Accident Yesterday

In 3 days I will be 4 weeks post-op.

I will have been in my cast for 2 weeks.

I'm rollin' around on my knee scooter like a boss. I've only almost bit the dust a couple of times.



However, TODAY....
I worry I may have fucked up my surgery foot.


It happened in a parking lot.

I shut my car door and Chris opened it again,
I turned around to see what was wrong.

Next thing I know, I'm losing my balance and the only thing I could think to do was to put my surgery foot down to help catch myself from falling on the pavement.


It was more like a "slam my foot down."

It. HURT.

I immediately regretted it.

I'm in pain, dropped a few frustrated f-bombs.

Some stranger was gawking.

I didn't care.


Fast forward to now, as I'm laying in bed, trying to get to sleep, which BTW, nowadays doesn't happen until about 3-4 AM.

* I just can't sleep or get comfy.
I still get random, shooting electrical- type shocks of pain.*


My foot STILL hurts from the incident today.



I'm a worrywart. I always have been.

I can't help but wonder if I did any damage, or if I set back my recovery.
Which would mean, more time in a cast. ☹️



I have already been dreading when the cast does come off.
Then, I'm in a Cam Walking Boot, & have to put weight on it. 😳


Note to self*better start eating healthier* = less weight on foot. 👍


Will it be painful? 
Will it be tolerable?
Will I cry like a whiny bitch? -most likely, Yes. 😂

I HATE not knowing.



If I had a super power, it would be:

To see into the future, only at certain times when I'm worried about something specific.


But, my REAL superpower would be:

Mind reading. 🧠💭🤯

Not everyone, & not all the time.

Just certain people/certain times.



Wouldn't life be easier if people had "thought bubbles"?

Just so you'd know if you're on the same page as them, on what they are thinking.

With this superpower, the movie with
Mel Gibson"What Women Want" comes to mind.

Obviously, I  wouldn't want overlapping voices of every person in the vacinity of me, in my head.



Where was I?

Ah. Yes, wondering if I caused any damage to my foot.

I guess time will tell. If I'm still in pain in a couple of days, I will call my surgeons office.

Otherwise, I'll wait until my cast comes off.
I think they will take an X-ray, to determine if the bone has healed.


In closing, if you're awake before 4 a.m....holla at me.

Here's hoping that everything is fine.
