New MT graduate-fell at work-broken bone!


Posted: Aug 28, 2011

New graduate-MT-

I fell at work tripping over  a plastic carpet runner, resulting in a broken bone in my shoulder.  Was still in the process of testing for part time employment, so guess this will have to wait 6 weeks or so.

I would greatly appreciate prayers! 

Also, prayers are requested for the Hurricane Irene destruction!

;

I hope you reported it so you can get compensation - lka

Even though you are a student I would think they would have workers comp. They should at least have liability insurance to cover such things.

I have renter's insurance and if somebody tripped in my apartment I think my insurance should cover it.

Anyone Else Dealing With Plantar Fasciitis And Bone Apr 09, 2016
I have had a bone spur for years but it hasn't bothered me until lately.  Went to the orthopedist and yes, there is a bone spur but he thinks the problem is more plantar fasciitis.  Now my heel and arch are killing me when I walk, and just in the past 2 days my ankle and the inside of my lower leg has been aching and very painful.  I can hardly walk, and I found I have to wear my shoes for support even when I am in the house just to be able to walk with less pain.  I nev ...

Obama Has Not Right To Tell Scott Walker To Bone Up On Foreign PolicyApr 08, 2015
He hasn't done a good job at foreign policy himself. In response to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s criticism of his Iran policy, President Obama suggested that the presumed candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination “bone up on foreign policy.”   In other words, anyone who disagrees with the president on Iran’s nuclear program, or any other national security issue, is just not knowledgeable enough to understand. Of course, there is a very ...

I Fell Down My Stairs The Other Day...Oct 17, 2009
                    I'm fine now, just had a very sore neck for a couple of days and some bruises. I got a head CT and a c-spine x-ray, both were negative.     I was headed upstairs to my office, near the top, when my knee just gave out on me. When I realized I was going to fall, I rolled up into a ball and shifted left toward the nearer wall. Then i ended up doing a series ...

Who Fell Asleep First On Your Wedding Night?Oct 29, 2009
DH was watching something on TV and I overheard them saying something about superstitions.  Apparently, the spouse who falls asleep first on your wedding night is the one who will die first.  I don't remember for sure but I think my hubby did 'cause I'd never been to Charleston, SC and wanted to stay up enjoy more wine on the balcony.      ...

I'm The Queen Of Klutz! Tripped And Fell OnNov 30, 2014
Oh, my gosh.  Have you guys ever tripped and fallen in public and tried to pretend that everything was fine?    My teenage son and I were at the checkout lane at Meijer.  My back was killing me from walking on concrete so long while shopping, so my son said to go sit on a bench and he'd unload the carts.  (Yes, there were 2.)  I proceeded to walk over to the bench when suddenly a guy to my left turned around at the same time, and I tripped over his foot and we ...

Broken ToeDec 23, 2009
I ran into a vacuum cleaner this morning when I was walking fast down my hallway and think I broke my little toe.  It hurt like the dickens then, but I've done that lots before and figured it would stop hurting shortly.  It has not stopped.  It is continuing to ache deeply and I can't bear weight.  It's blue in color and swollen, but not swollen very much.  I don't think there's anything a doctor will do for a broken toe.  What does anyone s ...

What To Do With A Broken Illinois:Jun 22, 2017

But before we run out of the essentials, let's finally admit that after decade upon decade of taxing and spending and borrowing, Illinois has finally run out of other people's money.

Broken Arms From Patting ThemselvesApr 09, 2011

My cat has been gone for three days and I'm not having a good feeling about his return.  Don't know how to tell my 10yo of Pete's possible demise. Then, a simple cheese cracker breaks my tooth -- nice.  Just gets better and better. I sort of feel like working to take my mind of ...

Another Broken Trump PromiseNov 14, 2016
The beauty of Trump "policy"--You can just take a different side to an issue to suit whatever your purpose is whenever you want to.  Totally brilliant, don't you think? I am not sure what the religious right will think, though, now that Trump is distancing himself from taking away the rights of gay people.   During the campaign, Trump told social conservatives to “trust” him to oppose same-sex marriage, said he would “strongly consider” appointing U.S. Sup ...
