Yes,
this has been quite a shock to everyone to say the least. I WAS
SUPPOSED to have cervical neck surgery BEFORE the end of the year. Last
Tuesday, about 9AM or somy daughter, & I were on the phone talking. I walked out to the front porch, to see how"cool" it was outside & then walked back in the house & was going to step over 1 baby gate I have up between my Living room and bedroom. I have several up to keep the dogs out of places they just don't need be. I started over the gate & the toe of my shoe caught either the tip of rug out of the living room, so it is all hardwood floor right side, from my head/neck to my toes.
It hurt so badly I
dropped the phone & I WAS SCREAMING to the top of my lungs - I HOPED
it was just sprained badly...but I got the phone , told Amanda to let
me try and see if I could find out what I had messed up. I remembered
that I had my crutches in the spare bedroom & also an extra rolling
desk chair back there also. So, I put my heavy robe under me & was able to scoot a little at a time to that room. and then get up on the chair,grab the crutches & with my left foot I slowly rolled myself to the office.By about 2PM I KNEW something was broken but honestly I did NOT want to admit it. So, when the pain was unbearable
I knew I had
to call 911. I had no choice so, I made the call. Sure enough the
CT& X-rays confirmed 2 breaks in my right hip. The Orthopedic
surgeon , (Dr. Roye) who had also done surgery on my left shoulder &
elbow, so he is familiar with my physical ailments. I can say this is
the very last ordeal myself and my family needed- after losing Mom about
6 months ago.
