Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / January 2005Can you believe it? What next?
I hope you all had a nice Xmas and New Year.I finally have a chance to get back to my pc.I recently spent 6 days in the hospital. Can you believe this crap? On the morning of Dec. 30, at about2:30 am, I fell down in my own bathroom, broke my leg, and remained on the floor for about four hours. As far as I can piece it together, I got up early in the am to do my business, and as I was standing there peeing, became dizzy, and fell backward, and crashed to the floor. My left leg was trapped between the toilet and the sink and as I hit the floor could hear and feel the bone break.It was a spiral fracture of the fibula. This turned out to be one of the suckiest weeks of my life. . >I hope you all had a nice Xmas and New Year.I finally have a chance to get >back to my pc.I recently spent 6 days in the hospital.

May the rest of 2005 be much nicer for you. Thank You, I really could use a break, and a little good luck.

Hi SusiQ, no actually this Tuesday's shot will be #24, so I'm nearly halfway there. Started on Aug. 3rd 2004. Halfway there, woohoo. John ///////// > Oh my goodness! > Bless your heart John.

I hope that your pain levels have now dropped. I can well understand that bit about the dizziness on tx. I got out of bed one morning and was all over the place. Fortunately, it was only really bad on one day but I did get much milder versions of it at other times too. I had to carefully select when I worked and which jobs I did because much of my work involves climbing ladders. You don't say if you are still on tx or not. Tx could slow down the healing process I think. That must have been real painful laying there for four hours. Hope you manage to pull things together.  SignaturePaul Use the reply by email facility in your newsreader to send email Yes Paul, I'm still on tx. Though at times like this, I wonder why.

I know, I know, you're trying to live by that old, "if something is worth doing it's worth doing well" saying, but jeez, man, you don't have to try so hard!!! That does suck. Hope the leg heals as quickly and nicely as possible. And until you get your bearings, it's okay to sit down to pee (we won't tell). Hmmm though, that might not be so easy now with your leg in a cast... Poor guy, you have my sympathy! Waterspider It has been suggested to me by my doctor that I learn to go sitting down.

My wife trained me 20 yrs ago. Also, I have no problem admitting I pee sitting down, at least in the middle of the night. I mean, there you are, half-awake but needing to pee. Do you really want to turn on a light and wake you wide up? Or worse, try to aim in the dark? rick > It has been suggested to me by my doctor that I learn to go sitting down. > John If there are any other males in your home, make sure you warn them to put the seat down after they use the facility. Take it from me, there's nothing worse than a middle-of-the-night sleepy stumble to the bathroom to sit on the toilet to find the seat not where it should be... like stepping down on something that's a few inches lower than you expected it to be, teeth-jarring to say the least.

When flushing a toilet bowl, with the lid up, there is fine splashes of water that no one notices generally, but it does spray enough to contaminate some toothbrushes. I live alone now, but always put the lid down. However, in the past, I've had my share of falling in the toilet during the wee hours of the morning. Not putting the light on so as not to disturb anyone, but my husband or one of his boys would leave the lid up. Living with three men, I got tired of the floor being soaked in the morning. The 12 year old boy said he couldn't control it during the middle of the night and his Dad was no help. So, I tied the 12 year olds new tennis shoes to the toilet bowl for a week. I didn't have any more trouble with him missing the toilet after that. A 12 year old should be able to hit the toilet or sit down at 3 a.m....just like my husband did, whose mother taught him that. I'd be disgusted too if I went in to a bathroom where a woman left tampons sitting on top of the trash..Proper disposal is basic courtesy that is should be taught to girls by their Mom or some other close female relative, just like leaving the toilet seat down should be taught to boys. Susie Hi SusieQ, That's a good point you make about the fine droplets contaminating things in the bathroom, especially toothbrushes, yuck.My pet bathroom peeve is going into a public restroom at the movies, malls, etc, and having to stand in someone else's pee because they are also unable to aim properly. Oh well, we are animals after all, the difference is we can think and speak. Right now there is a really loud electrical storm in this part of the Hawaiian Island chain, and a system just moved over from Kauai, and it is somewhat alarming, I hope we do not lose power. At another time I would have celebrated storms like this, but, being alone, and now with a fractured leg, I am not enjoying it at all.It seems that I keep tripping over everything around me, and I never was all that coordinated in the first place. What a challenge. G'nite kiddo. John >>>>>It has been suggested to me by my doctor that I learn to go sitting >>>>>down.

