https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/And-then-I-fell/m-p/217822#M96071 <P>I may have mentioned my surgery, but it wasn't a part of a thread. I had ankle reconstruction surgery on the 14th of June. I had a torn ankle tendon. It had been in the planning for four years. I have been in major pain, and am not allowed to put weight on my ankle for six weeks. </P> <P>Yesterday, I wasn't focusing on what I was doing, and fell in the bathroom. (I need to slow down.) I should have been using the walker in a different way. Fortunately, I didn't land on my foot. I was home alone, and was able to get myself up without putting weight on my right leg. It's a good thing my upper body is fairly strong.</P> <P>I've been sleeping downstairs on my DD's bed. Boy, do I miss sleeping with my DH!</P> <P>The stitches are out, and every two weeks, I need a new cast for repositioning. I go back to see the doctor on Friday, July 13tth. </P> <P>I'm going to behave now, but it's making me crazy to be in the house. My pups have been keeping me good company. Also, my DH has been terrific. </P> <P>Supposedly, I will be okay for when school starts, but altogether, it will be a year long process with PT, when the cast comes off. </P> Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:58:40 GMT RubyinNE 2012-07-03T20:58:40Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/And-then-I-fell/m-p/217822#M96071 <P>I may have mentioned my surgery, but it wasn't a part of a thread.
