Fell in the shower this morning!
Yep; I guess I slipped somehow although we have grab bars and a textered shower floor but somehow I fell and hurt my wrist.
It was turned sideways, dented and hurting a little but I still managed to finish my shower and dry off with my left hand.
I called DH and told him I may have sprained my wrist and could he please take me to the hospital?
Meanwhile; I dried my hair, brushed my teeth and put deodorant under the right underarm anyhow and managed to dress myself.
When DH got home and looked at my wrist and I thought he was going to faint because it was twisted, dented in the middle, swollen and a really pretty blue.
We went to ER, got x-rays and found I had broken two bones in my wrist and a bone in my forearm! Yikes!! I have an appointment with a surgeon on Thursday afternoon and I have a soft cast on now which goes to the elbow.
Being right handed this is a bit of a challenge and now that I know it is broken it really hurts even though I have some pretty strong meds.
I have osteoporosis so I am just so thankful I didn't break a hip.
Like anything else; I look on the bright side 'cause it could have been so much worse.
Not easy typing with one hand either.
