I had a closing yesterday and after having to maneuver through all the kid toys on the floor in the living room and steer clear of the growling little dog, I totally missed seeing the wine cork laying there on the hardwood floor and managed to step right on it and go sailing across the room landing face first into the dining room table which then started sliding across the hardwood floor as I continued to fall and I eventually came crashing down to the floor in a twisted heap. Pain everywhere, loan documents all over the floor, my handbag spilled out on the floor. The young homeowners are mortified, the children don't know quite what to make of what just happened, and the sweet little baby . . . well he was just about as sweet as they come.
Mrs. Borrower rubbed my back, asked me where it hurt, was concerned about my arm, and even more concerned if I had broken my leg because it was twisted in such a peculiar fashion. She asked if she needed to call 911 and I was able to tell her no. I was finally able to pick myself up off the floor, I was shaking, and I was in a huge amount of pain but the show must go on. The young homeowners offered me water and an ice pack and somehow we got through 25 minutes of pure torture and got the loan closed.
I managed to get two more closings done and came home and went to bed. I woke up at 2:30 a.m. in excruciating pain in my left arm and I am unable to lift my arm. I don't want to make a big deal out of this . . . but it kind of is a big deal. My cousin who is a nurse talked to me over the telephone, and my EMT neighbor came over this morning and checked me over. Based on the symptoms that I am showing, my EMT neighbor said that I have more than likely dislocated my shoulder.
Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else and now what? Thank you. I'm going back to my ice and advil and will try to get in somewhere tomorrow to get checked out. |
