Being in pain all the time
Being swollen and sore all the time
Having to wear uncute “comfortable” clothes all the time
Having it take 5 minutes to go to damn bathroom, or upstairs or downstairs or anywhere
Not being able to do anything fast
Not really being able to do anything…unless I want it to hurt at some point
Not being able to walk my dogs
Not being able to enjoy outside
Looking into Stormy’s eyes as he wonders why Mom isn’t taking him out like every other day for the past 9 years
Feeling gross and yucky because it hurts to stand too long to put on make-up or do my hair or wear anything besides yoga or workout pants and a sweatshirt
Worrying about gaining weight and feeling fat
Not being able to do all aspects of my job because I’m either stuck at my desk or in so much in pain – I stay home
Feeling weak
Yes, I am fully aware a broken ankle is actually not a big deal. And that it could be way worse. But that does not mean it does not suck. It does not mean that I do not hate it. I do try and keep a positive & rational attitude about it. It will get better soon (ish) as long as I follow doctor’s orders.
But when it hurts to be up and make the huskies and myself a quick dinner – after staying home from work all day because it hurt so much – that sucks. And pisses me off. And I hate it. So I write it down it hopes of blowing of steam.
Not working yet….
