Hello everyone, I'm Elizabeth.

New here and was introduced to the community by the lovely scope helpline. I'm currently bedbound after a recent fall resulting in a broken ankle. I have too many conditions to list here but my hEDS was the one that lead to my fall. Hope you are all doing okay as can be, especially with the heat.

So lovely to meet you @elizabeth01 I'm sorry about your fall, how long ago did it happen? I hope the recovery doesn't take too long

Only on Wednesday so just a few days ago, still adapting to being bedbound but making it as positive as I can, and using the time to catch up on some reading. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the community 

Sorry about your fall would it be possible to use a wheelchair so you can get out of bed ? 

You will adapt and find ways of doing things once you are rested
