*sigh* And I had to wait 4 hours to be seen. When they finally called me back, it took another hour at least for the doctor to see me. He came it and looked at my arm. "What in the world did you do!?" He asked.
 
So I had to explain...
 
He ordered a few X-Rays and a CT scan for my head.

Turns out I have a concussion, a severe contusion on the muscle on my forearm and I have a jagged break of the Ulna bone (outside of the forearm, right arm) and a hairline fracture of the radius bone (inside of forearm, still my right arm) about midway up my forearm. They had to re-break and set my bone and I am in a 3/4 length cast for at least 6 weeks. If I don't heal properly, surgery is the next option.
 
Ugh...I'm so tired of seeing doctors!
 
But, as the story goes, I'm still hurting pretty bad today. Can't take anything for pain right now. It's alright though. At least I'm getting the royal bedside manner from the hubby ;-)
 
Just thought I would give an update. I'm going to rest now. One-handed typing really takes a lot out of you!

    Holy crap, all that from that fall?  Well I hope you're feeling some better by now and that you've gotten some rest.  Get some more rest while you're at it.
