Turkeygirl Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 So my class was out on the ropes course and it was my turn, being 2nd to last, to go on the high element which involved balanced on two different wire elements to hooking into a huge rope and swinging off a platform. Well as I went for the swing down, my foot slipped out of the loop in the rope so I was only clipped in which was good but was hanging on for life with my hands. My hands finally hurt so bad i had to let go and just swing until they got the ladder. So my right hand really hurt after that and I thinked I sprained my right hand, so I checked with the trainer and got some ice. It's going to be tought because I have lifeguard recertification tonight and a paper to type, but I emailed the prof.to see if it was ok to turn it in late if i don't get it done. Well I feel better after the adrenaline rush on the ropes course, but my hand isn't too happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Ouch! My day just got tougher OUCH ..that sounds painful You have to take better care of yourself. All these little injuries come back to haunt you when you get older. Hope it's not too serious. Sometimes you can't tell until the nest day.

Turkeygirl Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Ouch! My day just got tougher Yeah, it might be stiff tomorrow, who knows! The trainer told me to take drugs,lol, and ice so that's about all I can do.

Turkeygirl Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Ouch! My day just got tougher LOL. I probably won for most creative effort. It was all fun and good, unless you forget you are self belayed in to a rope and forget you can let go of a rope without falling,lol.

wtnhunt Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Ouch! My day just got tougher Dont remember reading about any other injuries here lately, thought maybe you were getting away from being so accident prone. Be careful out there Ruth. Hope your hand gets feeling better and that you are able to get through your recert ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Re: Ouch! My day just got tougher Hey, it was the initiatives professor who chose this element for us today,lol, the rope just didn't cooperate. I did make it through recertifying. Taped my hand up best I could. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
