After the Fall

This is how I am spending my days. Both ankles in supports and a knee stablizer. Also using a walker to help me get around. Not very comfortable and they are not made for easy moving around. I am feeling somewhat better and I want to thank Terry for posting about my accident. I just turned to go back down our outside back steps and fell about 1 or 2 steps to the ground. I am not sure how it happened because it happened so fast.

I want to thank all those who sent best wishes to heal fast and those who wished me Happy Birthday. The day was good till the Fall and the rest of the day sucked. It is hard to get my leg under the computer table and it hurts more to sit upright so I may not be on much for a little longer. I may not be able to reply to everyone either till this knee thing is gone. As you can see it does a good job of keeping me from bending my knee.

Wishing you all a good week.

  12. Oh tudy,
    I am so so sorry for your horrible accident; what an inconvenience...but the positive thing is it forces you to slow down and do 'quiet' things right now. I know, I know, not much of a positive side, but what's the alternative. I just hope you aren't having much pain.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you Tudy...seriously, I am thinking of you!

  20. OOOh Tudy you poor darling....what a mess!! Oops sorry we are supposed to be cheering you up. Your hair looks Ok...there!! That leg thingo looks really uncomfortable.. maybe you could do some hand stitching to pass the time. I'm so sorry for you, and hope you start to improve. How long do the Dr's think you will be laid up. I know they like to get you moving quickly, but how are you going to do that with both ankles gone, let alone the knee. My heart goes out to you.
    Hugs and hugs
