Guest guest Posted January 2, 2000 Report Share Posted January 2, 2000 Donna- I did the same thing a year ago- dislocated my right elbow- I still get nauseos when i think of how much it hurt! I did have the brace also- it was quite an eye opener since I couldnt even get myself off of the toilet- husband had to hook my bra-he laughed and said that he could now vision what are " older " years will be like. I also had damaged some neves in the fall- so I was left with hardly any grip in my hand- I tend to drop and accidently toss many more things than before- also my handwriting is pretty much ilegible...and if it makes you feel better- I had to have the paramedics heft me off the floor as well- its really emabarassing because I had not showered or pee'd prior to fall- so I was in bad shape!! Good luck with recovery- and I do reccomend wearing the brace for as long as you are told- because I have fallen since then and not re-damaged it!!
