Pretty bad fall...again

[Amore55]

Was going down the patio steps, the very last one is extremely short. I forgot it was there for some reason, cog fog?...anyway tumbled, twisted my ankle and heard something pop and kind of snap. Hurt like I cannot say here in public! Could not put any weight on it, so crawled onto the house. Grabbed a baggie filled with ice and got to bed. It was already swollen and blue. Not pretty. That was about 3 hours ago. Still no weight on it. So using my walker as a “knee scooter” . Hurts so bad. Ordered crutches from Amazon as no store in town has any! Really pretty colors on my foot! Can just my left ankle be bubble wrapped? 🤣😅😃 Love to all. Stay safe and be careful! Kelly

You may have broken a bone in your foot or ankle, so do get it checked out. Please!

[Morllyn]

Might need to get that checked out lady. Could have a break!

We all seem to agree Kelly, please get it checked and let us know how you get on . Hugs 🤗

Oh, dear! I'm so sorry about this. Please get it checked. Even if it's not a break, you may have damaged a ligament, etc.

I hope you'll let us know how you're doing and what you find out.

Falls are no fun and it’s happens from us not concentrating and tiredness. I had minor fall this morning and broke Rozy’s heart ❤️ shaped dinner bowl 🍲 🤬. Luckily I didn’t get hurt 😔. Hope you get felling better and like everyone is saying doctor visit might be needed. 👍🙏😉🐾🐾 Ken

It sounds like you might need to go to ER to have it evaluated, Amore55 If not, then at least call your health care professional to let them know of this, okay?

Is it possible to paint your ste[s a really bright obnoxious colour so you see them and notice them all the time?

[IFwczs]

Kelly, sorry about your fall. I do agree with the majority of the responses - do have a doctor examine it. Good luck!

[2littletime]

Do see a doctor..I also like RoyceNewton's idea of painting those steps. Praying for healing...🙏
