Update on fall

Tweet

Well, last week I took a fall, I've posted a link to the discussion. Anyway, I really haven't had a lot of pain, despite it hurting so bad that I couldn't get up when I fell. In fact, I thought I was doing really well, I had a twinge on that Friday and another bad twinge a couple of days later, but, on the whole, I have really had no pain otherwise. Until Thursday night. Back in 2002 or 2003, I bought a new mattress, I mean, I literally hadn't had a new mattress in like 20 years at that point, and I really got it for @maggiepie - but she didn't like it. Still, that was 15 or so years ago, and while the support and stuff weren't bad, I've had a couple of elderly and sick cats lately. And it was 15 years ago. So, I got a new mattress, and I'm now in a cat-free room at night - I miss sleeping with the cats, but having one pee on me, I don't miss that. Now, this new mattress, that I have propped up on a wedge so my head is elevated, keeps slipping the fitted sheet. Thursday night I attempted to adjust the sheet before I went to sleep, I kneeled on the mattress and I was suddenly in agony from my knee. It hurt as bad as it hurt the week before when I fell. So, I've called the doctor's office and am going to see him on Monday. I've been to the emergency clinic twice since I last saw him (the hamster bite and the cat bite) and the pain clinic 3 times. Maybe the pain clinic 4 or 5 times. I suspect that he's going to send me to get an x-ray or an MRI, I doubt an x-ray would show anything personally, but what do I know? So, just so anyone who might be interested, thought I'd post a little update.
