Fell smashed head against floor or maybe wall outside. Don't remember. Someone saw called ambulance. Not get in so fuzz came got in through window. Dunno.

Eye socket broken in ttwo places abovr and three below, and cheekbone. Nose. Jaw. Skull on left temple. don't know but CT scan showed lots of fractures.

would not go into hospital because of Pereg. Can't see but coulnt leave her

fee; bad can't typr don't know where I am.

Oh Gandra,how awful-I am so sorry to hear this.Please take good care and let us know how you are xxx

Ouch, get well soon xxxxxxxxx

Masses of kisses and hugs xxxxxxx

Trying to make sense but can't think straight and can't see well. Hospital wanted me to stay in 3 days on IV antibiotics but wouldn't listen when I said I'm allergic to them. And kept saying I had to go home as Pereg was tied up indoors with no water and they said she's only a dog.

She is not \"only a dog\" she's a 16 month old puppy who is terrified of people.

Hospital refused to let me out - security guys held onto my wheelchair and when I said sod it I'm going so got on ground to crawl out got grabbed me and dragged back.

My upper arms have bruising finger marks - obvious finger marks. Shoulders half dislocated. Hips and knees and elbows ripped open from them dragging me. And in the end doctors said sign this whatever it was and you can go.

But will get a massive bill for ER treatment. Won't pay. Let them sue me. Ditto for ambulance which I did not call and did not want.

I fell. That's all. OK was bad fall but felt like being in prison not an ER.

Eye terrible - can't see out of it. Face swollen and bruised and can't see. Thank goodness for touch typing so can at least type.

Such pain though. would cry but even that hurts. Just want to sleep but think with concussion not good don't know though.

Dunno what I said. Think I posted twice. Forget. Sorry

Whos counting sweetness xxxx

Kept falling, losing balance if I leaned forward in my chair - bang on the ground and couldn't get up for ages. Last straw was falling onto loo [kept upchucking] smashed head on it, thought gotta go back.

Eventually found a wonderful dog \&quot;Pension\&quot; on an adjacent Moshav, after having been let down for two days by promises by the Shelter where I adopted Pereg of being told that one would be found. Can't remember who gave me the phone number of this place.

Phoned the man, said I didn't know how long it would be for and he said don't worry, and he collected her about an hour later.

So Pereg picked up - ambulance called - back to hospital for more tests. Two more skull CTs - eye specialist, who told me I need specs [I've worn specs since I was six but didn't have them on - maxillary facial specialist - Orthopod - X-rayed just about everywhere. Kept in over night and then they phoned my neighbour to come and collect me, assuming she would keep looking in on me to check I was OK, only as soon as we got home she shot off to her brother and hasn't been seen since.

Got chucked out far too quickly but the hospital was expecting [and got] major problems starting Saturday late evening, so they discharged as many patients as they could.

BUT they should have made sure that there was someone to help me at home. I am still extremely dizzy and frightened of falling again.

Pereg was apparently very happy in her temporary digs - didn't want the guy [don't even know his name] to go when he brought her home, and sulked for hours afterwards!

So good to know there is such a good local place for her in an emergency.

Oh, left little finger dislocated on all joints in a zigzag pattern in last fall - looked terrible and hurt like hell. Effing ER doctor grabbed top and pulled hard - finger straightened but broken so splinted with ring finger and both strapped together.

But - considering the fact that I have Osteoporosis and am bruised on every possible joint [and other places], how come I got away without breaking something other than facial bones and a little finger? Think that's all.

Still can't eat but at least I can keep fluids down now. My luck my liquidizer just packed up - got stick blenders but they won't really do. Am going to try a scrambled egg later. Losing 5kg in a week might sound great to some people but not for me.

Sorry for rambling but no-one else to talk to really.

Sorry, double post again - just like my vision :blink:<br><br>Post edited by: Gandra, at: 2010/05/16 15:46
