RE: I Nearly Broke My Leg in Florida

in #moving3 years ago

Omg that is a scary thought! The swelling has mostly gone down over my whole leg but my knee itself is still a bit big. I guess I will continue icing it. The hospital x-rayed my leg and did an ultrasound. They didn't see any internal bleeding. Hopefully they looked everywhere.

How did you realize that it was been bleeding internally?

Sort:  

It ended up getting infected and I had to go to the hospital and get antibiotics intravenously. Then they sent me to a wound clinic. That's where they started tearing away the dead tissue and found the hematoma underneath. The pictures are nasty, I literally had a hole in my leg. It's never going to be the same either. They said hitting it again even lightly could break it back open and then I have to go back to the wound clinic.
