Hobbies are dangerous
Apr. 7th, 2014 12:08 amLooks like I'm not safe from any of my hobbies:
- Dancing: first injury back in 2000, then 2002 at my first real date, and more followed, all toes
- Orienteering: broke big toe in 2009, and of course my major clavicle fracture last June
- And now Curling gets added tonight: took a fall on my mid-lower left of my back, fairly flat, nothing on elbow or head.
(What's left: congoing, DDR, boardgaming, videogaming, online chatting...)
Quick trip (less than three hours) to the Civic, x-rays, nothing shows up, so likely no hairline fracture. Just soft tissue damage, as much to the surface muscles as the muscles underneath, the ones connecting various surface muscles together. In ways one doesn't normally think. I'm getting a pretty darn good anatomy lesson if I move a particular way, or extend to pick up something, or bend a bit, or... do a lot of things, really.
But if I sit fully in a chair with my back and neck straight, then there's no real pain (though I happily will take the tramacet prescribed, I know how well it works on me). Yay, an injury forcing me to improve my posture! (this is called grasping at silver linings)
And in ten days, I'm flying to Seattle through Vancouver. Yeah, could have been better timing. Take-off should be fine, it's the landing I'm not looking forward to. And going to a con, but no dancing... that'll be hard on me.
