Rescued common box turtle from road

I was riding home with my dad and saw a turtle on the side of the road. We turned around and watched a HUGE truck maybe graze it and this poor baby probably flew about 15 feet ahead of where it was originally. It was bleeding by its leg so I took it home (not to keep just to get it out of the road, and hopefully give it to someone who can help it if it needs, we only live about a minute or two away from where we found it)

So far, only one leg has came out of the shell and I am worried the other might be hurt or broken.

What should I do or who should I contact about this??

How long did it take for you guys to process that you had a tumor

I found out I had a mass in my brain in November of 2025, I got my surgery in January, and I returned to school in the middle of March.

It is now May and I don’t think I have fully processed that I had a tumor or got surgery on my brain.
When I found out, I didn’t cry, I kind of just felt like “Of course. My senior year of high-school and I have a brain tumor” and somehow that wasn’t even the worst thing that’s happened to me.

I was scared that I would die but I just tried not to think about it. If it happened it happened. I think going about it like this and not talking about it, trying to distance myself from my brain and my health, made me feel like it wasn’t actually happening. I almost had no emotions tied to having a tumor. It felt like it wasn’t even me that had it.

If I talked about it people just cried or got really weird and sad. Which I totally understand, if it was anyone but myself, I know I would have the same reaction. I just don’t and didn’t associate myself with having a tumor I guess.

I have always struggled with repression, I guess my body cannot handle some things so I just try and get rid of them. I went to therapy when I was younger and I have amnesia from past traumatic events, I’m scared I might repress some of this as well.

I know my memory is messed up because I got surgery on my brain. I’m sure that was bound to happen, I just don’t want it to be more than that. I feel like I don’t remember anything from November to January. My boyfriend will talk about things we did or I will look at my shelf and see little trinkets from adventures we went on but I have no recollection of them and have to ask my boyfriend what it is and why I have it :( I feel like I lost a piece of me and my relationship

Now,
I always feel a sense of dread when I think that I got surgery or had a tumor. I am struggling with mild emetophobia and intense anxiety (which I’m sure a lot of what I am feeling stems from, and my fear of forgetting), I probably need therapy, but unfortunately that is not in the cards for me.

I feel so weird about the whole thing

When will I accept it? How do I? Will it come naturally or is this something that I need to work through?
