Ouch and ouch again!
Have you ever thought that, if only I had not done this, or that, then I would not be in the situation Im in now!
Well Im now sat bed bound with a broken pelvis after someone had spit clear motor oil on a tiles car park floor and I went down like a sack of spuds!!!
No fun at all.... I was taken to the hospital, which luckily was not far from this hotel...
The hotel immeditley paid the bill, feeling guilty I guess??
but Im now stuck with months of mending..
will keep you all posted..thanks for all the well wishes...

Diagnosis
ReplyDeleteAll pelvic fractures require X-rays, usually from different angles, to show how out of place the bones are. A computed tomography (CT) scan may be ordered to define the extent of the pelvis injury and other associated injuries. The physician will also examine the blood vessels and nerves to the legs to see if they have been injured.
Treatment
Nonsurgical Treatment
Stable fractures, such as the avulsion fracture experienced by an athlete, will normally heal without surgery. The patient will have to use crutches or a walker, and will not be able to put all of his or her weight on one or both legs for up to three months, or when the bones are healed. The doctor may prescribe medication to lessen pain. Because mobility may be limited for several months, the physician may also prescribe a blood-thinner to reduce the risk of blood clots forming in the veins of the legs.
last night I slept quite well eventually I was in a lot of pain even after taking medicine. John is looking at me very well and today I will try to start using a wheelchair.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everybody for all the well wishes and keep you all posted as to what is going on I posted on Facebook as well. I'm using my DragonBar dictation so I don't have to type it is quite painful to lean over my laptop.
If these injuries are addressed, the fracture usually heals well. People may walk with a limp for several months because of damage to the muscles around the pelvis. Thse muscles take a long time to become strong again. Subsequent problems, such as pain, impaired mobility, and sexual dysfunction, are usually the result of damage to nerves and organs that is associated with the pelvic fracture.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazedat all the stuff that you can read on the Internet about a fractured pelvis as I posted on this board I am gobsmacked with the timeframes but I wil use them carefullyand carry on writing as much as I can in fact I'm not typing and talking and my computer types which is brilliant and I can rest a hate being in pain so I might take my mind off it.
