Meltdown
I’m sorry I’m having a meltdown right now and I know I should just go to bed. I’m 66 and live alone and broke my ankle on April 18. I’m one week post ORIF with a trimall and I was trying to use my scooter to get ready for bed just now and I lost my balance and I came down hard, I mean hard on my injured foot. I don’t think I hurt it too much but I’m so worried and I can’t really do anything about it right now except go through the usual with elevating it and putting ice on it although I’m afraid to get up to get the ice. My daughter helped me the first two weeks of this; I had to wait a while to get the surgery, but she has a full-time job and her family and I just can’t ask her to take off any more time. I will hire help but I’m just not sure what they’ll do other than bring me food. I just feel pretty low right now and I know it’s just the beginning which makes me feel 10 times worse and all I can do is just sit here and cry. Sorry I’m ranting about this cause I know you guys have gone through a lot worse than this. I’m so worried I did some real damage to my foot. I’m terrified this is gonna set me back. Thank you.
