Okay ... today is somewhat an unlucky day for me... earlier today well.. I was browsing thru so much of books on the shelf... and then I saw this one book which I wanted to read and refer so much... so reached up and pull it out.. didnt even realised my Medical-Surgical (HARD COVER) book pulled together with it.... and guess what happen next...
YES THAT IS RIGHT!!!!
It landed right on my toes... I tell you its such a painful event that is...
But I didnt want to skip my class... so with my bandaged foot... I head over to class while holding it in... its darn painful.. and I am sure my pain score elevated and b/p spiked up as well as my temperature that is...
So .. the next thing you need to do if you are hit by someone...
1. Ensure the area that affected....
2. If you are at home -- get a pack of ice and wrapped it with a cloth and placed it on the affected area -- rational: a) to make sure if there's an internal bleeding and it can constrict the area so that it'll stop the bleeding b) it helps to reduce swollen.
3. If the pain persist , head to the hospital.. possibility of hairline fracture/soft tissue injury ... so get an x-ray done and ensure that you elevate your leg...
4. elevate affected areas...
5. make sure u drink a cup of water... just to calm down the shock of pain that struck you.
6. If you dont think you can drive... get friends to help you to do so and send you over to the A&E at the nearest hospital.
that is what I did... hope it helps a little...
regards
