I done broke my good foot. 🤦🏽♀️
The result of not finishing laundry when you should. Sooo December 27th at 4 am on my way to the restroom, I slipped on a silky laundry bag! I fractured and dislocated it. I was hospitalized for a week because I couldn't go home until I had everything I needed to maneuver. I had a follow-up after the swelling went down with the orthopedic doctor, and he readmitted me. The next day I got surgery which consisted of 3 screws and a metal plate. Alhamdullilah I'm ok and the worst is over. On the road to recovery and healing.
Accidents at home, such as slipping on household items, can lead to serious injuries like fractures and dislocations. It's crucial to be cautious and take preventive steps to maintain safety around the house. After an injury, following a proper recovery plan is essential. Patients often undergo physiotherapy to regain strength and mobility in the affected area. Engaging in light exercises, as prescribed by healthcare professionals, can greatly assist in speeding up recovery. Nutrition also plays a vital role; consuming a well-balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D aids in bone healing. Always consult your orthopedic doctor for personalized advice post-surgery, and remember, patience is key in the healing journey. Sharing experiences like mine can help others understand the emotional and physical challenges faced during recovery.
