My body is trying to kill me...I think

Okay, so I woke up yesterday & was going to try & have my husband some dinner made before he had to go into work. Sneaking out of our dark room, trying to be quiet & not wake him up, because he had spent the past few days with me being in the hospital & dealing with the kids & whatnot & not getting hardly any sleep. Well as my foot was going over his CPAP machine hose, I thought I had cleared it...well guess what I hadn't. I'm one with really bad ankles anyways, so I lose my balance & the only thing to break my fall was my kids bathroom doorway. Slammed into the doorway with my upper arm with my 250+ pounds & landed on the same side as my surgery that I had just had on Thursday. I could feel all the muscles in my right chest, ribcage & right upper back shoulder area pull. My incisions seemed to be fine & was pretty confident that I had only pulled muscles & maybe sprained my big toe. After about an hour of resting my incisions started burning & being sensitive. My husband was too worried for me to not at least get checked out to see if I had broke anything, so off to the ER we went. Had some xrays done & nothing more than some really pulled muscles that hurt beyond belief. I do have a dark ring around the knuckle part of my big toe that was hurt during the process too. But yeah I think my body is out to get me. It hurts to breath, cough, laugh or move that right side of my chest. My husband has been super sweet, not wanting me to do anything, wanting to wait on me hand and foot. I'm so ready to going back to everything is going great. Lol Just taking my Tylenol with codeine & switching from ice pack to heat packs every 20 minutes or so. This sucks!

 Sorry about your altercation with the hose, and congratulations on your choice of husbands! I think you should keep him, CPAP and all.

You might try arnica gel for the sore muscles and bruises. It generally helps with those kinds of injuries.

I can only say, you must be my identical twin that everyone claims to have. LOL I swear if you had no bad luck you would have no luck at all. I am so sorry your body is trying to kill you.. But really I think it is just supper ticked off right now and once it calms down things will be better.

I'm sure you are not laughing at all of this but on down the road you will probably laugh at it. Again, I'm so sorry but you have a jewel in a husband and a real keeper!

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm trying to laugh about it, but it hurts to laugh. Lol I do have a keeper of a husband. He is my rock & is very supportive. Between him & my kids checking on me to see if I need anything, I feel very loved & cared for. I scared the living crap out of them when I fell. All 3 of them were standing in their doorways staring at me with a horrific look on their faces & not a one touched me, which I find to be very smart on their part. Lol I have a great family & love them to death. I'll be glad when I can laugh & it not hurt. Lol
