Bad Day at Black Rock...err Kennett

[valarltd]

Things were actually fine in Black Rock.

But in Kennett, we had the Load from Hell, almost 200 pieces, plus hundreds of unmanifested ones.

Then as I was getting down, I fell. As in Fell OFF the Lift gate. That's about 4' off the ground for non-drivers.

265lbs of Angel. 4' off the ground. Asphalt.

Yeah.

I have a badly twisted ankle, a strained neck, where I did manage to let go of a handrail before I dislocated my shoulder, and I took a chunk of skin off the point of my elbow. I left a puddle of blood somewhere about the same diameter as a soda can on the asphalt.

I went to the doc-in-the-box when I got home. Xray, clean and bandage. I'll be all right. Nothing broken, just a lot of bruising.


I've been terrified of falling off the liftgates since I started this job. Now I know how it feels and I'm even more afraid of it. William said I screamed all the way down.

OMG! I'm glad you are okay. Shit!

Lighting a pink candle and sending healing energy. Thank goodness it wasn't any worse. I hope you take a nice long hot bath.

Sorry that this is going to make you even more afraid of the liftgates.

(((HUG)))

Oh crap. :( Glad it wasn't more serious. I hope to hell your worker's comp covers the doc-in-a-box. Get better!
