What is this thread all about??
Just general discussion. Stuff on your mind. Talk about hobbies, health, God/scripture, news, help, current topics, theories and predictions, whatever the case may be.
This is the second of what May be many, let’s see how it goes
Well kind of off-topic, but I had my foot rebuilt about 3 1/2 four weeks ago. I have another 3 1/2 weeks of nonweightbearing. Basically been laying in my bed with my leg and foot elevated the entire time. I’m about to lose my mind. You can only watch so many British murder mysteries. LOL I don’t watch a lot of new shows because they’re so awoke, and full of sex, which nowadays is soft porn. Not interested. Anyway… I’ve been spending a lot of time on this forum because there’s not much else I can do besides coloring pictures, and eating meals with my mother God bless her soul who’s been taking care of me. well there it is folks!
Jeez man, don’t get me wrong, I like laying down and relaxing, but doing that for 7-8 weeks?? I couldn’t imagine that. I hope you feel better soon and get out of bed soon as well
Yeah I use the walker to go to the restroom, and to go out to the living room and watch TV and eat my meals so my mom‘s not by herself. But I’m telling you this is really getting to me mentally. I get up in the morning, and open the back door so I can hear all the birds, we have a lot in our backyard. So that cheers me up. But I’m telling ya. Whew! Hhaalllpppp! Lol!
Bro, 😂 I feel you SO MUCH.
Moms are wonderful like that, aren’t they?
Read some books, try the classics, and do some crossword puzzles. Check out some streaming documentaries on a topic you enjoy.
Heal up soon, pede and keep the “leetle grey cells” active.
Poirot!
Oui!
And, of course, Agatha Christie.
The struggle is REAL. I've been in a similar situation with my foot for months and I also don't watch TV, and I have to chase a three year old around which absolutely exacerbated and lengthened the healing time.
Just got it all sorted out last Tuesday and I'm back on my feet and in action. Holy smokes am I grateful! I've spent all day, every single day since driving around, enjoying nature and visiting friends. Mentally, I already feel 100% better.
Hang in there and glad you got it off your chest. Going from able bodied to home bound and immobile is... Something not a lot of people will be able to truly appreciate the severity. o7
Edit: I only gained like 10 lbs during the downtime. I consider that a victory. Already can feel my ENTIRE body getting back to full strength. Feels great.
Wow that’s crazy with a three-year-old. Well I’m glad you’re back in action. And yes I do miss driving my vehicle. I have a dodge charger and I just love driving my car. I just do. It’s my right foot as well, so there’s no compromise on that. Yes I want my freedom back. I think I’ll go for a long drive, drive through fast food which I normally don’t eat, stop at the dollar store, and just go for a long drive. God bless you I’m glad you’re back on track. This nonweightbearing thing is rough
