Slow road to recovery.

[Souielouie]

I posted a few weeks ago about my fall in the bathroom breaking several ribs, my shoulder blade , etc, which was nearly 8 weeks ago. I saw a Consultant in the Fracture Clinic 3 weeks ago, he said that the further healing time would be 3 months. He showed me a 3D image of my injuries, WOW. !! now I know why I'm in so much pain.I was worried about getting a chest infection, my Consultant put me on full time antibiotics which I started the day before my fall & so far so good thankfully. 😊😊

I'm seeing a Physiotherapist & doing the exercises, using my Nebulizer twice a day & using my Spirometer daily. I went to my Breathers group a couple of weeks ago it was lovely to see everyone & have a catch up. I didn't do the exercises I only exercised my mouth 😄😄. I am back to going weekly now exercising my legs, walking, meeting friends & family.

Just wanted to give an update on my slow road to recovery, thank goodness for the lovely weather, enjoy the Spring weather everyone & thank you for all your kind & thoughtful messages.I

Love Sue 💞💞

Oh Souielouie, I do sympathise. It seems to take longer for bones to knitwear we're getting older - it used to be six week! Glad your consultant had the forethought to give you the antibiotics, getting an infection with fractured ribs would be awful with coughing plus the risk of them parting. Glad to that youre managing some exercise and that you've retained your great sense of humour! Take care, make sure you get physio for the shoulder when it heals. P

[Souielouie in reply to peege]

Thanku peeve I’m going to see the Physiotherapist this afternoon. 🥰🫶

[Ergendl]

Glad to hear you're starting on the road to recovery now. Wishing you all the best through the long slog to the fittest you can be xx

[Souielouie in reply to Ergendl]

Thanku 🥰

[Alberta56]

Glad to hear that you are making progress, if only slowly. I admire your determination to get back to normal. Ribs are plaguey things- I remember my husband moaning and groaning when he had cracked one or two. I don't know what he would have been like if he had suffered as much damage as you. xxx

[Souielouie in reply to Alberta56]

Thanku Alberta56, I have a very supportive husband & family 🥰🫶

[Loopylorre]

Wow, you certainly have a lot to contend with at the moment, wishing you well & speedy recovery, take care 💐🌺🌼 xx

[Souielouie in reply to Loopylorre]

Thanku for your lovely words Loopylorre 🥰😎☀️🫶

[Karenanne61]

Those injuries sound sooo painful. I wish you lazy days in the sunshine and a speedy recovery.

[Souielouie in reply to Karenanne61]

Thank you Karenanne61. Slowly does it, hope we have a good summer. 😊😊

[leo60]

Was that really 8 weeks ago? Doesn't seem that long ago to me, but I expect it's felt like an eternity to you! Glad you are making progress, keep at it brave lady and enjoy the sunshine xx

[Souielouie in reply to leo60]

Thanku, I can’t believe it either, thank goodness for Spring and Summer 😎☀️🥰

[watergazer]

[Souielouie]

[MoyB]

It's great to hear you're on the mend, albeit slowly. Like you, I have the support of a lovely husband - they definitely have their uses! 🤣Seriously, it makes a huge difference, doesn't it, even if they just get you a drink now and again.Here's wishing you continued steady progress. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be dancing on the table before you know it!

Xx Moy
