Shelly Takes a Fall

Shelly was in the wheel chair today getting ready to wash her hair, when she had a little "incident." When she is in the wheel chair her legs are straight out in front of her. The person helping her was in in the bathroom getting that water ready. So she decided to reach for something down by her feet. Not being used to a wheel chair yet, however, she did not have the wheels locked. So when the weight shifted, the chair tipped toward her legs and down she went.
She has a few aches and pains from the fall. The worst now is in her left wrist and ribs. (Her left wrist has never really stopped hurting from the accident, however, initial x-rays showed it was not broken.)
Shelly's sense of humor bounced back quickly. By the time I found out about it, she said, "Well I can tell you they keep the floors quite clean here!"
