Fell over :((

[Kate1970]

Evening ... Not been on here much as really trying to get hold of this HA
I'm so protective of myself as I have doctor fear(which I'm getting ready to address) and HA so I try my hardest not to do anything to cause me to need a hospital/doctor visit!!!!
So I thought if would be fun to scooter up the lane with the kids haha no fun at all the handle bars came off I was left with the bottom of the stunt scooter under my feet yup straight over onto my left side around ribs bloody having big pre-menstrual boobs didn't help the fall damn things seemed to go the wrong way haha!!
So wasn't to winded but have a heavy painful feeling on ribs and around left breast and it hurts to move in certain positions... I'm pretty sure nothing's broken as I can breath deeply, bit tender mind you, I was shaken up shivering etc but had some ibuprofen and nice warm bath I know I'm gonna be sore as hell in the morning so pre rang work to say I wouldn't be in tomoro eve, I work with dementia patients,.
Think I just need a few kind words and reassurance that I haven't caused a life threatening injury and have in reality just had a wee bad fall and brushed and strained the muscles around my left breast and ribs ;)

You have done the right thing taking painkillers and having a warm bath. Make sure you rest. We do silly things sometimes don't we :D When my son was little I had a go of his pogo stick thing (the ones with a big ball on the end) I snapped the handle on that :(

Sorry to hear about your spill but it's good you can laugh about it (I admit I had a little chuckle visualizing the look on your face when the handle bars came off and the pre-menstrual boobs part ~lol~).

So yeah, you're gonna be sore for a while but as you said, nothing's broken, just a little bruised. Just be glad no one had a camera! From the sound of it, it would have been a top candidate for a fail video!

Feel better and positive thoughts

I too am really sorry about your fall, but I have to say that you've written your post with such humour and fun that I couldn't help but chuckle. I've been feeling a bit fed up today and you have lifted my mood, thank you.

That aside, I think you have a soft tissue injury, it will probably hurt for a while, discolour and then harden a little. If it does get any worse though perhaps have a telephone consultation with your GP? Oh, and secure the handle bars on the bike.

I hope you're better soon :hugs: xx
