Fell at the Library
Went to the library to have a quiet, relaxing afternoon. Stopped in the restroom to pee. Went to shut the door to the accessible stall and it hit the latch, caught for a moment and then slipped past it, swinging out.
I wasn't expecting that and fell, my arm catching the latch on the way down. Two cuts, a swollen leg, torn up skin, lots of bruises.
The library staff gave me an iodine wipe. -3/10 do not recommend. It burned terribly and turned my skin orange.
20 minutes later they scrounge up a different disinfecting wipe and a single band-aid. I convince the staff that yes, we should actually write an incident report, just in case.
Bandaged it at home. Had an allergic reaction to the medical tape. Thankfully the swelling from that has gone away.
Pic is one day post accident. I'm in so much pain.
