Oh so clumsy!

For those who know me, you'll probably already know i'm one of the clumsiest people you will ever meet.
I have been however, extremely lucky that since I arrived here in Florida over 3 months ago, i've been extremely lucky and have avoided any injury even although I have tripped and fallen over numreous times...

...Well last night my luck finally ran out and and last night I actually hurt myself. I was at work climbing out of a boat at the end of the night, when I lost my footing. I thought i'd managed to catch myself before I landed but I didnt, I managed to fall, scraping my shin, as I fell between the boat and the dock. It hurt like a b***h and I hate to complain but last night I had no choice. I scraped up my leg pretty bad, so my co-ordinator had to call an alpha unit (fancy work for first aid) to come clean up my leg. There wasnt any blood and I was lucky enough not to go in the river but i've been advised that it might be wise to get a tetanus shot, just incase I do got in the water and my leg gets infected. Fun huh?

Well, i'm about to head of to Health services to see about this tetanus shot, what a fun day i'll have before I have to go back to work for another fun day at Jungle!!
