laura_seabrook | Accident

I was at university chasing up people for a leave of absence, and had an accident.

I tripped over the edge of the path just outside of NUSA. I was having trouble with my knee earlier and didn't walk the dog like I usually do. This is two days in a row that I've fallen and twisted my left ankle (the same side I have a spur on my heel). Underneath the knee was grazed and I was in shock more than anything else. It was embarrassing - security guards came running, got a wheelchair, and took me to the medical centre. I had a cold compress on my ankle (which had gone numb and swollen up) and then had it bandaged and the grazing dressed (with some really neat plastic thing) and a Tetanus shot. Then I got wheeled over to NUSA at my request.

Can walk, but it's painful. Came home on the bus and took my time walking (hobbling) down the street. Stayin' home tomorrow.
