Need some healing thoughts [View all]
Feel guilty asking, but I made a big mistake yesterday morning in taking my dog out without her halti. Hubby wasn't up when I got back from taking my son to the bus, but he let the dog out of the bedroom. I figured I'd take her out before I got out of my coat and settled down for breakfast. Just as I was taking a step off he porch, she heard another dog and went nuts. Her 80lbs had enough force to pull me off balance and I fell from about 2 ft, landing on concrete taking the brunt of my fall on my sternum.
After I could breathe again, I got into the house and hubby got up to take me to the ER. Nothing is broken, but I'm in a world of hurt every time I go to move with pain from my sternum in the front, left ribs, around to either side of my spine. Can't raise my left arm more than a couple of inches. The dr said I must have landed like Pete Rose sliding into base.
Amazingly, my head, neck, arms, knees, and hips checked out fine. I just can't get over how much pain the slightest move causes and I'm having a hard time even getting comfortable to rest. BTW, i never let go of the leash and the dog didn't pull away from me. She did come over and look at me like "What are you doing down there?"
