Hi Nicole, Thanks very much for the email. I had a fall last night (see below) but everything's fine. I did send Crystal and Lauren notes via the TH website, and also emailed Nahal with the same message, all around 8:00am. Not sure why they didn't get through.
It's very sore but I'm planning on coming in this afternoon. Kind of in keeping with CELTA - the whole thing's been about overcoming personal limitations, so you can't let a minor thing like painful bruised ribs slow you down. :) I'll call the main number now, let them know. Thank you again for the email!

Hi Crystal and Lauren,
I'm very sorry to say I'll have to miss the Inputs today, and may miss the afternoon sessions too.
I tripped in the bathroom during the night (the lights were off), and landed with my ribs on the side of the tub. (I promise no alcohol or illicit substances were involved. :) ) I think the ribs are probably bruised rather than fractured or broken - there's no trouble breathing, but it's super painful to do any kind of twisting/reaching. I'll go to a City MD this morning to find out what's going on.
If I can make it in this afternoon, I will. I'd hate to not be able to say goodbye to you, the fellow trainees, and the students in person, but if movement stays this limited, it seems the right thing to do. I'll let you know after I see the doctor.
If I need to come in next to make up the hours through observation or whatever, I'm happy to do that.
