Today's dysfunction actually happened last night, however, I am still feeling the effects of it today so it counts. Last night I hurt my wrist. How did I do this? By getting up off the couch.
Yeah, I know you're jealous. It takes a special kind of talent to hurt your arm in the process of standing up...and I? Am so totally that talented!
It was a very strange series of events that I'm still not exactly sure how it all happened. I went to stand up and put my hand on the arm of the couch. For some reason I had my hand fist down instead of palm down. As I was about halfway up my wrist suddenly gave out bending under and forcing a good portion of my weight onto it. About a split second after that, I have no idea why, my right knee gave out, thus forcing almost all of my weight onto my bent under wrist. I almost fell to the floor on my ass at that point, but somehow managed to catch myself enough on my injured arm to allow my working left leg to get under me so I could stand up. It was one of those really fast, but happening in slow motion, couldn't do it again if you tried kind of things.
So now I have strained muscles from pretty much my knuckles to my elbow...all from standing up.

you are quite talented Amanda ;-)
We must have had the same sensei. My particular talent is falling up a flight of stairs. My mother can abandon all logical though and make weird squawking sounds and her big finale is breaking both of her ankles. It's like being carnie folk only worse. you're one of us.
