I have taken a pretty bad fall & have a hairline fracture on my fibula & two chipped pieces of bone in my ankle. I will be off of it for sometime. I go again to see the specialist Monday morning........please keep me in your prayers. I came home from being @ the hospital all day today only to have a lie down to sitting upright quickly only to have discovered a piece of my tooth fell off & I swallowed it. This is the 3rd time I lost a piece of one of my teeth in about a month. I am falling apart lol

Oh! no, you poor girl. I do hope you heal really fast and are up and about in no time at all. Does mean another visit to the dentist too? I'll certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers Loralye. Gentle hugs as well, love Chris

So sorry to hear of your fall. I hope you will soon be back on your feet. My thoughts and prayers are with you. (Your foot looks just like I have been bandaging hubby's for the past 5 weeks.) Hugs Shirley

Almost 6 months is too!

Gosh Toogie I'm looking on the bright side and hope I don't have to bandage it for much longer. Hugs
by shirley124 12 Jun 2016
Yes Lorayle I hope he heals soon as well. He goes back to the Spec Clinic on Tuesday, but I guess it will be more dressings and bandages. Hugs
by toogie 12 Jun 2016
Sorry Shirley, I meant the braces and being back 'on your feet'. You both were talking about the bandages, my mistake.

I hate to hear of your fall Loralye. I am almost paranoid about falling now, sometimes when I think about going back to work I can't breathe, I'm so afraid to fall. I sometimes think this must be like PTSD, as it was traumatic for me. I just started walking in the house again, without a cane or walker, but haven't got my 'gait' back yet. I don't won't to walk with a limp, looks bad, but also hurts my back. I do hope it doesn't take you as long as me but do take care and of course you are in my prayers. How did you fall?

I had a tibial plateau fracture, with fracture of the fibula too, so that's why my recovery is so long. Didn't want to sound discouraging to you. I know it's hard to be so still but you do have to let it heal. Take care, but I still am concerned why you fell.
by pldc 11 Jun 2016
oh Toogie, thank you so much for your prayers & concern. like you, all this hurts my back too. the limping & hobbling & I am not doing well with the crutches. I'm sure it just takes practice & by the sounds of things I will be getting plenty of that. I slipped & fell @ a grocery store. ~hugs~
by toogie 11 Jun 2016
Be careful Loralye, because I have slipped twice, but not fallen. Once it had been raining and my cane slip, then another time my foot slipped. I am always looking down, ahead of me, but I still don't know why I slipped.

So sorry to hear of this and will tuck you into my prayers. Remember all the lovely ways you can boost your calcium while you heal - ice cream, yogurt, puddings, creamed spinach, milkshake, ice cream float. (I'm reminded of that old Sesame Street song - "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things doesn't belong.") Oh, if you bake, add extra powdered milk into your muffins or cake.
