My mom is on her way to my house right now. I told her to grab my backpack which has a book in it. I have so many books to read lol

Oh jeez. I really hope I don’t have a recovery like that. I expect it to be so rough though. Idek what is going to be done. I haven’t met my surgeon yet. It’s late here, so everything is being done in the morning. They put me in a special splint and have me on pain meds.

I have so many questions prepped already. My mom brought me a book and my current crochet project. My friends are also spamming me with memes.

I plan on it. I don’t wanna be fucked for life

LaunchesKayaks, 2 years ago

I plan on that. Not looking forward to it, but I gotta take care of myself. I have lots of pets who depend on me.

I don’t plan on cutting corners. Gotta recover so my pets don’t suffer.

I had fentanyl in the ambulance and it made me super talkative. I had morphine earlier and that was fun. It has worn off and I have no idea what I’ll be getting next.

Oh that’s a good idea! And thank you!

My parents are helping me with my pets. I’ll be staying with them with my dogs after my surgery. My mom will be stopping by mynhouse twice a day to care for my ducks and check on my cats. My dogs (especially my beagle) love trying to make me feel better, so I expect them to give me so much attention when we are reunited. I already have a great support system. My work is even being hella supportive even though I’ll be out for a while. All of the people in charge have texted me to see how I’m doing.

I’ve had experiences with surgeons, so I won’t be surprised if this guy is kind of an ass. Idgaf as long as he fixes me. Every anesthesiologist I’ve met have been so nice

I’ve had lots of surgery, but this one is the second most intense. I’m terrified of how I’m going to feel afterwards. They will be putting some hardware in and I’m afraid it’ll hurt more than it does now. My pain is so bad right now that I’ve been crying for hours. Morphine isn’t even taking the edge off.

Oh wow. That’s terrible. I’m sorry you went through that. I actually bought a neat cane last month at a Ren faire that I could probably put to use of my doctors and physical therapist(s) want me to. I bought the cane as a prop for costumes, but also as a stick to beat raccoons with. I got jumped by a gang of raccoons a few months ago, and the fuckers keep breaking into my ducks’ outside enclosure. I take the cane out with me whenever it’s dark.

Why? I love memes lol

Oh shit I didn’t know about that resource.

Thank you so much for the kind words :)

I’m waiting for more pain drugs that should make me hella high, so I won’t be anxious then. I didn’t think of the scar lol. I’ve just been telling people I’m gonna be cyborg

LaunchesKayaks, 2 years ago

Terrible. The pain is so bad that morphine isn’t even taking the edge off. I’m waiting to see if I can have something different for the pain. I haven’t had surgery yet either. Not looking forward to how I’ll be feeling after that.

I already have the full support of everyone in my life. My work even offered me a payout from our company accident insurance so I don’t have to worry about finances. I was hurt when I was working at home and it didn’t even have anything to do with my work. I have to wait until after my surgery to get the payout. My leg is too swollen to have the surgery today. I have to check in on Monday and see if the swelling is down enough for me to be operated on.

LaunchesKayaks, 2 years ago

I already know what physical therapist I want to see. I had my mom call my work to update them on my condition because I was crying with pain. They’re offering me accident insurance payout once I gety surgery, even though I was hurtnwhen working at home on the clock. My parents are letting me stay with them and they are going to make sure my ducks and cats are careful for. My dogs are going to be with me at my parents’ place

If people touch my leg in a certain way, I do let out a bit of a holler.

When I broke it, I was on the floor screaming because it hurt that bad.

I have pets that depend on me, so I gotta take care of myself so I can care for them. PT is essential. I’m actually having a physical therapy consult today or tomorrow to figure out what mobility devices will work best for me when I go home. I can’t have surgery until the severe swelling goes down in my leg. I’m looking at getting the operation early next week.

I’ve been given protein-rich hospital food and it has been so refreshing.

Yeah. I have a menagerie. I grew up on farms, so I have always had loads of critters running around. I can’t do any more animals now. I am at my limit lmao. Also, thanks for the well-wishes!

I can’t use a scooter right now because I have a fracture just below my knee. I have no idea what I’m going to get in regards of mobility aids pbecause I can’t move the entirety of my right leg on my own. My thigh and hip and groin muscles are working overtime right now (presumably to compensate for my lower leg being broke af?) and it has me pretty much crippled.

If I’m ever cleared to use a scooter, my mom has one from when she had foot surgery.
