Hello.
In the hospital since Wednesday
I guess fractured my pelvis somehow.
Had an operation.
They put a long screw(?) in to stabilize pelvic area.
Using a walker and see PT and OT.
I didn't fall nothing like that.
Was out and about shopping, walking, driving.
I do have osteoporosis and worry about the coughing and trying to huff.
I will have to read up on the whole procedure on my chart, plus will see the resident doctors Monday.
Thanks for asking.

@sheila7a Ow, Sheila, sending healing thoughts your way. I hope your recovery is uneventful.
Keep up the huff coughing - you don't want to add lung issues. Can you ask to see respiratory theray for help with safer ways to huff and cough?

@sheila7a So sorry to hear about your pelvis. Sue had a great suggestion to talk to a respiratory therapist while you are in the hospital. Keeping you in prayer.