What a challenge. G'nite kiddo. > John Hi John, Your trials remind me of an experience that I had forgotten... One December a few years back, I managed to sprain both ankles, one severely so I was on crutches for years (just weeks, actually, but it seemed like years). Long story short, I decided a nice long bath with my feet elevated on the edge of the tub, good book etc etc would be pleasant. It was difficult manouvering my way into the tub, but worth the effort. It was wonderful! At least until I tried to get out of the tub. With both ankles sprained, one severely. I lived alone. I drained the bath but that made things worse by taking away the buoyancy of the water. Did I mention that part of my bath ritual is smoking a joint? My wonderful bath ended up a nightmare. (obviously) I eventually and with much pain struggled my way on to the bathroom floor, and was left with the knowledge that foresight and planning are far more important when you have an injury involving feet/legs. Good luck! Waterspider Re: Can you believe it? What next?

Susie ////////// I agree. I also think bathroom etiquette should be taught to all children beginning in kindergarten and ending just before they receive their high school diplomas. Perhaps, universities should offer degree programs in Bathroom Behavior (BB).

I know, I know, you're trying to live by that old, "if something is worth doing it's worth doing well" saying, but jeez, man, you don't have to try so hard!!! That does suck. Hope the leg heals as quickly and nicely as possible. And until you get your bearings, it's okay to sit down to pee (we won't tell). Hmmm though, that might not be so easy now with your leg in a cast... Poor guy, you have my sympathy! Waterspider /////////// Use the mop bucket to pee in for now, John.

This reminds me of the time when I lived with an Italian lady for a few years. When she went shopping, she never kept to the same brand of bathroom accesories so, due to a messy bathroom, I always had to hunt for what I wanted through odd coloured tubes, containers etc. This situation wasn't helped by her often buying stuff that had Italian wording on it so I often couldn't read the contents. One morning, I went to brush my teeth and was unable to find the toothpaste tube. My eyes settled on a tube that proclaimed "Pasta di fina" (or something like that). So I started brushing my teeth with it thinking how odd it tasted. It turned out to be skin cream. Yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk !!!

Dang John...I guess the goddess of fate felt like you were getting too much exercise. Here I was all glad to see you post and this is what I get? :-) I am glad to see it was nothing worse that kept you incommunicado. Spiral fracture huh? Did they have to pin it or is a cast going to be it? I broke my fibula, tibula and femur once and never had a cast. Course in retrospect that may have been better than the operations to put the pins and rod in (btw..hope they didn't have to give you any blood <g>). Hang tough guy...that was still 2004....2005 HAS to be better. hugs AG It's an interesting cast, more like a brace. Made of metal and velcro. It allows one to take it off temporarily, to bathe, etc.It is supposed to take about 1 month in the cast,with a two week check up on the 20th.Thank goodness no pins or surgeries.At least my hospital room had a tv, with cable no less, and almost instant response for service. At first they had my vitals connected to a monitor, they they had me connected to a wireless transmitter in a bag tied around my neck. Every time I moved or changed position, one of the parameters they were monitoring would vary slightly, resulting in a breathless technician showing up at my hospital bed, demanding to know what was wrong? There were a number of fairly small antennae scattered through the ward in the ceiling tiles.. obviously some telemetry going on there. >> I hope you all had a nice Xmas and New Year.I finally have a chance to >> get [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > hugs > AG Damn, man!!!!
