oh katie, sounds so very painful. as you know i have fallen several times this past year. trust me you will find more places that hurt, places you didn't even know you had. just sit yourself down and stay there. whatever makes the pain go away , do it. keep an eye on all your spots that hurt . if swelling doesn't start to go down, go see dr. one of my falls i fractured my foot. it didn't even hurt, so keep an eye out for swelling that lasts to long i can truly say, i feel your pain. or rather i did . hugs and kisses
babe
Thanks, babe, for your input. It IS painful, but the swelling is going down very nicely. I've been staying off my feet since it happened and I'm seeing the benefit of that. I rested much more comfortably last night. Didn't even have to take any Excedrin.
Still going to keep low today. Probably sit in the recliner, with legs elevated, and read or knit. Glenn's been sweet and has been doing a lot of extra "stuff" to help out. Turned the bed down again last night and helped me get comfortable.
Today I'm trying some pain creme from Tylenol called Precise. Slathered a bunch of it on after my morning shower. So far I think I'm feeling some relief. BUT...I'm going to be very, very careful the next several days.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I'm still kicking...but not as high.
Alix, I'm glad you have the electronics gremlins at bay. Maybe it was sunspots!!!!
