I fell off a ladder on Thurs night. Went to hospital Fri morning, went to different hospital Fri afternoon to see ortho chap and have CT scan. I have a fractured tibial plateau. I'm in a full leg cricket pad splint (no cast, yay!) and am not allowed to weight bear at all for 4-6 weeks. A lovely OT friend has leant me higher toilet seats, a stool for the shower etc so I am all set up in that respect.
So here are the important questions...
How do you get your socks on?
How do I stand up when I get to the top of the stairs?
If I fall over (almost happened a couple of times already) what is the best thing to do if no-one is home?
How the frick am I going to get lunch etc?
I was pretty ok about it all yesterday but had a bit of a wig out in the middle of the night and am worrying about everything now
