I Fell 5 Days Ago... Landed Head-first While Carrying A

I fell 5 days ago... landed head-first while carrying a some garbage... landed hard on my right knee, then wrist... was glad I did not break my wrist, however my right thigh and hip hurt to the point I could hardly walk... was able to make it back to house and to bed... became even more sore, and even the slightest range of motion hurt... took and Advil PM to sleep every 3 hours...
Second day, more pain to the point could not stand or place any weight on right leg... was able to rest, however pain was so bad for any motion that I was nauseated... there was still not bruising, however area and muscle were sore to touch or massage...
Third day, felt a little better and was able to crawl to bathroom and get hydration and something to finally eat... still no weight bearing tolerated, however some improvement to range of motion of right leg...
Fourth day, was a able to apply some weight to right leg with moderate pain, however range of motion to get out of bed, etc still hurt... still could only lay on my back, and not on side or either hip...
Today, a little improvement with pain maintenance (Advil PM), however still pain with weight-bearing, especially when trying to walk...
Was wondering what were your perceptions and possible prognosis... will still be able to rest until after Memorial Day (Tuesday)... I am a male, 60 years old, in otherwise fairly good health, 6'1", 175 pounds...
Thank-you
