No relief in sight

Well I had the surgery on my Achilles 2 1/2 weeks ago. Going in they said I’d be out 2 weeks. Yeah, that didn’t happen. The damage was worse than anticipated and now I’m looking at 8 weeks. I’m having to take FMLA, but not being able to be in my own home, yes with my cat, is the worst. I’m in a state of “total non-weight bearing” which sucks. My kids are being terrific having me

In their homes and taking care of me. But all I want to do is sit and cry. And I have to force myself to not think about Sophie (the cat) or I really lose control. Anyway life is pretty sucky right now. 😏

Hi Dancer, I'm sorry the healing didn't go as planned but focus on the positive side.You are in a safe, loving place in your children's home. The next 5 1/2 weeks hopefully

will go by fast as you heal to perfection.

I know you miss your cat but as absence makes the heart grow fonder, Sophie and you

will be inseparable when you get home.

Take care Dancer and listen to doctor's orders. Make the most of this time knowing

the goal is to get you home soon. Wishing you my best xx

It’s really difficult,losing your independence.I hope your Achilles heals up.It’s just a sham you can’t be at home with Sophie.

Animals are very relaxing and non demanding.it’s good that your children are so helpful to you.

It’s so hard for you,but it will be worth it in the bath nd.you’re in my thoughts.
