She told this story on Reddit:Lore on the two broken elbows?

Something similar happened to me on the subway too, except there were no witnesses, and that's the way I want to keep it.
I was in a hurry. I had to get to Penn Station to visit home for Easter, and I was running desperately late—late enough to possibly miss my train. In my frenzy, while making my way to the A train pulling up downstairs, I didn't notice that I'd swung my suitcase in front of my feet. I tripped, and I was airborne, flying down the staircase. With my feet trapped, I landed on and promptly broke both of my elbows.
Well...that's what I tell everyone. That's what I told the flummoxed doctors at the hospital. That's what I told my friends. I endured countless hours of teasing over whether I knew how to use stairs.
But I didn't break my elbows on the stairs. It's far more embarrassing than that. I broke them on the fucking turnstile.
How was I supposed to admit that my grown ass could fuck up so bad at a fucking turnstile that I break both of my elbows? Could I really by that absentminded? Besides, who would believe me? Who the fuck breaks both of their elbows from a fucking turnstile?
I did, and not a soul knows. No one was there to witness it except for the little black security camera I saw beaming down at me the first moment I looked up. My worst nightmare is someone going through the MTA's footage and pulling up that shit.
April 14th at the north entrance of West 4th Station. Have fun.


Unrelated, but here's a funny new comment from Victoria:

r/cfs is the "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" subreddit, btw.Exercise only helped after I radically rested for years. And I’m talking slowly making a lap in a walker around a building. Doing some light stretching. Nothing that gets your heart rate up.
