13: je tombe

Yesterday I fell. I have very poor balance at best, and walked like a drunken pirate long before Johnny Depp ever internationalized the gait, but the thing about being a dizzy person is that you get very good at catching yourself. Though I trip and stumble almost every time I move, I rarely fall. But yesterday I did, and I am worried that I might have done considerable damage to my wrists. They were pained to begin with — tendinitis, one of the common hazards of studentship — but now — O, there is no comparison. My right wrist is definitely sprained, and I am doing paranoid internet research about breaks.

I’ll need an amanuensis if it isn’t better tomorrow or the next day! I have papers to write (one to do now) and this post, my typing test, has proven the activity unbearable.
