Today has been a dreadful day. I'll start off by saying apart from bruises and a badly sprained ankle I am ok.
When travelling from the house to the garage to get in the car to go for my oxygen therapy a nut on one of my wheelchair front wheels fell off and I was propelled out of my wheelchair and onto the drive. I cannot get myself off the floor so the ambulance was called and they helped me back into my (repaired) wheelchair. 1/2
Your update today is that I have 2 fractures of my ankle and am in A&E having it sorted. No idea if or when I can go home. The stuff they gave me while correcting it was good sh*t. Lol
@Mandypar I hope you can too. Hang in there!
@Mandypar Thinking ‘bout ya. 🤗
@jaunty Thank you 🤗
@Mandypar Ugh. Sending all the hugs! 💜
@Mandypar Oh no! My empathies as a fellow wheelchair user! Reminds me to get my electric one serviced.
Glad you are okay (most parts at least), relaxing and rest is the days theme here too 💜
I'm so sorry that happened! Sending love & healing vibes your way 💓💓💓💓💓💓
@Mandypar Ouch! What a horrible way to start the day. Hope lots of resting today gets you feeling better 💜
@Mandypar Oh goodness, Mandy. I’m sorry this happened, am glad to know you weren’t injured anymore than you were and hope this day gets better with rest. 💜
@Mandypar
Oh my gosh, Mandy, I am just reading this! I am so sorry to hear this. Catching up. 💔 💜
@janallmac I'm sure it could be worse lol
@Mandypar I just am glad to hear you're being treated and are hopefully on the mend and comfortable currently. 🤗 💜 Virtual hugs.
OMG Mandy. How horrible.
@Mandypar Oh No! So sorry this happened. Hoping for less pain as you recover. 🙏🏼
@ACG2 Thank you 🤗
@Mandypar
I’m sorry Mandy. That had to have been horrible. I’m happy to hear you weren’t seriously hurt.
Oh Mandy I am so sorry! 😔
That sounds awful and scary—especially since it happened so fast 💜
@Mandypar oh no how awful. Best to you!
@Mandypar
Glad you’re okay! I hope you’re ankle heals up quickly.
@Mandypar oh no.. I’m glad you’re ok but that is awful. Please take it easy. So sorry to hear this happened
Get better soon, Mandy! 💕
@Mandypar
I am absolutely delighted to hear they gave you the good shi*t. Hospitals are excellent that way. Ow ow ow though, broken ankles are the worst, how obnoxious that it happened to you!
(The reason for my relative silence is that Mr. Mac had emergency gallbladder surgery Friday, and he too is currently on the good sh*t, and recovering nicely..)
Healing vibes and best wishes and all that heading your way. 💜 ☕
@janallmac @Mandypar Hoping the good sh*t lasts long enough to provide a Good Sunday Morning!🌻🫖
@janallmac I'm glad he had his surgery and is recovering well!
@Mandypar I am so sorry to hear this! I’m wishing you speedy mitosis and a smooth recovery!
@Mandypar Oh Mandy, I missed all this earlier. So sorry! Did they give you the IV Ketamine to reset? That's what I had and it was... interesting!
@stueytheround no he gave me something like gas and air but a little handheld tube you breathe in.
@Mandypar Ack so sorry to hear this! Glad you got the good shit to keep you out of pain for a while. Sending hugs 💜
And fun fact, here in the US "getting plastered" means you just had a half a bottle of tequila with several beer chasers 😆😆 which would also dull the pain. Don't ask how I know, the 80s were a blur.
@PurpleDragon it has the same meaning here too 😉
@Mandypar @PurpleDragon
hee hee Mandy's plastered. 🤣 💜
@janallmac @Mandypar
Depending on what drugs she got she may well be 🤪
@Mandypar Cheesus, hon! 💜 💜 💜 Glad they gave you something to help, because that looks so painful and uncomfortable. *hugs*
@Mandypar I hope once you are home, that Mr P and yourself are able to access appropriate support for both of you.
@Mandypar Oh no Mandy, I’m so sorry. The very last thing you need. I’m sending you healing vibes. 🫂💛
@Mandypar I am just now seeing this thread. My hope is that you will heal and recover quickly!
This injury is quite painful looking.
At the moment I am not able to stand so getting off it is hard but I'm hoping with rest and relaxation I can do it. 2/2
