Feeling like Humpty Dumpty

I have or actually as of today HAD a Rolator Walker. I say as of today I HAD one..the left front wheel fell off while I was sitting on it. I toppled over on my hip. So now I have a nice Purple blob on the side of my hip.
Have been having problems keeping the wheel tightened and I heard a cracking sound, looked down and saw it was cracked where the adjustment wheel was. I leaned over to see and the wheel came completely off. I was down before I even realized what wast happening, but I made sure I protected my wrist.
I found something to hold on to so I could get up off the garage floor. It hurts, but not real bad unless I walk or sit down..once I sit down, it only hurts when I touch the bruised part. I guess it isn't broken since I have walked on it most of the day. Took an 800mg Ibprofen earlier..been putting off taking another one until closer to bedtime. I don't like taking more than 2 a day.
Tom fixed supper. He took the leftover steak..cut it into bits..added onion, and we put the steak/onion on the leftover tortillas and added cheese and Pico de Gallo. Pretty good. Hoping I am not in a lot of pain tomorrow. I really need to go to the grocery.
I ordered a new walker today from Walgreens. I had enough money in my Paypal acct from picking the right numbers on a youtube channel to pay for it.

That’s awful. I hope all you have is a bruise.

My goodness! I hope you feel better soon. My rollator is extra heavy duty; so it should be OK.

Mine was heavy duty about 20 years ago. When my customer gave me mine, it was already Old and that was over 15 years ago. Stuff wears out..just like People.
