Cylene what a tremendous reply to a case of the grumpies. And you gave me a very timely reminder about being careful with that foot. I do tend to lose patience and not be as careful as perhaps I should, sometimes. Also when it bore my weight Wednesday really well my hope and courage got up then it told me off all Thursday and I got so discouraged. Now I've taken double hold on my determination and settled in for the long haul. The thing is my doctor doesn't know everything that's wrong with the foot and frankly there seems little point in trying to tell him. I think hubby and I can deal with it. However.......today hubby leaves for four days away so I must be really careful around here. Thankfully I have a wheelchair and walker and we've stockpiled all the food I will need and a long rope so I can let our deaf dog out and still reel her back in after she's finished her business. I sure can't see me running around after her to try and get her attention, LOL.
The one plus side I can see to all this couch time (I prefer it to sleeping on my bed, less discomfort) is that our 2 cats are having a hey dey sitting and sleeping on me! Generally it's "first come, first served" but sometimes they get into a boxing match over who has sitting rights on me. Flattering but not if they do it on top of me. I am soooo not into feline acupuncture!
I am hoping I didn't break any more bones within the foot, I think it just got sprained...but the cracked fibula and tibula(leg bones) and the broken toes, are enough to keep my attention. I am SO THANKFUL I found out about CFS ppl desperately needing calcium/magnesium supplements. Only after starting on them did I feel things beginning to truly knit. God bless experts in their fields! And thank you God for prompting me so strongly to look in that book in the first place.
I appreciate your sharing your incredibly lengthy and painful experience Cylene. First it makes me think I got off lightly, wowch, so sorry you went through all that! Secondly it reminds me to be patient. Thirdly to remember we just don't heal the way "healthy" people do. Actually I'm in pretty good health for MY health. heh heh heh. And fourthly this reminds me that things not healing right can be par for the course with our health challenges and not cause for panic. Thank you for all of that and more. Now I'll quit yapping and go make myself useful! Thank you again.
