stuff and ouchie
this morning was going perfectly fine and then i hit a near-invisible patch of wet leaves coming out of the mcd's parking lot and fully wiped the fuck out on the scooter in the road. scooter went one way, i went the other way and slid on the road
i'm fine, just got the wind knocked out of me - landed on my chest/front and thankfully was wearing my big wool jacket which i think helped cushion the fall (and kept me from getting all road-grodey RIGHT BEFORE WORK). button got ripped off my coat, but can be sewn back on at least
right arm is sore b/c i did hit the ground with it first. right knee/shin, as well. but mostly just lightly battered by the fall lol. might've pinched or rattled a nerve in my arm, my pinky and ring finger are pretty sore and kinda tingly now and then. i'm gonna keep an eye on it and see if it improves or gets worse over the next day or two. if it's feeling sketchy, i'll have to hit up the ER or something since we're without medicaid atm!!! but everything is moving normally otherwise so i think it's just a pinch. feels like my funny bone was whacked for the most park (i remember using my hand to help me fall, but i might've also landed a bit on my arm, can't quite remember)
THENNNN on the way to work the scooter decides to just 'hmmm feels like maintenance mode time!!!' halfway there, so i had to walk and find a second one, but thankfully there was one just down at the circle k on the next block
either way, frustrating!!! i spent all autumn being careful with the leaf piles/leaves in the road b/c i KNEW how slippery they could be for something like a bike or scooter and this patch was nearly invisible. if i'd been going straight i probably would've been okay, but i was turning out of the drive
