Reporting to work on Sat Jan 26th, I placed one foot on the linoleum floor of the employee entrance ramp, and went down hard.
Our primitive brain takes over in such situations and puts our strongest limb out to protect our head from injury.
My brain and my right arm did their job, I didn't hit my head, but broke both the bones in my forearm at the wrist.
Housekeeping had hosed down the floor of the employee entrance ramp, and had no wet floor signs up or traction mats down.
After housekeeping heard that I fell and was INJURED the executive housekeeper and the assistant executive housekeeper hastily put up signs and put down mats.
I'm in a splint for now because the swelling is too great to cast it, but the occupational health doc said today that i can work left handed....
My parents and friends say I need a lawyer to sue my employer.
My brother and my boyfriend say I shouldn't sue unless they don't take care of me.
I'm just trying to manage the pain, and get the swelling down.
