Hi guys ive been on leave since may due to a severe injury. how do i get back in to see my schedule??
ess.wakefern.com is not working idk if its down or outdated or what and UKG is saying my server is wrong someone please help!! thank u in advance and if you need more info lmk!
im a little over a week post OP and was given a tall boot and NWB. I havent worn the boot since i last left my house on saturday (its now 2am tuesday, lol) which was only two days after it was given to me. i wasn’t given specific instructions on how much to wear it and maybe i just dont understand the need for it necessarily besides when leaving the house to protect my foot.
I havent felt the need for it whatsoever. i dont feel much pain down there and was even given some instructions on some SMALL PT stretches to do to get my foot to move better.
but like, am i supposed to have it on?? and for how long? bathroom trips or when sitting at the table? because i spend my days on the couch so i really only do those two things 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
help, advice, or your history with the boot is very much appreciated!! ty :)
idk why it never works for me but im struggling yet again to change my UKG password. What i do is go to ess.wakefern.com and i type my username and old password and its supposed to let me reset it there but instead when it offers to let me change the password, the screen just loads? its been doing this for weeks and tbh i give up im out of work for personal reasons right now so i havent had the opportunity to go in and ask for help but i WOULD like my ukg lmao
PLEASE help me thank you so much 🫡
i had a boot for two weeks before surgery and back on a week after surgery (day two of the second boot, this one is taller, the other was about mid calf) sometimes it really hurts my ankle to have it on?? is this normal? how do i stop it from hurting so bad? no matter how i put it on eventually it always ends up hurting and i feel like its doing more harm than good.
if you’ve mastered it or have never had pain pls teach me your secrets because i have probably put it on without ANY pain once lol. it always feels like its pulling on my ankle and the boot is so heavy for no reason
for extra context, post surgery, i rarely really have pain besides the incision ofc (and not taking pain meds anymore so its not just masked) but i feel the same pain i felt before surgery when i put the boot on
im set to have surgery in a few days and i was told about 4-6 weeks before i can begin PT. obviously this depends on the person and the break and etc etc but how did it go for you? how hard did it hit you what did it feel like and how long did it take for you to feel like you were back to “normal” in some way?
i dont think ive ever had a surgery like this before and i genuinely dont know what to expect 😅
dramatic rant/advice needed pls
this has been one of the biggest mental challenge ive ever faced. i know that may sound sad and small minded but my biggest fear is to just be stuck on a couch unable to do anything let alone walk. and thats exactly where i am right now. i cant do anything by myself i can hardly even make it down the hall to my bathroom without taking 10 minutes, being out of breath, and my foot being purple.
i didnt need surgery. just given a cast and hopefully i can get a boot soon. this is just so frustrating and challenging and i still havent even processed it to be honest. ive never broken a bone before let alone been immobilized this long.
My question is; when did you get to go back to normal and how? when did you start being able to make short trips without your foot swelling? when were you able to go up stairs, no matter how strange? when were you able to go back into life to some extent?
