holiday was good until...

Post by Peggy »

this saturday morning. i fell down a flight of stairs at my friend's house and did quite the number on myself. you'll have to forgive my typing as this is all left-handed - my right hand is in a cast. i may have to get a pin in my pretty badly broken wrist. i also broke the 2nd and 3rd vertabrea in my neck and am in a collar. i hit the wall with my head and the floor with my face so i also have a rather flattened nose, two black eyes and a split lip. i have to figure out how to get to the doc today because i convinced them to release me from the hospital and had quite the 5 hour journey home. i can't drive and every corner and bump is excruciating - i don't think a cab is a good idea :???:

anyway this is pretty difficult so will write more later. love to all and my best to the birthday gals i missed.

OH NO!

What a way to end your vacation. Take care of yourself. I hope you are able to get to the doctor. Are you taking perscription pain meds? What a mess!

Gentle hugs to you :pigtail:

:yikes: Peg,

When you do a number on yourself you really do it up right!!!

It made me hurt just reading your post. I'm so sorry that happened/is happening to you.

I sure hope you see the Doc today and get whatever tests, xrays, whatever you need.

Please, Please, Please take good care of yourself. I am hurting for you.

Oh my gosh. That was a terrible fall. With so many hurts I bet it's hard to find a comfortable position. It sounds like you are being very brave. Hope you get/got to the doctor today and that they gave you pain meds! Here's hoping for a speedy recovery with lots of rest and little pain.

Peg,

So sorry to hear about your fall and I can sympathize with the collar - they are more of a pain in the neck than the injury.

Do rest and I hope the doctor will see you today.

Love, Maggie :butterfly:

EEEEGAD, Niece Peg!! That is terrible. The problem was, you see, you hadn't had your margarita yet. :grin:

You poor thing. I know that it isn't funny. Far from it. I just told Thea that you fell down some stairs and broke prctically every bone is your body. I bet that's how you feel.

Haven't you been having a run of bad luck lately? This is NOT fair. Especially not on holiday.

I hope your doc gives you some nice pain killers, at least.

I am so so sorry.

Lots of love,

Yikes! :bricks:

How awful, Pips! It does sound like a terrible fall. Yes, rest and pain killers and a few stiff drinks (when not on painkillers) are definitely indicated. You must feel like you were hit with a Mack truck. WAHHHHHHHH. Please feel better soon........pretty please? Keep us posted.

Love and a :bigbighug: (verrry gentle, of course)

Dear Peg,

I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. You must hurt all over! My dad just fell and broke his neck too, and is in a collar. His break is extremely painful - is yours? I've never broken a vertebrae, luckily. Just toes and
and feet. Feel better fast!

Love,
Alice
