Is it okay to have felt scared about my first fall?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

It’s been almost 7 months since I broke my leg and got a surgery, I wore high heels and was running on a wet floor as I slipped and fell down, got a little bit scared but I am great. Was it normal to be scared?

[ArrowheadSW]

I just took a fall today while out hiking on a difficult part of a trail. I tried grabbing the trunk of a small tree to break my fall and ended up on my back with my leg twisted. I mildly sprained my knee and ankle. I don't think I've taken a fall while hiking in probably 5 years. Anyway, I'm glad it wasn't any worse. I think it is normal to feel scared. It helps us learn to not do the same thing again.

I think so. It was a bad spiral break as I remember. I think it would be pretty normal to be scared after that.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yep, you remember right, It’s pretty nice of an achievement to be running around in heels already hehe

[RavVid]

You have healed speedily then

[NathanDavis]

yes, of course... and it does happen to every athlete after they recover from serious injuries...

just remember, your bone now is actually stronger than it was before... still, be careful though... lol

Completely normal. The first time I jumped down from a four foot platform after I tore my foot was scary, and I didn't fall. I was just praying my foot would hold up.

[AviatorTom]

Of course it's normal to be scared. The bigger question is: why have you not learned that running on a wet floor is dangerous, especially in high heels?

[exitseven]

yes, after I got the fake hip I was working in the college auditorium. Without thinking I jumped off the stage about 4 feet. I freaked out.

It'd be a bit weird if you weren't unnerved.

Take things gently my dear. In the battle between you and the planet, bet on the planet...

It’s OK to fall. I’ve fallen many times after my broken ankle twice not a problem. You’re young. I’m young. We’re both warriors and we kick ass and take names so we can handle falls

[slatyb]

That is totally normal. Maybe you should not wear heels for a while.

[msc545]

VERY normal. Would be abnormal to not be scared.

[justabuddy]

Yeah.. it takes along time to heal. No body wants to go through that twice.

[Still-alive]

Well of course it is. your feelings regardless of what they are, are valid

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yeah but it’s been 7 months, maybe I shouldn’t have been scared anymore

[Still-alive]

You did nothing wrong. its normal to feel that way

[DrPepper12]

YES!!! I contracted GBS and i can't do stairs anymore due to neuropathy

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Yea it's ok to fear, but, you shouldn't live in it. Keep on keepin' on, don't let people or events control you

[KrakenAttackin]

Scared when? When you broke your leg? It's normal to be anxious about all that will follow from having broken your leg.

[WhitneySnow]

That’s totally normal

[eagle1951]

it' perfectly normal

[paledreams]

I usually steer clear of, danger. 😋

[Jennz6]

Yes, I would have been scared too

[Wise4myage]

Wear flats when you run lol.

[andy530]

Yes that’s normal to be a scared like that
