At work the other night sorting out the box trailer for loading hanging straps at the back and moving the load boards /bars to the rear of the trailer and I inadvertently steeped on one . After pirouetting doing the splits and sliding about 10ft I landed flat on my back … ( Must have looked quite funny seeing a large driver doing all that in one swift movement ) .
Well I get taken to the local A&E as I’ve given my arm a right bash and cant rotate it or lift it above chest height.
Had an xray etc and given the looks like its just torn ligaments and bruising. sent home with an appointment for the next day (Fri) with the orthopaedic out patients.
Fri I get to see the consultant and I’m Buggered I’ve a fracture and Radial movement damage
Now waiting for a ultrasound xray followed by another appointment.
Been told it’ll be at least 6 sodding weeks before I can drive the truck and a min 4 / 5 weeks for the car .
And yeah it’s the right arm and yeah I’m right handed .
I kid you not if you’ve never had to lose the use of your good arm its a ■■■■■even for the simple task of having a cuppa.
