Broke My Leg

Hi friends, hope you’re all doing well. Broke my leg, last 2 steps walking down the stairs. Still can’t explain the fall, felt like someone tripped me. And I’m not even a “faller.” Landed all twisted up, had to pick up a left leg that looked like it was in a car accident, and somehow straighten it before going to Urgent Care. Next day was ER with Dad. I broke my upper fibula, one of the calf bones. Unbearable pain, still. This happened Sunday afternoon, I just ran back downstairs because I forgot my coffee. Found my head against the wall, not even understanding why I was laying on the steps in such a strange position. No warning. I believe it’s the evil of this house, but nobody will believe ME. Hey that’s fine. My life is nothing right now. Every little thing I could do before, impossible now. My legs are my favorite thing, only because I love to walk so much. I think I’ve gone thru 50 pedometers in my lifetime. I’m almost completely immobile, Dad has to help me to the bathroom (embarrassed much?) Yes. Mom and uncle coming home from Florida early. The only thing getting me thru this awful ordeal is a song. I kinda fell in love with it a couple weeks ago, don’t know why because it’s not even a 90’s song. It just speaks to me. Everyone thinks it’s the guy, like I’m hot for the artist or something. Well, he does have crazy eyes and I do luvs me some crazy. But no. It’s not him. It’s the song. I’ll attach it. At 4:17 there’s an audience take-over like I’ve never seen before. And I’ve seen a lot. Talk soon, don’t ever let yourself get into this situation. You lose all your freedom and independence and have to rely on others. I hate every second of it. Keep an eye on every step you take. Love you guys https://youtu.be/Mo0cMBwQMn0

I'm so sorry. In my past, I've broken both feet and my leg. It was so hard to just sit, I am not used to that, and I know the pain is terrible. I hope you have enough help and it heals quickly!!

What a traumatic experience, I do hope that you heal both physically as well as emotionally soon. Allowing yourself to heal will slow you down, better now-if there is a better time, while the weather is still cold than when it gets nicer out.

I can almost relate. I tumbled down our front steps a few days ago only they kept me in the hospital running test after test. Scraped some of my scalp loose and have stitches and a big bandage on my head that Pretty has to change and clean my scalp every morning until it heals. I scraped a long strip down my right leg and it itches all the time. At least they gave me some good pain meds. Hope you feel better soon.

That's awful. I'm so sorry. I hope it heals quickly. It looks like it was a hot and humid Brisbane night there.

I couldn't imagine myself falling from the stair without a warning. I didn't hurt my leg but I worry much because that happened after my surgery and is still recovering. Only my back and butt hurts the after effect of the fall. Hope you soon recover.
