Narrative

She felt like the injury occurred while moving things out of the way to be able to sweep and clean properly in the shop. While doing the cleaning there was only some aching feeling just from sweeping a lot and grabbing and pulling things around. The real pain and swelling did not occur until later in the day when she woke up. Her hand was hurting so she went to the emergency room.
