SuzieQ Posted January 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2015 Amongst other things, had a solid box under my right arm and landed on my side on the box. Made it back inside but was way too dizzy to get up off the floor for a couple of hours. Had Nixie and my daughters cat sitting staring at me. Dizzyness has gone, but my ribs really hurt, and it hurts to move. Black ice sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzieQ Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted January 13, 2015 To dizzy to get off the floor for a couple hours? Did you hit your head? no, I think landing on the box saved my head probably just the pain and shock that left me so dizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgun Posted January 13, 2015 Share #15 Posted January 13, 2015 I hope it's not too serious. I fell on ice last winter and screwed my shoulder up. It's still not right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted January 13, 2015 Share #16 Posted January 13, 2015 I hope it's not too serious. I fell on ice last winter and screwed my shoulder up. It's still not right. Shoot, I fell on the ice and landed on my hip about 10 years ago, and it still hurts sometimes. I think I must have had a hairline fracture or somesuch, because it really hurt for about 4 months after (all the time), and less so over time. Hips suck.

Parr8hed Posted January 14, 2015 Share #31 Posted January 14, 2015 Hope you feel better. Remember to try and expand your lungs with deep breaths every few hours. Cough really well every couple of hours as well. It is important to keep your lungs expanded especially with rib injuries. Guarding, or not expanding your lungs can lead to increased chance of pneumonia, clots, all kinds of things that you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
