Hi everyone, I fell again. I tripped on the edge of a sidewalk, fell forward and broke my face. Literally! My wife, daughter, and granddaughter were with me. When I sat up my daughter checked my face and said I broke my nose at the very least. She took me to the hospital where they did a CT Scan, and X-rays. The doctor said that I fractured my nose and the bones around my right eye, above and below the eye. I have an appointment with a facial surgeon on Tuesday. He saw the scans and wants to see me. Here is a picture of me.  |

That would be advisable... do you know why you are falling? Inner ear infection perhaps?

Mike I'm sorry to hear this. I am also dealing with a vertigo issue due to some of the meds I'm taking. So far no breaking of anything, but the fear of it happening is real. I will also be praying for you. Take care of yourself.

Thank you all for your concern. I am recovering well! The surgeon said I do not need surgery!!! I am very happy about that! It still hurts to sneeze, and allergy season has started. Fun times?

Thank you Joe. Kelley and I are very happy! The surgeon did a scan of my head and the bones are starting to heal. He thinks I will be fine. Just takes time.

Glad to hear the better news, Mike! Hopefully, the road to full recovery will be shorter, with no detours. I once had a scan of my head done, and the doctor said he didn't find anything.🤔
