I was an Atomic Robot Jungle Vixen!

Here is the missing post that I wrote and e-mailed on March 30...

On my way to work this morning I was walking along as normal and somehow managed to miss seeing a patch of ice. My feet went right out from under me, and I fell on my butt and, more painfully, my hands. My arms were very stiff, and it really jammed both limbs, especially the wrists. There was so much pain that for a few seconds there I sat on the ice wondering if I was even going to come in to work.
The pain did subside, but when I stopped by a convenience store later on in my journey to get some juice (I have a cold right now, so lots of juice) it hurt just to use the debit machine.
When I got to work, I could still feel the fall, but my wrists were doing better. However, working at a computer all day may not have helped much, and now I'm feeling some pain and numbness at the same time, over eight hours later. Luckily I'm in Canada, so after work (which just ended, yay!) I'm going to see a doctor just to make sure everything's okay, though it likely is.

Anyway, the good news is that my wrists feel fine now and the cold is gone. The doctor recommended some ice and an anti-inflammatory like Advil for the wrists, so I did just that (well, not quite ice but the Magic Bag I keep in my freezer). Dang, that was some bad pain though. Not that I haven't had worse. Or at least, longer lasting.
