Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / May 2005I found the only pothole in a parking lot
I found it with my left foot. Went down like a ton of bricks. Got a contusion on my right knee and have an ace bandage and air cast on my sprained left ankle. Doc gave me samples of Celebrex and a script for Vicodon as needed. Quick Care at the hospital said rest and ice. My doctor said walk and keep the bandage and cast on for two to three months. I do use a cane. I wasn't using in the house (use it mostly for balance--which obviously didn't work on Friday when I took the tumble). Now I'm using it in the house too. I was taking my dog to the groomer. He turned out real nice. Got his summer haircut and looks like the lab part of the lab/spaniel mix he is. I'd love to have the long curly hair but just can't keep it combed properly. I'm thinking of letting his ears look spaniel and the rest of him look lab. Should be an interesting effect. Nell ack! i'm sorry to hear this, nell. i know falling is a big fear for many of us. we need to see a pix of your pup! diane (((((((((nell))))))))) don't you just hate it when those potholes keep moving around to make sure you step in it?! i'm sorry you were hurt nell. your dog sounds like an interesting mixture. can't help wondering what he looks like. bet he's cute. kate >I found it with my left foot.

(_<_) Sorry about your mishap. I have an Australian Shepherd that I usually shave in the summer. I have them leave his fluffy ears and glorious tail. He feels like a different dog when he is shaved. He is more spry. I hate to shave him because his hair is like silk and I love to cuddle with him (*as does my husband). He does not shed, thank Heaven. We haven't shaved him yet this summer. Maybe I won't even do it this year. He is in the house all the time where it is cool so with his arthritis limiting his going in the car, he doesn't get much chance to get hot. Anyway, again, sorry about your fall. Hope you feel better soon. Val in Boise | Owie.. {{{{{Nell}}}} | Duckie [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] | > | > Nell Oh Gee, too bad.

Broken hips, knees, and whatever are what we all are afraid of. My problem used to be that I would not raise my foot high enough when walking across the street and going over the curb. Your dog sounds great. I am going to get me another one one of these days. Harv Hope you heal quickly jb |I found it with my left foot. Went down like a ton of bricks.

Sprained ankles are just hateful. I hope all heals quickly. Lab/spaniel mix, eh? sounds just adorable and I bet he's a fun-loving pooch. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Oww! No fun! Hope everything heals up well and quickly. Does your dog look more like a lab or a spaniel? We have a lab/ golden retriever mix. She's mostly lab, but with slightly longer fur and a mostly retriever face (except for a lab's triangular ears).

We used to have some nasty ones in NYC during the winter. Your dog sounds adorable, we want to see photos! :) Carole Nell not the way to find a pot hole. Hope you heal quickly.
