Very, very bad day...

Poppyg1rl

Well, i obviously didn't get enough of a&e waiting areas an X-ray departments yesterday for the blasted shoulder.
I fell down the stairs at home lunchtime, tripped on some fallen washing (socks) and...I've broken my wrist.
Trying to type with my thumb on my right hand (I'm L handed!)
3 hours in a&e and a full plaster cast on my arm, plus methotrexate tonight, woo hoo.
Feeling very sorry for myself
Sorry to bring anyone down, hope you are all as painfree as possible

Oh poppy what are you like! You are the second one to fall down the stairs this week on this site.. You'll have to take more water with it!!!
Joking aside I feel for you, I broke my wrist( well someone broke it for me but thats another story) and had it in plaster for weeks and had complications and now its riddled with OA. Hope you have a speedy recovery
P.s Glad I live in a bungalow

Thankyou everyone for kind thoughts and words, feeling very miserable.
My boys are running round helping me bless em, and hubby doing tea etc.
Pain is incredible, even though I've taken 2 tramadol it's got it's own heartbeat under the plaster.
Oh well, could always be worse, and I'd much rather it happen to me than one of my lads!
Thanks again everyone you are lovely people, off to try and lie down
Hugs Poppy X

Wouldn't like to say hun but if you can source your nearest emergency pharmacy give them a ring and ask to speak to the pharmacist, hope that helps.....

Hi Poppy,

Oh that hurts... but the really bad pain will not last too long. Its bad luck you broke something flower and I do hope you will soon be able to use the hand to some degree soon. leaving you a ((( ))) anda hope you will find it eases soon for you. Cris x

Hi Cris, Sticky, Tony and everyone who gave me support and advice,
I ended up going back to a&e around 3am, couldn't take it anymore Hubby insisted as I was sat crying.
Orthopaedics saw me and have changed the cast I was in as it was not suitable for someone with PA. They can't do much for 10 days but in back then to X-ray again an review. The pain is much better as the position of the cast is much more comfortable.
My sister works in a&e incidentally but in paediatrics, she was off shift yesterday, typical! But a few friends of hers were on early this morning and really made things so much better quickly (I had some decent pain relief for a start) no idea what they injected but instant relief.
So I'm ok this morning, had some sleep, and on the mend.
Thankyou to everyone that sent encouragement, advice and hugs I really appreciate it and still need the hugs!!

Morning Poppy, I'm glad that got it sorted for you hun.. If what they have you was an injection into the muscle it was probably my favourite of all... Pethedine....
Lovely stuff... Lol

Take good care of yourself..

Hi Poppy
You poor thing, I am so sorry you broke your wrist, no wonder you are in agony, I do hope the new cast will ease things a little for you.
I have done the same...not broke anything but thrown the washing down the stairs and fell over it.
I do hope your pain eases very soon
Sending you some gentle hugs (((()))
Love

oh Poppygirl!

Just wanted to wish you well and hope you are feeling better this morning. From one lefty to another its terribly hard work trying to lead with the right hand! its so easy to drop socks when carrying the laundry - i do it all the time, you just be careful on those stairs with a poorly wing.

Feel better soon,

Jennyx

Oh dear Poppy!

Just catching all this and so sorry to see it. Hope your latest trip to hossie and the new cast has made a difference and that the pain is under control now for you.
I leave some more healing hugs to add to the good wishes here and hope you are comfortable and able to rest up. ((( )))
take care
Chris

Just wanted to say that I am glad that they have sorted your cast for you and I hope that things will have settled down for you now. Make sure that you rest as much as you can and when you can.

I turn my back for one minute and what do you go and do? Honestly. :roll: You daft 'aapporth, Poppy, I am so, so sorry to read this saga. I am glad that you had the cast re-done and that things are feeling a little more comfortable for you, but what a thing to happen. I hope the pain has eased and that the dullers are dong a better job of taking off the edge. DD
