Yesterday my worst nightmare came true. I took a very bad fall in my dining room and couldn't get up. The hip joint is shot and my leg gave out on me.
Was reaching for my nice clean jeans that were still warm from the dryer. Was getting ready to go down to the drugstore to pick up my vicodin. One second, I'm standing and the next was kissing the floor with my face. My dining room chair fell too, as I tried to grab hold of it. So there I am looking like a beached whale, screaming in pain and couldn't move. Scared the stuffing out of my roomie. Had to call the paramedics as I was afraid that I had fracture something. It took a while for them to get me up and on my walker. As I stood there the pain shot through me and they very slowly walked me to my chair. Going to the ER wasn't a option as there wasn't much that they could do for me. I told the medics that I'm waiting for a approval to get my hip replaced as it's gone. So here I sit, vicdin by my side and walker near by. I'm bruised and sore in several places.
The one thing that I thought as I laid there on the floor was,"boy do I need to run the dust rag under that china hutch to pick up all of those dust bunnies!!!!"
AH, what Mr. Arthritis doesn't do to us.

So sorry for your fall Marisa. I fear falls as well, and have done my fair share.
Yes, I hate the dust bunnies lurking in quiet places.
Marisa - if I could, I would bring you lunch and have a great afternoon laughing and help get your mind off something so terrible to have to go through. Your fear is my fear, so I wish you the best of luck and lots of huggles ~~ Cathy PS I would go kill the dust bunnies too, just because.
Morning, Marisa! How are you feeling today?Thanks for the laughs and positive thoughts.
Today, I'm feeling better. Can't believe where I'm bruised. The tip of my nose has this nice blue glow to it!!! I'm going to sit and do things that way. I'm not going to push it.
On Tuesday, I've got my ortho doc's appointment and I'm going to ask him how soon can we get this hip done. I want to be able to take a step w/o having pain shoot through me.
Cathy, lunch sounds like fun. I miss going out and doing things.
Again Thanks everyone.
Marisa
