Slip and fall?

I slipped on an ice patch in my own back yard and landed on my left ankle. Please say a prayer for healing
Prayers for a speedy recovery also for you and yours
Ow. So sorry I hear that. May you have a swift recovery in the name of Our Lord.
So sorry. Prayers up.
Follow doctor’s orders! Prayers for your healing!
1. DON'T be fooled.
It WILL actually take several months for it to be back to normal. The older you are, the longer it will take.
2. Do ALL the exercises the orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist tell you to do. Don't forget, fail, curtail or shorten them or get weak. Do them religiously.
3. If allowed: Let ice be your ankle's friend for 10 minutes three times a day, then let warm water be your ankle's friend for the same amount of time.
Prayers up for you! A beak heals faster than a sprain! Take the hard stuff and kick back. Hope you have someone to take care of you.
In the quiet, ask God what He wants you to read while resting up. Praying for you.
Praying.
Slip and fall?
Can I sign your cast?
Prayers sent. As for being a klutz, I’ve got you beat. I broke mine walking the dog.
Prayers of healing for you as well.
OW Prayers going up for you.
I’m a clutz, too. It usually hits in clumps, so be real careful.
Prayers.
Prayers that Christ’s hands may guide the doctor who sets your ankle. Hopefully, it’s not multiple bones that are broken.
I considered that when I broke my ankle. In my defense, I was a HS sophomore at the time . . .Wish I remember the name of the movie in which two YLs - one wealthy from LA, the other impecunious from England - impulsively trade living quarters on the spur of the moment without knowing what they are doing.The offensive thing that the movie did, gratuitously, was to have the LA girl slip on the ice and reach up, breaking her fall by grabbing a tree branch above her. As a survivor of having my bell rung by falling on the sidewalk because I could not avoid slipping on a hidden ice patch I was on the lookout for, and could not protect myself from the fall, I just found that offensive.
You and I know that it does not work that way. If you slip on ice, you are halfway to the ground before you can do much about it. And if you hit the cement with your head, even with a little padding (e.g, your hand), you will not remember anything after you started to fall.
Ice underfoot is no joke. The more so if you are “old enough to know better.” Even using the walking sticks I got for Christmas I am still gun shy over the possibility of slippery conditions.
So sorry, infool7. God bless you and may you heal quickly under His loving care.
Yeah, it’s a mess. They did a good job setting it in the ER so it’s not as painful but I’ll need surgury to finish the job. Thanks for pinging your list. I love my FReeper family, all of the comments are so uniquely FR there is no place like it.
I am keeeping everyone here especially blackelk in my prayers.
Prayers for a speedy recovery!
The movie is called “Holiday”, funny too.
ICE = BAD
Except when its just a chip in two fingers of Jameson.
