Don’t think this quite counts as self injury, though I have nobody but myself to blame. Thursday morning I fell off a ladder at work good 15-18” to the cement floor. Mild sprain to my left ankle, wrenched my left knee, tweaked both wrists (mostly my left), really banged up my left shoulder and of course smacked my head real good giving me a mild concussion. Went to the unguent care, the Doctor said I was very luck (lucky you not everyone gets to fall off a ladder). He found no major damage, but said I would be sore for a few days.
Then today, I decided to really put myself out there, among my many issues is social phoba. I volunteered to “Habitat for Humanity” they do good work, I used to build houses in the summer when I was a kid, thought it might make a nice deposit in my Karma account. I was feeling better but moving a bit slower, while being careful of my left ankle I twisted my right one not once but twice, and smacked my thumb with a hammer.
Just griping mostly, after nearly a week without SI I can’t seem to avoid hurting myself one way or another.
