hey sabby, that is what i did too...i was roller skating and tried to stop my fall...but then i guess i was going too fast for my own good and broke my wrist in two places and my pinky in several places too...so i was totally holding my wrist very gingerly and the rink employees called the ambulance...but i refused to go there, and so my friend took me down to the hospital...they put me out to bring the bones together again...and even though i was out she said she still heard me from out in the waiting room...i think i would rather fall in the mud than try to stop myself from falling ever again...and my dr said that my bone scan said i was 55% healthier in terms of my bones than the rest of the females of my age...hmmm...i don't know if that is good or not...maybe not...LOL...sigh...
