…walking to the swimming pool with a student in the 2nd grade, I went backwards to talk to the student. Had seen that there was a bicycle along the wall and knew that I had to turn before it, miscalculated the distance. While the bike was there and I tried to put my left foot in the right place so as not to trip, I tripped. I fell. Lay back straight down into the ground. Hit the coccyx and lower back and probably something more. I couldn’t get up on my own, but I told the student (who looked at me shocked) to catch up with the class, because we were far behind the class.
A colleague came, saw me lying on the ground, and asked if she should help me up. I just said I can’t do dey by myself. She helped me up and into the canteen. But before we went in, I had to call my department head, who was also a substitute swimming teacher that day. Let me know what just happened and that I can’t join. She called another environmental worker. My colleague and I entered the canteen, met the other environmental worker. My colleague who helped me spoke to the other woman. Then the school’s “receptionist and office lady” also came to find the other environmental worker.
At about 10:40am I was in the canteen. Tried sitting on the cushions in the window. But it just didn’t work. Slide down on your knees on the floor. It was the only thing that worked. Then came the migraine. The “office lady” asked if she could help me, so I explained where my bag was, with migraine medicine and what it looked like was. She went, I called my manager for sfo (sfo stands for school and leisure). Told her what just happend, the “office lady” came back with my backpacker. We went up together in the elevator, up to the stafs area. I eat, tryed to call my GP.
Around 12:50pm, after 20 min of que I got hold on the nurse of my GP and got an apointment for the nxt day.
A friend and colleague was informed and she was able to come and pick me up around 1pm at work 💜. I left work in huge pain. Not really able to walk. Werepicked up, managed to both get in and out of the car but it felt like I were 85 or something… nearly home we stopped by the nearest pharmacy 💜.
Got home approxy 1.30pm. The migraine came back while I were in the couch. Slept and it hlpd 🙂. I also managed, even if my pain were high, to make dinner 🙂. And I think I can say, I am thankful that I had a good night sleep.
