Dear RN-
Glad to hear you are going to a PCP. Having someone who can co-ordinate all your different specialists is valuable. And if you need to be seen in a hurry a call from her may have better results than you might get yourself. Its even better that you feel comfortable with her.
I just tripped and fell myself, but all I did was land hard on my knees and left side. Glad the basement floor is carpeted, but my fibromyalgia is really going to be kicked up now and I'm going to travel on Wednesday. Sure wish I wasn't so clumsy!!!
It sounds like a really bad fall you took. Sounds like they dropped the ball at the hospital too, both by not checking for possible causes for the fall and perhaps by releasing you too soon. Did they explain to you why CPR was neccessary? Seems strange they let you go home so soon after that much trauma. Well, I guess all I really know I learned from TV, so enough second guessing. I hope you continue to heal and are very careful, not to mention treating yourself as kindly as you would a friend who was hurting.
Empathetically yours,
Exquilter
