On Mother’s day I tripped and fell hard on my right side, fracturing my hip and was operated on that afternoon. The doc put 2 screws and a nail in my hip, along with a rod from my hip to my knee.
Now I have an extremely bad time walking and the constant pain makes everything difficult to do.
I don’t know how long it will take for everything to heal. Now I’m hoping to get home at some point.

Sorry to read about your fall. Will pray for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers! even though I'm home again, recovery will take a long time for me to get through it.
DeleteDang Bill! You best be careful. I know you are dissaplined to not slack off on any exercises for rehab but don't overdo anything. Let us know when you are back home.
ReplyDeleteI am home now. Recovery is a long way off though. It's painful to walk, but that's the only way to heal my wound.

So sorry to hear Mr.Bill , I find it helps to stay relaxed in very painful situations believe me in know. I have a hip and a steel rod replacing my left knee. On the right side is a knee replacement. Six surgeries on the left leg but I healed from all of it . You will be ok just do your best and it will be ok.
ReplyDeleteI too have a rod from hip to knee. Recovery will take a long time to arrive, but I'll stay with it until full recovery.

Hope you will be off pain meds soon. Injuries happen at the most unexpected time. What is the name of the facility you are staying in.

Jim, I'm home now. I'm not well just yet, but I'll get there at some point. The rehab center showed me what I need to do for the hip and a whole lot of new exercises for overall strength.

Wow, so sorry Bill. Please let me know if I can help!
ReplyDeleteSharon, I have my daughter Annie with me here at home. She has been by my side since the day I fell and will be with me for a while longer. I am anxious to recover from all of this. It will be nice once I can walk without a walker device.
