earthquake, hurricane...seriously? Now?

otoro98 · August 2011

Okay, life is hard enough that I am on crutches right now - we have 2 flights of stairs in our condo to get out of the building, and life with a 6 month old is challenging enough, but did we have to have an earthquake (which had a whole other story to it with my crutches and being at work) and then a hurricane? Really? I am so frustrated I'm about to scream, and I feel like I'm only being half the mom I want to be since I can't get up and do the things I'd like to do with my daughter. My husband's great, but he can't do everything, poor guy. I'm just going a little stir crazy and I have another week at least during which I've been told I still can't put any weight on my right foot/ankle. Just one day rushing to work, and I tripped and now look where I am...word to the wise, don't rush...you'll get there when you get there.

Anyway, just needed to vent. I'm at a low point, and i know it is temporary - far far worse things are happening in the world, but it is really tough today.

Hang in there... last summer, I couldn't put weight on my right foot for 9 weeks. At the time, DD was 1.5. It sucked... for me, and DH. I feel your pain.

Soon, everything will be back to normal. I promise!

You are more than justified in a pity party. Obviously if you could do anything to speed up your recovery or go back in time to change what happened, you would. But it's so frustrating when things are going badly and all you can do is wait for them to improve. Hope that this time next week you'll be able to start making progress toward being 100% back to normal.
