Hiya so I'm 3 weeks post surgery and i have lost like 15 lbs i know 10 of which is muscle atrophy but still its trending downwards. I'm going to call and ask my surgeon about this i was curious anyone else have a similar experience?
My mother just called me a sally because i cant make my own food or really do much myself because of my ankle fracture. For reference i had orif on my ankle it was a fracture with dislocation of the medial malleolus and fibula. I am still nwb and if i was to try to make my own food i would have to go up to sets of stair, try to get on the floor to grab my food from freezer (its a side by side style) the find a way up to reach a over the range microwave, then find a way to carry my food down 2 sets of stairs with crutches. Like am i just a sally or am i right in my assessment that i just cant do all that safely on my own?
Ok its sunday so should be allowed! Ill keep it short. Im young (23) and have some growth its been about a month of growth. Should i keep it growing?

Hiya i had orif 2 weeks ago and now am in a boot. Regardless of in or out of the boot i cant get comfortable any advice?
Hiya so i recently got hit by a car while going to work on my e-bike. I have an ex that practices magic and i hadn't had an issue since leaving them over 2 years ago but recently my partner got pregnant as we planned and i started a new career path. I had noticed my ex looking at my profiles recently thanks to the social media apps having notifications of when someone looks at your profile. Then all of a sudden hit by a car! I thankfully only broke my ankle but that has still caused me to lose my job, we have to move in with my partners mother now. I honestly feel the only reason I'm even alive is thanks to my miljnor (I'm a norse pagan) those who actively practice magic what do you say? Is it magic or the regular chaos of the universe?
