oh dear that sounded painful and i am sure it shook you up as well.
Glad you are home now though.
You will just have to try to rest.
Hope the bruises fade soon
Take care

Oh dachshund, no! This does not sound good, not another fall? Dearie, dearie me, what are we going to do with you? I am so pleased that you have not broken anything, I hope the pain dullers do at least take off the edge, and I hope you are feeling OK in yourself: these things are very upsetting, no? It must be good to be home, I wish you well. DD

I am so sorry to hear this, it must have really shaken you up, not to mention having a ride in the ambulance.
You must be so glad to be home, you have a nice cup of tea, and sleep in your own bed tonight....bliss

Sending you loads of hugs ((((((())))) and love

Hi Joan

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had a fall, but thank goodness you didn't break any bones.

Take care, Joan, and I hope you will feel better soon.

Love from Joanxx

Oh dear Joan...........

Thats not good....

But nothing broken, so you got away with it.......this time....

You must be more careful.....

hahaha.....me, telling some else to be careful.....

I must start taking my own advise.....

Good you're back home it one piece.....

frogmorton

Oh Joan :sad:

poor poor you :shock:

I am so glad you are home safe and just bruised and battered and as Rob said nothing broken.

The frame is not such a bad idea to be honest....you can attatch a bag and carry things aroung on it like the tv remote and things like that. You can get clips to go over the frame like you used on push chairs.

I wish you a very very speedy recovery

Hi Tony Joan Rob DD Toni Cris Barbara.
thank you for caring about me.
i'm so slow walking i have a sharp pain in my groin and bum
at least i'm walking because you go stiff and its worse.
Sue's just glad i'm home she said nothing else matters.

I know it hurts but you are so right, you have to keep moving as much as you can. Slow and steady wins the race, remember - and I hope the frame is useful, it must give very secure support and that is a boon for us tottery ones! I hope Sue is well - she must be so pleased to have you back, as are we. DD

dachshund

Thank you DD.
everyones so kind. i go to see the consultant next tuesday
about the ct scan she said before i had it i had to think about the op now this has happened i think its the right thing to do.
i hope DD you are not to bad to day.
you are lovely you always know the right thing to say.
joan xx

dreamdaisy

I think it's the right thing to do, too, apparently CT scans are fairly straightforward so I hope you find it an easy thing to do. As for the nice bit, thank you, that's very kind of you to say. DD

barbara12

Hello Joan
It good that you and Sue have one another, you are doing the right thing moving around, but also make sure you rest.
I will be with you when you go for the scan,
Love to you both

Hi DD Barbara I toni Debs Lynne
thank you for your kind words.
i've had the scan i'm going for the resuilts on tuesday.

take care and thank you.

Hello dachshund, I think that some people do become more unsteady as their arthritis progresses, and that is why they fall. If it hurts to walk, and sometimes even with support it still does, then it is very easy to stumble or trip, so yes, indirectly arthritis does cause one to lose one's balance! Yet another thing to contend with, yes? DD
