div.yiv1349879336WordSection1 {}-->As the subject line says there is always
excitement in this household. I went to school just like any other day this
morning. No problems through my first class. Then I get to my second class
location and was heading inside when bam out of nowhere I step in a hole or my
cane went in a hole and I fell to the ground. In the process of falling to the
ground my cane broke in half. I got up and thought well I am fine, so I go
ahead and head inside. As I stood around waiting on my next class the pain and
throbbing of the joints and muscles started to set in. I called Amanda to have
her bring me my cane because she is only interning on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
only open position for internship, so she was available to bring me my back up
cane. While waiting on Amanda to arrive, where I wait is right beside my
Professor’s office, my Professor came into her office and I told her I may be
late to class due to the fall and my cane breaking. She of course asked if I
was ok and at the time I was stoved up, but not in a pain that was unbearable.
So, she went on in her office and the pain continues to intensify so I ask her
if she has a chair. She gets me a chair. She says she is going to notify her
department head and the disability office regarding the incident. I tell her
ok, thankyou. So, Amanda arrives, I get my new cane and head downstairs to
class. By the time I am having trouble navigating the stairs due to the pain
shooting through my leg. However, I make it to the bottom and my class is
straight across from the stairs. My Professor arrives and comes up to me
telling me she received an email back from both the disability office as well
as her department head who both recommended that I go to the student health
center. I am glad that I did. However, before I gt ahead of myself. I inquired
as to whether the campus police can escort me over there so I can avoid taking
the steps again back up. She said they should be able to do this. Well, I go to
the office and wait. One of the ladies in the office informs me after getting
off the phone with the campus police that the police cannot escort me over to
the student health center due to liability. So, I begin to ask her if she can
help me get back to the doors by elevator because the only way I have oriented
is the steps on this level so I had no clue. About this time the department
head walks out of her office and inquires about the campus police situation.
She is overtly disgusted over this situation and says she will be making some
phone calls to question this when she got back to her office . In the meantime
though she offered to take me over to the student health clinic and we arrived
without problems. So, I am seen and the doctor orders 3 different X-Rays. He
wanted an X-Ray of my writs, my knee, and my ankle and shin. This was a bit
painful for sure and the X-Ray tech kept apologizing. So, the outcome of the
X-Rays shows no recent breaks at this time the doctor says, but once he has the
radiologist look at it he will send me an email. He said I am definitely stoved
up and have some sprains i.e. the wrist and the ankle. He has put my ankle in a
boot and he would have liked to put me on crutches, but he said he has never
had to put someone who is visually impaired on crutches and wondered how that
was done. I have never been on crutches since going blind so I had no idea. So
we decided to forego the crutches and just went with the ace bandage and boot
to secure my ankle in place. He prescribed some muscle relaxers that he said I
probably only want to take at night because of the fact it will make me sleepy.
He also prescribed Aleve for the inflammation and suggest to get the back to
unlock that Amanda massage the blood back into my back because he believes that
it has just locked up. He said if I continue to have any problems to come back
and he will put my wrist in a splint. Right now I am scheduled to go to their
sports management office to see if they recommend anything else here in a
couple of weeks. He said that if everything has returned to normal then I can
cancel the appointment. So, now Amanda is having to make her third trip to the
campus today and this time it is to take me home with her. This boot is really
annoying, but had I had to have crutches I would have probably just talked to
my classes about having online courses for the rest of the semester *LOL*. I
hate the cane snapped and was surprised that the disability office did not have
one to loan out for emergency use.
