I'm in a right pickle.

[Raven]

I've landed myself in hospital, slipped on black ice and broken my tibia bone. 😭 The break has also damaged my replacement knee. I'm to have an operation tomorrow and they will see if they can patch it up with pins and screws.. If not it's another knee replacement after the tibia has healed itself, I'm out of action for the foreseeable, no driving, no swimming, no Clydes, no nothing. 
I can't believe this has happened, I'm so annoyed at myself for not paying attention. The temp was to be rising a lot today, not going down. Heaven knows how long I will be in the hospital. Feeling angry, embarrassed and miserable. 😭

[klondike]

That's terrible. Best of luck with the operation tomorrow. Let's hope it works and reduces the time you are out of action.

[Diasi]

Same as what Klondike has said.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

[GrannyMac]

Poor you Raven, I can understand your frustration! I hope you feel better soon. 💐

[Cassandra]

How awful for you dear lady. I wish you all the best for the 'Op' and a painless recovery.

[Ashy]

I'm sorry to hear of this and hope the operation is successful.

[Michael Rolls]

oh dear, I am so sorry for you. Let's hope the op goes well and you have a quick recovery.

[Sheila]

Oh dear Raven.  I hope you start to feel better soon.

[Scrumpy]

Oh ! Raven.. What a bummer.. 
I always admired you when you said how much ice and snow you were having and STILL taking the hairy one out..  When I was loathe to climb the couple of steps from my house.. until I had spread grit on them.. and walking in the middle of the road because the pavements were icy.. I thought I was a woosie..

  I hope all goes well with the op today..  Much love to you.. xx

[Jacqueline]

Poor you Raven, it is so easy to take one wrong move and you have done yourself so much damage, my husband fell up one step and landed up with a hip replacement.

I hope all goes well with your op. and you will be back on your feet soon, my thoughts are with you, all the best, love,  Jac xx 

[Raven]

Thanks Guys, I'm really scared about this as it's a real mess according to my CT Scan first thing. Surgeon says it's not a clean break and he has to rebuild my knee. Says there could be blood transfusions as there will be a lot of blood loss. Will have metal plates and screws in side. Maybe 3 to 4 hours. God I can't believe this happened I feel such a fool. 

[Michael Rolls]

not a fool - just dreadfully unlucky

[Jacqueline]

Don't worry too much Raven, my daughter had a bad car accident years ago and broke both legs, one with a compound fracture, took some time to repair but all healed up eventually.  Although it sounds scary I am sure you will be fine, your Surgeon sounds like he knows what he is doing.

[Raven]

Morning Guys, and Thanks, I went to theatre just before 2pm yesterday but it was 10pm before I got back to the ward. 😲😲 Don't know why but I will see the surgeon again today on his rounds, and see if I can get some answers. Had a painful night, hope it starts to ease soon.
Not a good WiFi connection here keeps coming and going.

If I had my boots with the ice grips on then I doubt it would have happened. I had been Out with Dageus and it was fine, drying up and the roads clear. The road just looked wet, I don't know where the ice suddenly came from. 😭

[Scrumpy]

Was it black ice !! eh!!
Did you have to wait for an ambulance.. ?  and how long waiting to be seen and getting a bed..?
Down here you would still be laying in the ambulance..

I do hope all goes well.. It would seem that your treatment has been wonderful...
