It happened something terrible today! This morning, taking my son to go to school (walk) I slipped on a patch of ice and I fell heavily on his back ... It took me 25 minutes to return home (to me it usually takes 5) and waited for my husband comes from his job to go on emergencies. Result: I have a fracture of the sacrum and coccyx! I'm good for 3 weeks recovering, I walk like a little old and sit or climb stairs make me scream with pain!

So sorry sissibrode... I understand how much pain you are in. My husband suffered for years(20) with his back. Please take it easy, don't strain yourself. Walking around is about the only thing that helps. There is not much more you can do. Try some heating pads. Let your family take care of you :) It's hard to keep a good women down ,,,
take care

Sylvie, So sorry to hear this. I know what you are going through. My husband has a bad back. sometimes he just turns incorrectly and it takes days to come right. Then he can only stand or lay flat on his back. Hope you recover soon. Hugs Yvonne

Sissy I am so sorry to hear of this terrible fall. You must have a lot of pain. Rest as much as you can and please let the children help you with stuff. Do not try to do everything as usual and take painkillers. I find heat also help for the pain. I first put something like Deep Heat on and then I lie down with a hot bag or bottle where the pain is very bad. Hope you will be better soon.
Hugs, Annatjie

Dear Sweet Sissi,
It pains me to imagine you inching your way home with broken bones. I'm so sorry for your injury. My prayers are with you that you heal rapidly and with as little discomfort as possible. Hopefully there is a family member or friend who can help you in all things. Rest and get well, my dear.
Love,
Jacqueline

I am sorry to hear this! You must be in a lot of pain. Have you got one of those inflatable rings to sit on? It makes sitting a lot less painful. I hope it heals soon.

I am so sorry for you. I fell down a flight of stairs all the way to the bottom and fractured both also. That happened years ago, but I still remember the pain! Please take care of yourself. It will just take time to heal. I'm so so sorry! Hugs and gentle pats for you.

Thank you for all your warm messages and advice. I spent a terrible night and I woke up with pain that I felt not yesterday. The emergency doctor prescribe a painkiller to me 3 times a day! Nothing else! any advice to suffer less! So I do my best: I sit down on one buttock, I walk slowly and I climb the steps one by one! hoping that the pain passes quickly.

Thanks again my friends

Hugs

Sissi

Ma pauvre c'est terrible, bon mais avec ta pêche tu vas bientôt revenir en forme ! un truc pour s'assoir, une bouée gonflable pour enfant, tu aura l'impression d'être à la plage! Tu peux aussi peut être déménager ton lit en bas pour éviter quelques temps les escaliers.. Je suis passée par la il y a quelques années,c'est long et on ne peux pas y faire grand chose, bon courage ! bises

Oh my dear Sissi ! Like Alice says the blowing ring for the beach is a option to sit but if something is fractured, I am afraid only time will ill the pain. It looks like it's going to be woman's dayssssss for you. That's why you have 4 sons, to look after you while you're recovering.
Courage, patience and plenty of pain killer to start !

Oh Sissi, I feel so bad for you. I can imagine the pain you're in. I fractured my coccyx in a playground accident when I was 12. I do remember the excruciating pain. Please try to take it easy and allow the injury to heal. Don't push yourself and let others help you whenever possible. I will pray that you have a speedy recovery. My heart goes out to you.

Sissi, I sure am sorry to hear about your accident. I do hope it gets better real fast and you have no lasting pains from your fall. A bad back is very bad company to have to live with! Just try to take it easy until you feel much better. Let some of the rest of the family take care of you for a few weeks. I will certainly remember you in my prayers! Hugs, Linda

Oh Dear Sissi, Missed your "skating episode", and am sooo sorry for you. that is so painful & slow to heal. It must be the season for dramatic falls.. I took a tumble (Huge) off the sofa, which is raised because of my Husband's situation, and it was not a dainty fall. Did a belly smacker and sure managed to bang myself up really bad. After several weeks I am still very purple, plum color, can finally use my arm, but my ribs still hurt when take deep breath & cough. So that ends my excursions on the sofa. All to change the time on a clock. Was so stupid.. I wish you well & hope that soon we both will be back on our daily adventures. I sent you an email before I found out what happened to you. So hope you're able to do your mail and keep in touch that way... Your Pen Pal in America..Mary in Michigan
