Hombre Lego Mexicano on Nostr: BnB I fell on the stairs and tore all the ligaments in my hip, and damaged a nerve ...
BnB (npub1uhq…v4m8) I fell on the stairs and tore all the ligaments in my hip, and damaged a nerve bundle called the lumbar plexus. It expresses itself by burning pain and swelling in my foot and ankle, even though there's actually nothing wrong with my foot or ankle.
This all happened back in May, and my right leg has been like a thigh-high stocking full of ham until just recently. If my wife wasn't the manager of a home health care business, I'd probably be posting from a nursing home right now.
The accident was actually pretty cool because I was carrying a 2-liter bottle of soda when I fell. It was orange soda. When I dropped it, it bounced a few times, then the cap ruptured, and it went rocketing down the stairs, bouncing off the walls spewing soda everywhere, managed to make the turn at the landing, and gave my wife a good dousing on its way down. I remember thinking, "Oh, that looks so COOL!!!" My wife chewed me out about the soda for a while before asking me if I was ok. I said "I'm fine," dusted myself off, picked up the rest of the groceries, and finished going up the stairs.
Famous last words. Two days later I woke up screaming and couldn't walk. Stayed like that for two weeks before I could see a doctor, and it was three months before they took me seriously and crossed out "drug-seeking behavior" in my file.
Now I'm terrified of those stairs. It was months before I could go up or down them without hyperventilating. What a numpty I am, fell up the stairs like Joe Biden lol.
