well that’s been fun
7 May 2009Exactly a month ago today I fell down the stairs. Four stairs. Four. Unremarkable really, except it HURT LIKE BUGFUCK. FOR A LONG TIME. By the time I had xrays on the 22nd, there was so much blood in my bones that they couldn’t tell if I broke anything or not. Long story. Short version: stupid waiting.
Anyway, I had a MRI done last week and finally saw the ortho today. I broke my leg and had an “extensive” bone bruise that basically made the bone blood filled and swollen.
Someone please let me off the ride already. On the upside: at least it’s a month behind me. On the downside: more weeks of crutch hobbling. Another leg check next week, and maybe then I’ll be cleared for PT.
Someone remind me why I always have exciting things happen to me?
I miss you guys!
What? Could you please stop having all the bad things possible – and impossible happen to you? Poor baby! How’s the healing from the Octo surgery doing? That’s better at least, no?
Ouchie. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Oh, I am so sorry! Were you walking on that broken leg? Ouch!
I broke my ankle last fall and didn’t go to the doctor for 2 days — your story beats mine by a mile!
we miss you too! Get better soon!
OH NO!!!! I am so sorry lady! I feel your pain (literally as I did the same thing, only to my hand [a plate and 5 screws later and a broken tailbone while 9 months prego!]).
We miss you, get well and please rest!
We miss you too!
Hope things are getting better for you – hugs
We miss you, too!
My mom fell on the stairs (she’s not old – she’s a triathlete) and bruised her hip bones enough to put her in BED for 6 WEEKS.
Serious stuff.
Ouch!
Oh no! So sorry for the extra hurt; I hope you get better soon!
Oh, wow! Maybe it’s just your body’s time to get all this stuff behind you! Get better (and stop hurting!) soon!
(maybe I could use another exclamation point in there?)
Gentle hug x
Quick! Into the cotton batting cocoon!
I just found you via Mrspao. What a bl**dy awful time you’ve been having. I’m sending thoughts. I hope the knitting helps you through – do be kind to yourself.
I have a jewel giveaway going on – having your name in the hat might give you a tiny smiley feeling – it would give me one to know you might win a little something.
I hope things get better very soon indeed x
OH NO! I only just saw the photos in your Flickr account. How horrible. Broken bones hurt worse than anything.
