Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I am sorry that you had a fall and broke your ankle. It's good that it's not painful, anyway. I hope it heals very quickly and you can walk instead of hobbling.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi Heidi.  I was so glad to hear from you today. I was sorry to read that you have fallen too. Did you break anything? How is the PT going? How is your RA? It has been much too long since we have talked. I have missed you very much.  I know you are buried with snow, but I am sure your dogs just love it! I hope your mother is doing better also.  I am doing so much better is all other area's. I am still going for therapy and it has helped me so much. I am finally back to myself. I finally stopped all that crying, and I truly thought it would never stop. I am just dealing with my broken heart, but in time that will heal too.  is in Mansfield and buried with 4' of snow. My little granddaughters, 3 and 4 can't go and play in the yard as the snow is over their heads. usually shovels a path to the lake so they can skate etc., but too much snow for him to shovel. A real old fashioned N.E. winter. I do love the snow and miss it.  Take care of yourself and I hope when I go home again, we can finally meet. That would be such a treat!!!  P.S. You forgot to send me monster hugs....................I miss them too.......................................  Many monster hugs to you.  Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi! Yup, I broke my shoulder, and badly bruised my knee and ribs. My hands have been hurting me alot lately. I saw the rheumy last week. Just waiting on blood test results to determine whether i'm back on meds or an MRI will be done on my right hand first. Healing is slow, but I'm finally at the PT stage of it, leg stabilizer and cane are gone! yay! Oh how I hated using those. I so want to meet you next time you come up here. I'm glad you are getting back to you. Many monster hugs.... Heidi " Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. " Re: [ ] Barbara's fall Hi Heidi.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi Heidi.  What a terrible fall you had. A broken shoulder is slow to heal. Remember when I fell and broke my left foot and left shoulder? That was slow to heal too. Thank heavens they both healed wonderfully. I hope your Rheumy appt. goes well for you. I hope your hands will be alright. We fall hard and the hands take the brunt of the fall. Nothing to break our falls.  I did have that nerve test on both feet and they both have Neuropathy. I was going absolutely crazy with the pain. The foot surgeon had me take B12 for it and that works good. My Rheumy put me on Lyrica ( another 2 pills) and all that foot pain is finally gone. These feet of mine were so awful I could bearly stand on them let alone walk on them. So far they are both pain free and it feels wonderful. I have suffered terribly with these feet of mine. Of all the places RA struck, why it had to strike my feet so hard I don't know. I am so thankful I am pain free. Life is good.  I hope your PT goes well and that you begin to heal from your fall. Please take it easy in the all the snow and ice you have. Dangerous to walk on or drive on.  So nice to talk with you again.  Many monster hugs to you.  Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thank you , I guess when I do something, I go all in! The only thing that has me curious right now, is yesterday was my first real session, and a few hours later, my fingers swelled and started to hurt. My PT wasn't in today. I'm supposed to see her tomorrow, and left a message for her for when she gets in in the morning. Heidi " Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Tara, Are you OK? I fell in broad daylight, down 4 stairs, skidding on about 10 feet of snow and ice.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Barbara: Sorry to hear of your fall. You are always very comforting when one of us has it bad, so I hope you recover very fast. By the way, they have some water-resistant casting material now, at least you can take a shower with it (dont think it will hold up for swimming). Fondly, OKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Barbara, I am soooooo sorry about your fall and subsequent ortho trouble. Are you tryping to compete with me?????????We are going to have to put you up on a shelf so you don't hurt ANY body parts. I hope that you are not in too much pain. I am so sorry that you had this accident. I will see if my cabana boys feel like taking a trip up to northern FL to " perk " you up a bit!!!! Take care my dear friend, I guess we have to postpone our trip once again! I have a dr appt later today and I don't know how I am going to make it. At the very least he will probably give me IV iron, but I don't know if that is going to help or not. Now you take care of yourself, we are already measuring you for a shelf in the kitchen! Don't make us use it!!!!!! Gentle, tender, speedy healing angel hugs........................... Debs in FL Re: [ ] Barbara's fall I am sorry that you had a fall and broke your ankle. It's good that it's not painful, anyway. I hope it heals very quickly and you can walk instead of hobbling.
