Walked Into a Door Frame :(

So yesterday when I got out of bed, I walked into a door frame, which knocked my new Freestyle Libre sensor off the adhesive. :(

You can see it sticking up a bit in this picture.
I honestly never ever notice myself hitting door frames unless I have a Libre sensor on, then it seems like it happens all the time.  I've never hit it so hard that it's knocked the sensor off the adhesive before though!

I tried to push the sensor back onto the adhesive, but I guess when I hit the door frame the sensor got pulled out of my arm.  I left it on for about an hour, but every time I tried getting a reading with the monitor, I was told "Glucose unavailable. Please try again in 10 minutes."  I eventually pulled it off my arm, and sure enough, the sensor was bent.


To make everything worse, after less than a day with this sensor on, I could already see the beginnings of a skin rash. :(

It's faint but it's there.
In light of that, I decided to put the Clobetasol on a day before and an hour before putting the next sensor in (I'll be putting the new sensor on soon).  Hopefully I won't walk into any door frames with this one!!!
