hard time but manageable thanks to all you!

hi everyone! I have had a relapse that lasted 2 months. Then as soon as I was feeling better I started doing more. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. As I was crawling out of bathroom I noticed a fuzzy. I stood and picked it up thinking that would be faster. That landed in my twisting around to throw it away. Sounds simple. Should’ve been simple. Instead my silly leg said no you’re not! And I twisted and fell and head a horrible snap (like a turkey wishbone). It’s my leg. Badly broken and my ankle is twisted! I landed myself in the hospital with an ambulance ride. I sit here in a hospital bed with a new cast from my foot all the way up my thigh. I had surgery yesterday It hurts bad but the morphine helps 😂. Doesn’t take all the pain away but definitely makes it more bearable Have I learned my lesson? Probably not 😂. The hospital and staff have been absolutely amazing. I’m going to miss them when I finally go home. Thanks to them and everyone here I have been battling good! I’m glad I found this site and I’m glad for all you people! Thank you all so extremely much!

Sorry about your fall, I hope you heal well. You might want to ask about a dexa scan to check for osteopenia or osteoporosis if it broke that easily. I asked for one after I broke my ankle and was told no need, then a few years later I broke my wrist and was again told no need and now I have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. Steroids can really mess with your bones🙁 I no longer accept being told no need when I ask for a certain test or lab, a little persistence is usually all that is needed and if they still dont agree, I will politely ask that they document in my chart that I requested it be done and that they refused to order it, works like a charm!

[Xvettech in reply to starlight5]

Thank you. I’m sorry to hear of your breaks and the responses of those who told you no need! Thanks for the advice!

[CatsandCars in reply to starlight5]

Great advice, since most of us have had plenty of steroids. I recently found out I will need cataract surgery, and I'm only 58. My mom just had hers done, so I didn't think I would need to worry about it for a long time. The eye doctor said it's from steroids, so I should probably talk to my doctor about a bone scan.

[Xvettech in reply to CatsandCars]

Wow! Super good luck with everything!

[CatsandCars in reply to Xvettech]

Thanks, Xvettech, you too!

Prayers for your recovery. Good advice from starlight re osteoporosis. Was getting stronger bones(via dexa scans( & had about 6 doses steroids for various reasons including relapsed & got worse.

On a hood program now to rebuild. Again prayers for your recovery

If staff in the hospital are good, it's everything. I felt the same way when I got paralyzed from the waist down. When I came home from the hospital after 3 weeks I felt lonely!!

[Xvettech in reply to 1yoyo]

I can see that! The hospital staff were so extremely helpful! I miss them tons!
