Bye For Now

[rareboy]

I still want to know how you fell off your bed backwards and landed on your ass.

How is the other guy?

 

[BillyT]

Sorry for the streak of bad luck Chris. I hope you get healed up quickly.

 

[gsdx]

I certainly know what fractures can do to a body. Best of luck with your rehabilitation, and hoping that it's complete.

 

[Vannie]

Bring your soap on a rope chris

Sorry...I didn't know you were injured.Best wishes for feeling better

 

[chrisrobin]

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. Better than meds!

 

[rareboy]

Nothing is better than meds.

 

[chrisrobin]

Not necessarily.

I'm back - sort of.

As John Lennon once wrote: "life is what happens when you're busy making plans." My time off was to be spent moving in with my older brother. It went well until I slid off my bed backwards and landed on my "glutes". Had x-rays taken. No fracture was found, but pain kept on getting worse - until I was unable to put any weight on my left leg. Subsequently, I headed to the E.R. and was greeted with a special bonus... a urinary tract infection and bladder stones. After the UTI cleared up, a fracture was found, so I was sent to a rehab center where I am currently. Hope I will be discharged by the weekend. A real pain in the butt - literally.

Oh Chris! Sorry to hear about your bad fortune. Glad to hear that you are on the mend, though....

Rehab redux:

As was completing my move, I fell down my stairs carrying a box of extraneous household goods. I tripped and fractured a rib. I find myself at the same rehab center as before. They did excellent work on my hip, so I'm awaiting a full recovery.



It wasn't as much fun as it appears to have been.

 

[BillyT]

I am sorry that you have hurt yourself again Chris. I hope it is a quick recovery.

We will need to wrap you for your own protection.

[rareboy]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hopefully the new place has no stairs.

Oh Chris, so sorry to hear of your troubles I hope you aren't in too much pain and make a quick recovery

I think we need to get you some help around the house...

Sorry to hear about your recent woes, and hope you're well on the way to getting better.

If it's any consolation, I fell on my tailbone too and gosh, it hurts like heck! If I'm on my back in bed, there's that nagging pain just there, it's so annoying, sitting on the sofa became a delicate manoeuvre and I ended just purching on the edge of things instead. But three and a half weeks since I fell off the stool later, it's starting to subside. It did give me a reason to get off my behind to finish stuff around the house that needed doing.

Aw, Chris, I am sorry to hear that! I'm thinking good thoughts for your speedy recovery...

I feel your pain - literally. My ortho doc told me - four to six weeks to heal. After 2 weeks, I think the worst is over.
