You live in the Northern states and i live in Canada and we get snow. You fall sounds horrible and I am very careful because, due to my Ehlers-Danlos, it is difficult to break a bone but i can suffer severe sprains and bad tendons etc.. A few years ago (2009) I slipped on a little rock and my right foot was so bad I had to wear a boot for 6 wks. I can't do crutches because of my condition-I do more damage. You falls sound horrible and will await your next postBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-2756473497441739782015-11-20T18:35:30.883-05:002015-11-20T18:35:30.883-05:00Wait till you read how I fell in part two.

My mother in law, in her late 80's, managed to fall Saturday on a carpeted indoor surface. But yes, snow terrifies me, a lot more than carpeted surfaces. For right now that is.

A month later he was in hospital having spinal stenosis surgery. We had forgotten about the fall until the doctor reminded us. Another time, he was trying to help someone who had fallen in the garage and ended up falling backward damaging his vertebrae so had to have another op. He has been told, severely, call an ambulance don't try and help someone like that. They too could have had a break of some kind. Sorry to hear about your leg and I am not sure I want to hear about an even worse event. Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.com
