I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I can relate because I broke my ankle this past winter on ice and then fell the next day in the kitchen trying to do things I knew i couldn't do. It's so hard to sit and let others do for you. I hope everything is all right and you didn't do any damage. Take care of your self and let us know how you're making out.

WOW, so very sorry to hear that.  Please take care of yourself and keep us posted.

I am sorry to hear that you reinjured your leg that you had repaired.  Please keep us posted and take care of yourself.

  :(Hope you get better soon! A couple months ago I fell on a Wednesday, waited to go to the ER til Sunday because my right leg was hurting really bad.After they took x-rays the Doc Came in and told me my left leg was broke. I had been walking on a broken leg all that time, and didn't know it! That was also the first time any bones where broken.

oh wow..be careful with those steps..take care of yourself...please keep us posted...

[sak4kat]

Oh no - you were probably just to getting where you felt a little more like yourself too huh?  I'm so lucky in that I've never had any broken bones.  Sprained ankles, surgery on my foot and a few births is all for me.  I remember sliding down the steps like a toddler does on there bottom when I sprained my ankles.  I was in my teens and early 20's when that happened and I can't imagine attempting stairs with crutches.  I hope the fall hasn't caused any damage.

i am so sorry..think positive and you'll be better in no time

[betlynjua]

Oh dear.  Please be extra careful.  I wish you a speedy recovery.  Sometimes when we injure ourselves, we have to make a conscious effort to tell ourselves to watch every step taken.  I know it sounds a little corny but it does help.

So sorry for your tumble! Just a thought, when ever one of the family managed to bust up a leg, knee, ankle, foot or hip (which soccer assured to be often) we set up space on the ground floor for the injured one. It was not all that convenient but it was worth the hassle. Re-visiting a doctor or ER was a lot more inconvenient.

Might try to keep to the lower levels until you are more ambulatory...

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon. So sorry

[Penwoir]

Oh my goodness, that sounds terrible. I hope you're much better now, or at least on the road to getting better. My poor mum had a similar occurrence. She was walking her dog who was pulling somewhat on the lead. The dog pulled her over a pothole, she fell down in it then couldn't walk and had to call her neighbor to come and collect her. She ended up in hospital for many weeks having steel pins put into her ankle. She's great now, but it took a long time. Good luck to you.

Hope you get to feeling better. I know it is hard not to do things when you are so used to be doing them. Please be careful going up and down the stairs.
