Still here - Fall experience
May 09, 2019
Yes, the blog is still here, just haven’t had a lot to say.
I fell last Thursday. Was cleaning, pant leg got caught on a dog cage and I went down, hard on my knee.
One of my Facebook / beagle friends wanted to know why I didn’t go to the ER. Well, I have to be bleeding before I enter that particular hell.
And bleeding uncontrollable.
I fell in the late afternoon, it got where I couldn’t walk by the time the doctor’s office closed, so I waited until the next day.a
Okay, I was hoping I would wake up and be fine, but I was worse.
Went in, had xrays, nothing broken, an injury an orthopedic surgeon couldn’t fix. He ordered physical therapy and I had to wait until Wednesday.
I was slowly getting better but still wasn’t walking by the time of the appointment.
Great visit, did a lot to help and I’m walking but limited to a few steps. Even using the rolling walker means short distances. I still hurt.
I didn’t mention this, but I should: husband brought me crutches and I took one look at them and realized it wasn’t happening. I sent him to Walmart for a rollator (rolling walker) and it does rock.
