Currently lying in a hospital bed with a very very VERY badly broken leg awaiting surgery. I'm on Morphine and all I can think about it Sherlock on Morphine haha! I'm whiling the time away writing fanfic!

Oh, all the best for the operation and I hope you will be better soon.

**Posted by Harriet** August 21, 2014 10:38 am

Right! All the best for your leg

(I hope you did not fall on someone's bins? (Just joking!) )

I hope the surgery will help you! That sounds painful!

I'm in bed right now, got 'kicked' home from work because of my pain and me trying to hide it... so I'm just watching telly.

Haha no bins...just a very very unlucky run in with my dog and her lead while going down a hill...I'm so bored I may start shooting walls though

I have gory pics if anyone is interested...I'm out of surgery now and beautifully high on morphine!

Watching Reichenbach...

Hello back! I don't want to see pics, thanks. But I'm squeamish, I wouldn't like heads in my fridge either

Fallen walking the dog? Sounds like it happened several times.
Was someone there for help?

**Posted by ComeAtOnceIfConvenient** August 21, 2014 7:50 pm

Harriet surprisingly it's the first time it's happened. I just got tangled up somehow and fell and snap. I'm a paramedic and even I'm not sure how that could have broken my leg so badly but it did haha!

No but luckily the field I was in was right next to a road so I dialled 999 and they came to find me haha!

**Posted by Harriet** August 21, 2014 7:58 pm

The first and only time and such a bad injury! Congrats

How long do you have to stay? Probably it means surgery for several times...

Does your dog feel sorry, at least?

**Posted by ComeAtOnceIfConvenient** August 21, 2014 8:00 pm

I can't stay mad at her, but she didn't leave my side so I think so

Oh I thought you meant had I fallen over the dog before..no I have broken my leg before which is why is was so easy to break this time. I've got 2 plates and 16 screws and a nice metal cage around my leg. One more surgery now and then another one to remove the cage once the plates and bones have fused. I'm in for 5-7 days...

**Posted by Harriet** August 21, 2014 8:12 pm

The least she could do! Does someone take care of her?

Splendid! So you also gained a lot of weight with all this metal. I really hope all goes well.

We once had actually someone here who had a blog with pictures of her leg
http://owmummyithurts.blogspot.com.au/
(She had her leg lengthened, though and it seems the worst pictures are missing by now - phew!)

**Posted by ComeAtOnceIfConvenient** August 22, 2014 3:00 am

Yeah she's with my boyfriend at the moment.

Haha thankfully not too much. Surgical titanium is surprisingly light. I'm glad otherwise I'd feel very lopsided .

Ouch. That sounds painful!

**Posted by Davina** August 22, 2014 10:50 am

I hope your legs heals speedily and that you make a full recovery. Animals eh!

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** August 23, 2014 5:02 pm

I hope you get a lot better with your leg soon too! Enjoy your morphine! Gotta love pain relief!

I've fallen over my dog a lot of times... never broken my leg but cut them up and bruised them pretty badly. The dog always gives me the "OMG, could you walk any slower??" frown when it happens and I have to hopple back home with him on the leash.

(I have the worst balance and always had because of my Scoliosis)... I can pretty much stand still and fall on my face. It's a miracle how I only broke my legs once when I was a small kid and since then only have broken my smaller toes about 20 times.

________

I'm trying to find out what Doctor Who DVD's to watch tonight so I won't feel too sorry for myself... (Denmark only gets the new episodes at the beginning of October; the TV station finally answered me...).
And I'm sort of wondering if my best friend will knock on my door... I went grocery shopping earlier and found her outside my building (at first a bit 'worried' she was there to see me... she's mentally ill and I'm one of the very, very few people she trusts when it gets bad.) She was actually there to spend the night with another of her friends...

Haha that's exactly the look she gave me while I was writhing on the ground in SIGNIFICANT pain! I'm home now yayayayayay! Back in 6 weeks for the cage to be removed!

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** August 24, 2014 10:11 am

Yay! Good to hear you're home already!

You have to love dogs don't you... My dog lives with my mother... and last time it happened he had been giving me that look so bad; right until we made it home to my mum. Then he looked all concerned and wanted to lick my wounds. Pffft!

My co secretary at the hospital has next week off and I've been given her tasks as well... I can not be sick this week.

Just back from my overnight stay in Edinburgh and recovering!

**Posted by ComeAtOnceIfConvenient** September 1, 2014 1:41 pm

Got to go back unfortunately, in 4 weeks . God it's so BORING not being able to walk! I can't go to the gym or play tennis or anything! I'm taking part in the mega sherlock watchalong at the moment and trying to keep myself entertained! I can't work either because paramedics need their legs lol!

**Posted by besleybean** September 1, 2014 3:45 pm

Don't start shooting the walls! I hope your leg is all better soon. It sounds awful not being able to work because of it! Good thing you've got Sherlock!

I have days where I can't walk. I HATE them so much... I always feel so locked in.

Right now I'm reheating lasagne for dinner and just smiling about my guys emails... *giggles like a school girl*
