9. So sorry to hear this.

They should be giving you meds for the pain.
Broken bones are very painful.

I have done the same thing and it is such a shock.
One minute you are perfectly fine, a small trip and you are flat in your back
in the hospital, in pain, and cannot walk or move.

But you are in the hospital and being taken care of.
They will put some pins in the wrist I assume and start physical therapy
right away hopefully.

The physical therapists will be the ones to get you up and moving again.

Do you wear a cast or boot with a broken knee cap?
