So last Thursday I worked my 1st day shift in over a month. One of my residents is w/c bound and very hard to transfer. Mid-afternoon I was transferring her and she fell to the ground. The boss' son drove down to help me get her back up. Then I was transferring her again a few minutes later and she went dead weight on me and fell right onto my right wrist! I have HORRIBLE tendinitis and when she came down I heard large POP! I screamed and the son came in and got her while I ran into the bathroom and popped my wrist back in. I was scared to call my boss but after about 30 minutes of crying hysterically I called and she had someone come relieve me.
The next few days the pain went up and down. By Sunday I knew I had to get it looked at so I went to the ER. They did an X-ray and it turns out theres a crack in my wrist :( Also my tendinitis is apparently much worse than it was before and she could feel the lumps on my tendon by just gently pressing on them...YIKES! I have an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Thursday so hopefully there will be good news there!
