I went down to the basement to get something and l fell. I'm not sure what happened, whether my leg gave out or I momentarily lost consciousness but I fell on a bunch of stuff. I hit my head against a concrete support post and landed on my hand or arm. Now it hurts whenever I tried to turn my hand. I've put a brace on it and can manage hunt and peck with the right hand andtouch withthe left. So forgive any typing errors.

That's scary, maybe you should make a doctor's appointment and find out what is going on.

Gosh are you sure you are okay Barbara?
Why would you lose conscientiousness?

I don't know... low blood pressure maybe. I used to occasionally pass out getting out of bed too quickly when I was a teen.

Thursday will be soon enough. I had a nice sleep and woke up feeling refreshed, though.

I hope you feel better quickly...
May I tell you I'm a bit worried about you now? You might think about making a doctor's appointment and get checked out.

She didn't think I broke my arm. She did send me for some tests: blood draw, urinalysis and an ekg and tomorrow I'm going for some other tests.

@BarBaraPrz No one does, but you did hit your head and injure yourself.

@1creekgirl I might, then again, I might not... I woke up feeling refreshed, anyway and my wrist only hurts when I turn it a certain way.

That does sound like a very nasty fall. Hope your hand is feeling better today and that you didn't break anything.

It wasn't pleasant, anyway. My wrist hurts if I turn it a certain way but otherwise just feels uncomfortable.

Sorry you hurt yourself. Wishing you a quick recovery. I am a left hander and cut vegetables with my left hand.
