Really bad luck

That really was very bad luck - I feel for you - it's NOT FAIR !!! Wish I could say something to cheer you up but there probably isn't anything that would do that vert well at present. The only thing is - just remind yourself - this isn't a permanent situation -  and you will get home ... just hang in there Amkoffee - we are all in your corner !

Best wishes

So sorry to hear about your misfortune. That truly sucks and adds insult to injury. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery. Hope you are back in action soon.

So sorry amkoffee, it probably will

Be hard to sit and not do anything, but enjoy being waited on. Get a few good books and make the most of it. Take care we will all be thinking of you.  These

Are for you 💐

So sorry you’re having a rough spot. I would use the forced inactivity to catch up on a hobby, like knitting, reading, painting, sewing, etc. Hope the time goes by fast.

Amkoffee,  I am so sorry about your fall.

So frightening to feel it happenig & not be able to get control enough to stop it.

I'm so sorry about your fall.

It must have been so frightening to feel yourself going down and not able to stop it.

I understand your need to go home but rehab can do wonders for you and you will learn how to do things for yourself more quickly. You can even get caught up on some sleep.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

It is perfectly acceptable to share this on the forum. 

After all, we are "family".

Take care and heal quickly.

What a scunner. I'm so sorry to hear of your rotten luck. Try to think of it another way if you can unless you're in Australia. It's still Winter and you will be having rehab in the cold weather so when you are fitter the weather will be better and the Spring flowers will be out. Best wishes for a speedy recovery though I guess it will be a game of patience. Have you considered learning to play ukulele? It passes the time and is fun.

So sorry to hear about your problems at the moment, I can only hope that you can find one small thing each day that will make you smile and that you will soon be on the way to recovery.

Thinking of you 😊

Oh, golly!  Just adds insult to injury, for sure. I took an awful fall about 2 months ago, and wonder of wonders, nothing broke!  Knocked myself out. Told rheumy my bones must be strong again, she said..you were just lucky...be extra careful. This journey has given me about every side effect it can. I now feel like a hypochondriac, fearful of anything strange that hurts, aches, etc. I really relate to your ‘bedpan’ dilemma. UGH. I had to have surgery for vaginal/rectal/bladder fistula, and then came home with a catheter...ugh. What horrors...thank goodness for my dear hubby, who was right there to help. I pray for good recovery and healing of your ankle. Don’t rush it..read some good books, do some puzzles on iPad, or whatever you use to ‘play’. Keep a stiff upper lip.. warm hugs from a fellow PMR journey woman in the USA 🌨??🌷🥀

So sorry for your bad luck. Praying for a speedy recovery.Lots of friends here sending you well wishes!

Hi amkoffee. My prayers go with you. Stay strong, you can do this.

Just a quick little update... I met with a PT yesterday and he was able to get me standing on my sprained ankle using a walker. I was able to scoot the few inches over to the recliner and sit down. It was the first time I've sat down since Tuesday. And it hurt like hell to stand on my sprained ankle. Everyone has decided that I need to go to a rehab facility instead of going directly home. The first one they applied to turn me down. That was a disappointment because I was familiar with this facility and it was close to home. So the caseworker and I picked out four other locations and she's going to start applying to each one until someone can take me. The PT said I shouldn't have to stay long just long enough for my sprained ankle to heal. Well I hope that I get into a nice facility.
