Note to self

[annathepiper]

When desperately running to overtake the bus that has just pulled into the stop ahead of you so that you don't have to wait another half hour for the next one, do not pull a muscle on the front side of your left thigh. Especially on days when you've already been feeling groggy from random sleep and possibly also anti-allergy meds as well.

Ouch. That's as bad as pulling a muscle in one's butt.

*syupathises*

Ouchies... hope you're ok... done that pulling muscle bit already, and it's not pleasant..

Erf! You didn't end up falling and hurting yourself worse, did you? that's as bad as having a hamstring knot up, or a Charley Horse in the middle of a good stretch.

Hon, next time you're thinking of doing something like this please call me and let me talk you out of it.

Sorry you're hurting though :-( Hope you feel better soon!

It's also very bad to have the bus doors close on one's knapsack as one gets off the bus and worse if the reason one was moving so slowingly as to be caught that way was because one is on crutches. It is very challenging to run sideways on crutches.

*winces in return at the very thought of that* Haven't done that, fortunately! Thanks for the sympathies, though. ^_^

Well, "okay" in the sense of "ow, my leg hurt". It's still somewhat sore several hours after the fact, but after liberal application of a heating pad and some stretching, it's improving.

I did not, fortunately, fall. Though it was a bit of a question before I actually wound up catching the bus.

[annathepiper]

*giggle* Well, it was kind of a spur of the moment thing, you know? Pretty much prompted by "OH SHIT THERE'S MY BUS!" and a mad dash down the slope. ;)

Still kind of sore after some rest, heating pad goodness, and stretching, but feeling rather better. :)

[annathepiper]

Yowtch! Never had to do that, thankfully. Never got caught in the door either while I had my broken arm.

have you tried an application of tiger-balm or dragon balm to it? usually works wonders with me...

[annathepiper]

...... I have not yet! And that's actually a good idea. I should still have some upstairs somewhere, I think. Thanks.

anytime... i know what works for me, doesnt hurt to offer it to another aching soul...

[annathepiper]

*smiles* Well, my soul is fine, it's just the leg that's a little sore. Tiger Balm has now been applied, so hopefully that problem shall be taken care of in a bit.

:-p Here's to less achiness shortly.. :)

Ah, one of the bones I have _not_ yet broken.

[annathepiper]

I've only had the one thus far, and that was quite enough. Broke the humerus in my right arm clean through!

How many have you broken?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

Four in my left hand, three ribs, three in my right foot, my right thumb, the bone in my back and my nose (Cards, car accident, horse, reading mishap, tobogan mishap, muffin&cat-related mishap).

I also managed to put my crushed fingers in the way of window within 12 hours of crushing them.

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

The last bone in my back, I mean. The tailbone. My back has more than one bone.

[annathepiper]

Holy crap. I'm almost afraid to ask how you managed to break your thumb while reading!

And that's a stunning array of breakages. I do not envy it!

Why don't I not hijack your LJ and put the explanations for each on mine LJ instead?
