I know this is a long shot, but does anyone happen to have the playlist from Kendall’s 20 Minute Low Impact Ride from 03/02/2022?
I know I had a screenshot of it at one point in time, but I’m unable to find it now and the ride is no longer available on the platforms. Which is a bummer because it was my favorite ride for a long time - her narrating a bike ride up the PCH to Malibu always had me daydreaming for Souther California days.

Anyway, I am hoping someone out there has the playlist, since I’ve gone to the depths of the internet without any luck.

Thanks!!

Yesterday afternoon, I stepped into an open floor AC vent in our new home and fractured my Tibial Plateau. And I am freaking the f out.

I don’t go see the ortho until Thursday, so I’m laid up with a knee immobilizer, crutches, and some pain meds (thank god!). So I have no idea if surgery is in my future…and I can’t reach the paperwork from the ER to tell me the extent of it.

The reason I’m freaking out is because I have two small children (nearly 4 and 16 months) who are home with me 24/7 while I work from home. Which is already hard enough as it is, now add in this injury and I’m already losing my shit.

I have no upper body strength because I just haven’t gotten back to “me” after my last baby and the crutches are so hard for me. Plus the house we’re staying in with my in laws (while we finish up the new house that did this evil thing to me) is multiple levels and has stairs literally everywhere. So I’ve been confined to one area of the house because stairs are the hardest thing for me right now.

All of this to say - I don’t know what to do. I’m elevating my leg, but I’m unsure if I’m doing it correctly. I read not to put anything behind my knee so as not to bend it, so I have pillows under my calf and foot, but it feels like I’m holding my leg in the air and it’s wearing on me. I’m just so stressed. I have never broken a bone in my entire life, so to do this now while moving into a new home, having two small children, and trying to stay out of my in law’s way just feels diabolical.

So please send any tips! Things to make my life easier (I ordered a wedge to elevate my leg and a waterproof cover to shower (how am I even supposed to do that?!). It’s just hard being in someone else’s home, so I can’t start installing things to help me out.

This is just a stream of consciousness post because I honestly don’t see how I’m going to get through this.
