Well at least it is for me. Here it is 3:00am and I'm still wide awake. Why you wonder? Easy, anxiety & pain. And seriously I could easily do without both!
I realize that in the grand scheme of things being stuck on crutches is nothing but at almost 5 weeks in I'M GOING NUTS! And then I feel guilty... I have friends who have lost spouses and fathers and uncles and and and... I have sent out more sympathy cards in the last month than I think in any other time of my life.
Tomorrow I go for another MRI of my stupid hip (to see if when I fell a couple weeks ago caused damage). And Wednesday is the ortho and really I look forward to them because what else do I do? Sit home and watch dance moms, some ranch show (I like it I think it begins with a b) barry'd treasure and storage wars. Yup that's what my life is reduced to ooh and if I'm not in too much pain I crutch walk down 4 houses and back and that has me huffing and puffing and sweating like I've just run the longest race of my life...
4 walls you can only stick in them so long :-(.
I'm not a very cheery person right now so lets see if I can at least find you a cute pic or 2 on my dying phone
It's the best I've got unless you want a 50000th pic of the poodle... It's a painting I made for my niece - I'm not sure if she actually liked it :-/
I'm a runner too. Nothing is worse than being side lined by injury, especially injury that is a product of having overdone it. I run through most of my injuries, which is bad. But there have been a few times I've been forced to stop due to fractures etc. It's a terribly empty and depressing feeling. Hang in there <3.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is frustrating... It only got longer because of the fall I did have to have a 2nd surgery so I'm on week 11 on crutches and no driving 😛 fortunately I've started drawing and crocheting as an outlet so I'm at least tolerable
