Oh dear... I hope you heal quickly and make a complete recovery, and I pray that the weak bones will become strong in Jesus name.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you heal up quickly!

I will pray for your recovery.

I live in an environment where sometimes my driveway will become covered in ice. My driveway is extremely steep. So I have slipped and fallen a few times. But I bounce pretty good and I have thick bones, so generally I am just sore for a few days. Brittle bone disease, that is a major complication.

I am a little more cautious because I am now 71 years old. Whenever there is ice, I put cleats over my shoes so I have vice grip stability when I venture forth on the ice. They look a little like this:

It sounds like you had a pretty serious fall. How is your recovery going?
