Scooter Shenanigans

By Carrie on November 20, 2007

Hello all. I have to take a break from writing just for a day or two. I was hit by a scooter last week while walking home from work. The driver managed to knock me on my ass and when I fell, I hit my head and shoulder against the curb. I thought I was okay, but over the last couple of days, my right shoulder has really been bothering me. I can barely lift my arm. I haven’t been able to carry my purse, and I can barely keep my arm up to type. I figure the smart thing to do is give it a rest. I’ll be back in full force in a few days. I promise!

    That sucks. I’ve managed to avoid scooter accidents, but was once hit by a bicycle as I stepped off a bus. The peddle hit me in the back of my calf. I couldn’t walk right for a few days.

    Maybe your shoulder needs a cupping session? Might work wonders.

    I am just catching up on reading blogs. I am sorry to hear that you were hurt. I hope you are feeling better now. You still might want to go and get your shoulder checked out though. It is better to be safe than sorry. Soft tissue injuries take awhile to heal.
