Klutz

I fell...again. I was on the walker with my hands full, not steering, and caught one of the wheels on my right pant hem. I went down hard on my left knee and jammed my foot into the carpet. I also landed on my right wrist. This was the hardest fall I have taken and boy does it hurt. My pride hurts too, as Aaron asked "can't you be more careful?" Like I want to fall???

So, as you can see I'm back to icing and elevating. No wonder my doctor doesn't want me to leave the house--I'm a spaz. Seriously though, I have ONLY fallen IN my house, so maybe I should just leave to avoid the tendency to spill.

The incisions are intact and will probably stay that way now. I say probably because with my body absolutely anything is possible. The worst damage I can do is tearing the graft jacket or the tendon again. I don't think that happened today, but the swelling is there. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I've fallen...and I can't get up!

I tried to help unload groceries tonight. The refrigerated goods went well, without incident.

The canned goods were another story. I tried to go from the walker to the floor...tumbled down and landed on my left foot. I had the moon boot on, but it did not protect me.

The incisions burn and the foot throbs.

I have it on ice, but I'm fearful I did some damage.

Fingers crossed...say some prayers...

This sucks.
