1st crash too

[doc]

Strangely enough, walking is painful. Walking slowly is ok, but there is something about the long strides I take when walking quickly must twist my pelvis in such a way that it irritates the fracture. Go figure. But I am definitely having less pain every day, so no complaints here. It could always be worse. Way worse.

That's so cool! Congrats!!

!!!I'm so jealous!!!

I went spinning, too, for the first time after my labor day crash! Woo! Which did not turn out so well. No pain, but soon the headache turned into nausea. Couldn't breathe.. And I got those shaky chills. *WAH!!!*

I'd love to whine that you're lucky, but really! Pelvic fracture!!! WOW! You're just so HARDCORE!!! Woo! =)

Best of recoveries to you!

It never ceases to amaze me that although we are all humans with nearly 100% identical DNA, we are all so different. We process drugs differently, we process nutrients differently, we fight infections differently, we deal with physical injury differently, and we sure deal with emotional injury differently. Although we are supposed to be the same, no two human engines actually run the same. Listen to your body. Trust the messages it sends you.

I had to stop any pain meds including ibuprofen 1 week after my injury. They were working so well, I had no pain. Then with no pain, I would do too much. I don't need to tell what happened next: Really bad pain! Pain is an important message to STOP. So was your nausea and headache. Go for healthy diet and mild exercise. Work up slowly. I got lucky this time.
