Stress Fracture

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

I too am probably a strange in your midst by now. I have been pretty busy

finding homes for the feral cat kittens born in my backyard. The Mothers are

still pretty wild, but will let me handle and take the kittens at about 5

weeks. I found homes for every one. BUT in the process, I stepped in a hole

and

fell sideways. Hurt like crazy and really swelled up. i went to the Dr. he

did an exray of my ankle and said all was fine. Next week I fell again,

AGAIN did exrays of my ankle all was fine. THen my husband went to the Dr.

with

me, and was pretty upset that he just put me off telling be it was a severe

sprained ankle. But I started to hear " popping " and pain that sent me down

to my knees when I would twist or move wrong. Finally they did an MRI and it

showed severe swelling internally, by this time I was falling or moving wrong

at least once a day. I saw an Ortho Friday,. he did leg exrays. I have a 4

inch vertical stress fractur of the tibia, the fracture is also cracking

horizonatlly and there is weaknes in the bone next to it!!!! SO, I am in a

wheelchair and have a cast- not allowed to walk at all ......Dr says my bone is

breaking faster that it is healing. I truly feel like a klutz.

Please be very careful where you walk and use your cane/walker.

Gentle Hugs & Prayers,

Hi Carol,

I am new to the group, but wanted to respond.

That was sweet of you to find homes for the kittens. I had have a lot of wild

strays appear at my door as well. So far no babies though.

I am sorry about the falls but glad you finally got to the root of the problem.

I was having falls pretty frequently one while but didn't go anywhere, I am

better now. Hope you get better soon. Have a pain-free day.

Love and peace,

Ebony
