jugular to get an effing bandaid!
One of life's great ironies.

[ckeaton]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:37pm

You got a bandaid? Wow.
Back to trying on that sweater...

[judy_in_disguise]

Posted: 1/13/05 at 3:43pm

I'm telling you, I don't have the assets for a plunging neckline.
Although I do LOVE cashmere!
