I haven’t slept in three weeks
I broke my ankle three weeks ago, I’m now one week post-op, and it’s been hell! I haven’t been able to get a full night’s sleep, I’ve cried pretty much everyday, and it’s been lonely. My whole summer is gone because I tried to roller skate. I have hobbies to try and keep me occupied and my iPad to watch stuff on, but it’s definitely been a struggle. I have my first post-op appointment on Tuesday and I’m honestly looking forward to it. I’ve been following doctor’s orders ever since I got back from surgery, so I’m hoping I’ll get the boot in no time. I have three more appointments afterwards, so I’m not really expecting the boot next week, though it’d be nice. I’m expected to get back to work in mid-August/September and thought I hate wishing my summer away, I honestly can’t wait. I’m trying to plan out my fall to also try and keep myself sane.
Sleeping is so hard because I’ve been struggling to keep my leg elevated while trying to sleep and it sometimes gets itchy in the worst places, so it can get a little twitchy. According to this sub and another one, it looks like it’ll be my life for the rest of the year and then some. I’m just really hoping to get the boot ASAP and for a speedy recovery.
