Oops, I Did It Again

I fell again today. At work. What the heck?! I am a serious liability! This time I was working with Dr. Fryer, and we were almost finished with some nasty facial fractures. For some reason, we were in tight quarters, with not a lot of space between us and the anesthesiologist and the walls. Dr. Fryer had asked me to get some sponges to start cleaning up the patient's face, but he was between me and the back table (where I keep all the sterile supplies). He was wearing a headlight, which is connected to a portable light source by a fiber-optic cord. The cord was about two feet off the ground, and I decided to try to go over the cord, but my foot must have caught it. I fell forward (again) onto my knees, and hit the wall, taking a set of instruments down with me. I jammed my thumb and mashed my glasses into the wall too. Yeah, I'm pretty gifted and talented that way. I was mostly able to get my glasses un-bent, but they might be done for. I do need to get new ones, so hopefully this will be the impetus to do so. It snowed today. I'm looking forward to the holidays, and I enjoy snow in moderation . . . not so much when I have to drive in it and scrape my car when I come out of work.
