As a Rehab* Nurse, I highly recommend that you get a properly fitted cane and/or crutches, as well as physical therapy to ensure proper healing. *That's Physical Rehab, not Drug/Alcohol Rehab! My condolences.

OTOH, my liver is enjoying the break. (No pun intended.) I’d say that I need one of those, but it’s the stuff that I’d put in the tube that got me here in the first place.

The handle unscrews to reveal a jigger-sized glass tube. One of the things I inherited from my Mom is her cane. It’s solid wood with a brass tip and a brass handle.

So far, the knee's recovering nicely. I've got a brace that keeps me from bending it, which is probably what led to the fracture - after the first injury the thing was weak and I probably should've been staying off my feet. The cane is turning out to be cooler than I'd originally thought. Granted, my right hand and wrist are tired, but it's nice being able to grab things without having to get up, or to change the TV channels without needing a remote.

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:13:51 +0000 http://www.chubbymommy.com/?p=295#comment-3694 I feel for ya. That's got to HURT! I tripped because of a chuckhole in a parking lot and fell on my knees onto a speed bump. It took three people to get me a wheelchair and I thought for sure I'd broken something. But no breaks, just massive bruising and tissue injury which took almost 6 months before clothing touching my knee stopped bothering me. Just 3 days ago, I tripped over a twig in the back yard (yes, a TWIG) and landed on my right knee again, the one most severely injured by the speed bump. This time I screwed up my elbow and can't lift my right arm above my head or completely straighten it. I'd much prefer an anti-klutz pill over a pain pill... but then that's because I already get pretty good pain stuff :-) I feel for ya. That’s got to HURT!

Some pharmacies rent out crutches and they have various sizes. Although I think a cane looks a bit more fashionable myself if you are out and about. I hope you have a quick recovery! Tai-Tai Hi
