Ouch! Wishing you a speedy complete recovery. One thing I hate about aging is it seems like I have to concentrate on how and where I walk. Good luck,,👍

@I am still oxox I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. Are you in a lot of pain? Can't you walk maybe using a walker? Hope you feel better soon.

@Kachina624 I was sent home with a walker, and I am good at using it

You have all the love, friendship, and sympathy that I could possibly send to you right now.

I'm sure we could never imagine some of these things happening to us.

I am so sorry that you have to deal with this.

I had a freak accident just about a month ago and I broke my right heel standing up, while ironically trying not to fall over.

I ended up tearing my Achilles tendon in that leg and split my heel in that foot at the same time. I also fractured my little toe on that same foot, but that will heal on its own.

Long story short for me is that I have to wait and see what happens with the healing process, as the surgery for my heel didn't take, due to the condition of my foot.

It was already fragile and arthritic, before I even broke it.

The surgery for the tendon repair was successful, though.

So, I have to wait and see what happens with the healing process with everything. No weight-bearing yet for my foot.

You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers while your hip heals.

I am so sorry. Don't give up and keep going with therapy. I have heard of Seniors giving up. Hang in there and keep going.

My Aunt and Godmother broke her hip area three times. She could not stand for long periods of time and did not have the strength but got around fine with a walker after the third time. She was in Rehabilitation each time and you are thankfully home, a good sign.

I think a fear alot of us have as we age and it happens. I hope you have help. I know she had wonderful meals delivered through her insurance which was nice.

I sincerely hope all goes well. Not an experience one wants to have. As you said it was a long few days.

@I am still oxox oh no Oznell.....my friend also fell in her garage and fractured her hip. She recuperated quickly after surgery spending a few days in rehab. Be sure to do everything the doctors tell you to do. Keep it upbeat if you can. My friend was back to normal so quickly I could not believe it. You sound to me like you are a most positive person....maintain your positivity. I know you can do it.
