a visit to the hospital

A few days ago, heading into my allergy doctor to get my monthly allergy shots, my crutches slipped on the office wood floor, and I landed directly on my right side.  This put me in immediate shock, and the pain was unbearable. My mom took me directly to the hospital, where the emergency medical staff reevaluated me.  The pain I was in was so severe, I was almost certain I injured my fracture even more. They put me on morphine, and took a new set of x-rays and CT scans.  I slowly began feeling better, but still could barely move my body.  An orthopedic surgeon was not working until the following day, therefore I needed to stay over night for him to review my results.  I knew I wasn't physically able to be home either, so I was relieved they wanted me to stay at the hospital over night.  The next day, when we finally saw the doctor, he said that I did no further damage to my fracture, I just bothered it a lot! YAYY! This was such a relief!  A few hours later, once I was able to move around more, they released me, and I was able to come home.  I am feeling slightly better, but the pain is now worse from how it was before this hospital incident.  Looks like I'm back to doing absolutely nothing again. Anyone have any good movie or book suggestions?
