Pretty sure he read your post comments in what he advised and did. He didn't think there was anything seriously wrong that time and ice packs wouldn't help. He did check for hematomas but didn't find any. So I've got that going for me. Thanks again.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-44196805485673398592022-07-06T15:12:08.628-07:002022-07-06T15:12:08.628-07:00FranknBean,

The folding stepstools are in our house, my sister's house and both guest cabins, so I don't have to do that. Their high enough for 90% of the things I have to do. A 6' folding ladder is available for the rest. I do have an extension ladder, but Mrs. J is going to have to be VERY persuasive in order to get me up on that one. <br />Thanksjuvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-41356608917709014592022-07-06T15:06:11.647-07:002022-07-06T15:06:11.647-07:00The Doc said he couldn't feel any hematomas in...The Doc said he couldn't feel any hematomas in my legs, just a bruised thigh and a bit of swelling.

The Mrs had been after me to replace old kitchen window blinds. New blinds have been bought and lying around for more n a week, sheesh. So I learned an important 65 years lesson. <br />*All of my ladders are for my children to use when they are here.*<br /> I fell backwards while perching amongst kitchen step stool and kitchen sink. Rather than fall straight back and risk spine or pelvis damage I did a midair twist to the right and made a soft bounce on hard floor with a half slab of my back ribs (4). <br /><br />My Breath was fully exhausted from my lungs but fortunately no punctures. As a sideshow I had my first EMT visit and ambulance ride as a patient. <br />At the hospital I was told I was the fourth ladder/ fall case of the day. It was only 8am when I got there. Refer again to my ladder rule above. <br /><br />Franknbean <br />PS: prognosis is I’m going to be sore a long time.

Sympathies on the fall, glad you seem OK. Had a similar experience about 2 years ago - was out for a walk in the neighborhood, the roads had just had new asphalt applied so the road surface was about three inches above the adjacent yards. Going up a slight incline, a really nice looking pileated woodpecker flew by, and I turned to look at it without stopping my legs. I stepped halfway off the road edge and turned my ankle, pitching me forward and to the left. I rolled onto my side square on my left thigh, which was good and bad. Good that I avoided a face plant. Bad that I had a metal flashlight in my left front pocket and fell directly on it. I did the same systems check that you describe, since it really hurt, and I thought I might have broken my femur. Gradually was able to move a bit and get to my feet and limp the half mile back to the house. Nothing broken and no immediate bruising. In fact no real surface bruising at all. But goodness, what a deep bruise I had. The impact, coupled with me being on blood thinners, caused a big hematoma under the top layer of muscle, which came to the surface on my lower thigh and around my knee, remote from the impact site.

I've got a regularly scheduled Primary Care visit for late next week, that unless something goes south should be soon enough. But, Yes, Ma'am, if that changes. I'll head in. <br />Breaking something was very much on my mind as I was falling. It was kinda weird, in one sense it seemed time slowed, and I processed a lot of thoughts. Yet between losing balance and impact was milliseconds. or seemed that way. <br />I also thanked my Guardian Angel several times for his help. But told him "No, you can't go on vacation!"juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-20797451740752981722022-07-04T14:53:58.660-07:002022-07-04T14:53:58.660-07:00Suz,

Apply ice x 20-30 min every 3hours the first 24-48 hours day after injury, and then use a heating pad--on for 20-30 min x every 4-5 hours. DO NOT GO TO SLEEP WITH THE HEAT ON!!! You will make it worse. And could cause a burn on an already bruised area. Just don't do it!! And go easy with the ibuprofin--take with LOTS of water and a snack...or, if not allowed because of coagulation issues, take some tylenol to help with the pain. <br /><br />And if you aren't feeling a bit better every day, go see your favorite primary care provider person, sooner rather than later. No insult to Mrs J, but I'm willing to bet her x-ray vision glasses are "in the shop"....just saying...<br />You are lucky you didn't break a hip!!<br />Be careful!!!<br />Ok, I'll quit yelling at the 'puter now ;)<br /><br />SuzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-9584311272775925492022-07-04T14:40:21.827-07:002022-07-04T14:40:21.827-07:00Mary,

Reading all these comments made me laugh a little, and cringe a lot! I fell last October rushing to meet my Uber to the airport. Face down on a tile floor! Bled all the way to the airport. Got great service there, ice pack and wheelchair straight thru security and onto the plane. I don't recommend. My first concern was for my new right knee, which was undamaged! Had it replaced in August 2020. The first month post-op was brutal, but after that I recovered well. I'm witing for the left knee to get bad enough to be replaced. I love my new right knee! Don't hesitate when it's time to get yours done!Mary F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08161273162129455869noreply@blogger.com
