easy child and I got out of a taxi at the mall on our way to meet my cousin. He is in a wheel chair and we were going to help him do his Christmas shopping since its impossible for him to navigate with a cart in the crowds this time of year. She and I both fell, she kind of caught herself. She hurt her shoulder/upper arm, and her foot. Nothing broken thank goodness! Just sore and bruised a bit. She falls 'well" from all the years playing hockey. She was some shaken up though and the initial hour after had a horrible limp going and couldn't move her arm.
As for me, I felt hard on my right side. My head bounced 2-3 times, smashed really, into the frozen ground/snow/ice. My upper body twisted wrong and my shoulder popped out. I have torn muscles and ligaments all over. Shoulder, neck, mid and lower back, shoulder blades, right hip and upper leg. Twisted my left foot. I have a bulge the size of a plate on my upper outter right leg that hurts so bad i just keep crying. Even clothes hurts it. doctor is suspecting nerve damage, pinches etc in a few spots. My right wrist is sprained. I have a concussion and a major killer migraine. I've been xrayed from one end to the other. I hurt everywhere. I was so humiliated, I had wet myself from the impact of the fall, I hit that hard. To make it worse, had to walk into mall that way. nothing else nearby to even call a taxi or anything, and it was -30 celcius with wind chill and we were frozen and covered in snow and soaked. No mall management on site since it was after 5p.m. which really peeved me to no end. I mean come on, no management after 5p.m. for a big mall? That's insane. i was given a small sheet of paper to write 'a complaint'. They called a taxi for me, didn't help us cross the mall to wait for the taxi or anything. Bunch of useless tools.
So I'm shot up full of morphine and toradol. Had to go to pharmacy to fill 3 scripts to start in the morning. I can't imagine how long healing will take given MS has done damage to my muscles and nerves already. I just want to curl up and cry and cry and cry.
Please if you could, send some healing vibes. easy child had to go to her dads house to sleep. No way I could give her the attention she needed at all tonight or get her ready for school tomorrow morning. I only just got back from the ER after 11:30 p.m.
Today stunk!
