5. I slipped while on the second landing in stairwell.
It was my fault really, not paying attention.

7. Great advice! I've been doing

a lot of that lately for various and sundry hurts.

I slammed my finger in a sliding door at work and immediately put it in frozen peas since I couldn't find the Ice-Gel in our freezer. And then, I wrapped it tightly in a bandaid cause it was bleeding profusely..so I thought afterwards that that was 1/2 of RICE.:)

8. I hate it when I hurt one of my fingers.........
you suffer for days, and it hurts every time you need to pick up something......old stupid saying: One thing about PAIN... it feels better when it quits hurting!!!

4. Hope you filed a record of it with your company in case you have to
go on disability because of that.

6. Yes but it was just a sprain so I am not going to be disabled.
The x-rays show a soft tissue injury.
