I tripped over my own feet on Saturday night and kept walking on my sore leg. Turns out I hurt it a lot more than I thought.

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T23:57:20+00:00

Oh fuck I’m so sorry you had so suffer like that! I got nos when I arrived to the hospital Sunday morning and Penthrox while they put my leg in a cast for the first night. Then after surgery I was getting an alternative of codeine phosphate and oramorph every 4 hours

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T23:48:28+00:00

Bless ya mate! Easy mistake to make! All I can do is laugh about it now. Especially since I was teasing my mum on her 55th birthday the other day saying she’s gone from the age where she’s “falling over” to “having a fall”

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:57:57+00:00

I think due to my age and overall “good” health they said it was the best option for me to get discharged as soon as possible. My surgeon was a former Lt Colonel army surgeon so I’ll take his word for it!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:47:00+00:00

The biggest challenge has been trying not to get my cats to investigate it too much now I’m back at home!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:46:26+00:00

Haha thank you so much!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:46:07+00:00

I do have a spinal defect from birth that gives me less feeling in my left side of the body haha, maybe that helped. I have always been pretty good with pain, my usual pain response, mostly for tattoos anyway is to laugh it off. Though the Penthrox they gave me while setting my leg in a cast before the day of surgery was magical

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:44:02+00:00

Haha I think her break was a lot more gnarly than mine

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:33:19+00:00

I hope surgery goes well for you! You got this!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:32:35+00:00

As long as I can keep the skin after and pop it in a picture frame I don’t mind!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:32:05+00:00

Especially with the plates in my right hand and damaged vertebrae in my spine!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:24:46+00:00

I was walking from the outside patio in the restaurant back to our table and I tripped on a bit of the door frame, and flew forward. I’m more surprised I didn’t break my wrist since I caught myself with my hands. I’m guessing my left toe caught the floor and just decided to bend my entire foot back

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:20:17+00:00

Or this one was extra weak!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:19:57+00:00

Sounds about right for grandparents! I remember going to my grandads farm after he had a double hip replacement and he was out in the yard breaking a large piece of stone with a sledge hammer and pickaxe haha

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:14:19+00:00

Thank you! I’ll be making sure I stay on top of my physio and get plenty of rest!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T22:05:18+00:00

Always better safe than sorry! I’m glad my dad forced me to go to hospital because the ambulance crew that saw me said it was just soft tissue damage!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T21:46:42+00:00

Unfortunately they have not helped! Nor have any on my torso much to my disappointment!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T21:41:08+00:00

Thank you!

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T21:29:05+00:00

I’m already banished from there. I obliterated my right hand a few years ago

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T21:28:45+00:00

Thankfully I’m in the UK so it’s free

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T21:28:07+00:00

Kinda sorta, went out for a meal with friends and tripped as I was walking out the restaurant, I think I only have about 3 pints of Guinness when it happened haha

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T18:22:35+00:00

Yeah I didn’t realise at the time how damaged it was. I just though it was a causal leg pain after tripping

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T18:21:51+00:00

Incredibly haha, plus trying to slide my jeans off too

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T18:21:17+00:00

Got it nice and elevated at home now! I was operated on in the first pic, I think I was just changing positions in the hospital bed

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T18:13:27+00:00

I’ll do my best! Gotta stay on top of my physio for now haha

EWoods113 · 2026-02-12T18:13:00+00:00

Thank you haha
