Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 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 Dandcmayer@... wrote: 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, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 You are no stranger Carol. I could almost feel your pain since I know first hand how painful your ankle must be. I am sending some positive vibes and hope they do some good in easing the pain. Your advice on using a cane is good. Lately I have tried to walk without my cane since it is so awkward to carry anything at the same time but it only takes one little wrong move and at least 3 times the only thing that saved me from a bad fall was the fact that I was near a wall when I lost my balance.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Dear Carol, Oh, it hurts just to read your post--I'm so sorry about your leg!! It is so depressing to have doctors try to nullify our pain. Good thing your husband went with you, and you found an ortho who seems to be on the ball. I hope you heal quickly and aren't in too much pain. Do what they say, stay off the leg!! I applaud your efforts in finding homes for the feral cats. Our town seems to be a doggy town, and not too many cats, but we have a cat that has owned us for 16 years. He's never been outside, just sits on the back of the couch and supervises the birds from there. You will be in my prayers, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
