Being stuck in one place sucks

Sep 23, 2007 18:47

I was spiraling pretty fast and hard into depression as of today due to a lot of issues up here. So to cheer myself up I decided that I can hack it on one crutch from henceforth. This is working out well, albiet slowly so far. Yay for being ridiculously stubborn.

I completely agree. I find the physical therapy quite doable. It's the total change in lifestyle I can't stand. Suddenly, you're limited severely -can't dance, can't run, can't climb trees, can't take a stroll, can't go to parties on weekends, can't go to the Leafe, can't even do your own damn laundry because the washer is in the basement, fifteen steps down.

BUT

Don't try to resume your normal life, no matter how tempting. Three weeks after the surgery I tried to do that, and my knee suddenly exploded into pain again, and swelled up, effectively undoing all the healing up to that point. Now I'm going on two months, still on a crutch, still icing three times a day, still limited by what I can do. Take it easy for longer, and you'll get better faster, and be able to return to normal life again. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES, MY CHILD.

Oh my lord! What did you do that caused that? I mean, "normal life" for you and I is pretty hardcore ;)

I'm trying to take it easy. It is SO FREAKING HARD so I totally hear you. I will try to be a good padowan and learn from thee :)

Basically, I did went out to the Leafe and did laundry. And maybe I did some naked things, too. BUT it wasn't anywhere near what I would normally have done. I think it was the laundry that pushed me over. Well, the stairs. I went up and down the stairs a LOT in the course of six hours, doing four loads of laundry, checking on them, etc.

oh goodness, that doesn't even sound very hardcore :( Crap. Yeah, I'm pretty terrified of damaging my knee again so i've been trying to take it easy. Basically I have to be really careful with drinking for awhile because I'm pretty sure that I do stupid shit like overestimate how awesome i am when drunk.
