I am very sorry your fall has you so hurt. It does tAke a long time to heal and thank goodness you haven't more damage.l took a fall a few years back when my landlord repaired bathroom and left a ball of carpet in the doorway, I didn't see and tumbled. I should have gone to ER right away, but my thinking was it would just take time. I slowly lost use of my left arm, couldn't turn neck to left very far and then my legs went weak. Six months later they figured out I had four cervical disc herniations. I've had surgery and healed but not taking pictures or getting help right away made for a lengthy bAttle with x land Lord and such a lowball offer my attorney is appalled. Please get pictures before they do the work and they should offer you something with that.

Hi Jewel ..... you sure had a time of it. As far as broken bones, the x-rays did not show anything, but my doctor is suspicious of that very end of my elbow .... thus the tennis elbow brace. It was very strange, when I took this "flying fall" (as I call it) and slammed onto the concrete, that was one of he few times I did not have on my Great Call necklace .... had I been wearing it, they would have detected a fall, come on and asked me, the ambulance would have come to take me to the hospital. Now I wish I'd had it on, and am wearing it 99% of the time now. Probably if I'd have done that, I'd have saved myself a whole lot of grief and pain by getting it all tended to at once, and an MRI would have seen any hairline fractures.
But ..... an "old lady" can still learn, and that was a lesson for sure! Also, my doctor told me that it takes longer for deeply bruised internal tissue to heal than it does bone. That was a surprise to me.
