Since I know you're all deeply concerned about the state of my (ow) arm --
I am informed by the Medical Professional Du Jour that
- with the possible exception of the feeling faint yesterday, what I'm going through is fairly common (and here, I think, is where my history of light-headedness* makes this normal too).
- it can take up to FIVE DAYS for one of these buggers to stop hurting.
- I must drink lots of fluids.
- I can now alternate heat and ice every couple of hours (I think this is to "fake out" the swelling).
- I must do all my wild international travel within the next ten years so I don't have to do this again. (OK, she didn't say that, but we were all thinking it.)
*Y'know if this was a message board, my friends would pounce all over that -- "NZ has a 'history of light-headedness' -- that explains everything!"

Heh, heh, Treadmill Girl. Anybody who'd put herself into a big ball and roll down a hill has got something wrong with her head.
(Yeah. I just love that thought about the ball. I really hope you survive it, too, because I hate to think that all of this joking is REALLY tempting Fate.)
