Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hello everyone. Today was not such a great day. I went to my orthopedic doctor because of my ankle (3 previous surgeries) today and she wants to immobilize my left ankle/leg for 3-4 weeks. She would like to put on a cast and then have me rest it for the 3-4 weeks w/ no driving and no walking. Hello???? That is pretty much what I am doing right now and not very well might I add! So I, of course, started crying and dh asked about waiting until my tummy is healed some more. We all agreed that it would be too much pressure on my body so on Sept 24 I am getting my leg in a cast and then that will be followed w/ a plastic brace and physical therapy. It isn't life or death and it could be alot worse - but I'm very upset about the bedrest and no driving part. I'm going insane now! The good news was that when we got home there was a check in the mail from my attorney regarding the same ankle issue. He had mailed a check for the remainding balance from my lawsuit/accident. Since I haven't worked in almost 5 months this was a great relief and I can now get my son a great birthday present! The scary part is the amount of scar tissue and arthritis in the ankle and that as I get older it will continue to get worse. So I am going to have to realize that this will be an ongoing battle! Sorry to whine and complain - I am just upset and all I want to do is bd and get a big fat pregnant belly! My love and prayers to and Keli tonight on their big day tomorrow. And of course sweet Donna and little !
