More Bad News
t's been 3 weeks since my accident at work, where the balcony railing on the 2nd floor snapped, and i fell onto the concrete 10 feet below breaking my arm. Anyhow, my leg has been hurting me since the fall, and last Friday, my doctor scheduled me for an MRI today @ 9:30 am. SO I went to the appointment, only to find out that I have a non-displaced fracture of my right hip. Thankfully it won't need surgery, but it keeps me out of commission for 3 - 7 more weeks as this kind of injury takes about 6-10 weeks to heal.
On top of all this, my doctor has virtually ordered me to bed rest. I am not allowed to bear any weight on my right foot without the use of crutches. Well since my right arm is broken I can't properly balance myself with just one crutch to get around. A wheelchair won't do any good, because I can't push myself anywhere, and we have to wait for the workman's comp company to get me a motorized wheelchair.
On the bright side of things...once I am all healed and back on my feet...i should end up with a very nice settlement.
