Sorry about the trip and fall, and about your week thus far... but I hope the comfort pho and NN made it all better.
I highly recommend the book, as I was in the play in high school (I was Mrs. Nickleby) and read the book then to get character notes. Mrs. N was apparently based pretty strongly on Dickens' own mother, although she never realized it. ;) The novel was really excellent and reading it was the first time I picked up on Dickens' sense of humor (I'd read Twist and Expectations before. Am glad to hear you liked the movie, as I'm making an effort to go see it before the baby comes. :)
I hear the 8-hour RSC production from the 80s is phenomenal, too, if you can lay hands on it.
