So I had an unexpected weekend...broke my ankle for the first time last Thursday, first surgery Friday night and was discharged Saturday night...ugh definitely not how I wanted to spend my weekend...
I have some strong meds, but I try not to use them much but not being able to play with my daughters like we're used to, or simple things like getting up from a chair, going upstairs to bed, going to the bathroom...hurt too much but I don't wanna show it in front of my girls...I've been sobbing when they're not around... :'( I hate the pain...hate the cast...hate staring at it...hate that I can't cuddle with my hubby at night anymore cause it's too painful to go upstairs...counting down the days til I can get this darn thing off but know that it's probably going to take an eternity
cause of covid my hubby couldn't comfort me in the preop area so I was all alone with a couple of nurses and eventually the surgeon almost sobbing to them...terrified and alone...I just wanted to go home despite the huge pain in my leg...I was in the hospital not even 24hrs and I hated it...I wanted to hug my kids...I wanted to be home...felt like a scared kid as I was holding onto my 3yr old's stuffed dog as I was sobbing last night
Thanks...just wish I could take it off...I wanna go back to normal and be with my kids again
I sobbed for an hour last night cause the usually simple tasks of going upstairs to bed was longer and more painful than usual, can't take a shower so my hubby had to wash my hair in the sink and I used baby wipes to clean myself...couldn't get comfortable in bed...going to the bathroom is an ordeal now...the cast is tight, itchy and hurting me...I hate it so damn much...I wanna rip it to shreds... 😭😠😤
