  • What Are Your Mental Handicaps?

    Currently I am unable to walk with both feet on the ground. I am hopping around on walker and graduating on crutches. The apparatus I have attached to my ankle and shin is very uncomfortable, but after two weeks of torturous pain from the procedures, the pain has definitely subsided. Time does heal all as they say. I do feel temporarily handicapped because I can’t physically move about like I normally do. I count my lucky stars that I am alive and it was only my bones that broke and not any permanent serious physical disability. (more…)

  • The Innocence of Children

    My goddaughter, Nicole, who is 4 years old came over to visit me today. It was the day that I had the staples taken out, so I was afraid to show her my ankle. But instead she blew me kisses. It was so sweet.

  • Can You Face Your Deep Wounds and Pain?

  • Rest at last

    Yesterday I woke up and it was the first time I had slept the whole night thru. I started taking half a vociodn. The pain has substantially subsided and today also. I am not moving around so much. Just taking it easy, reading and being more quiet with not so many people around. I am letting Cristian take responsibility in taking care of me. I try to be peaceful.

  • Weaning away from pain pills feels raw

     I was supposed to take the vicodin and anti-inflammatory at separate times and diligently writing every time I took them so I wouldn’t get them confused. Its weird, I spend so much time focused on , “When do i take my next pain pill?” Because of sleeping the night before and the time passing, I ended up starting my pain meds simultaneously all  day yesterday. By night time and the 4th round of pills,I was very nauseus and my stomach went, “out you go”.

     At the same time, I am getting a cramp on my leg and I broke down crying. Its not  easy carrying this apparatus in my leg. Its so bulky and since it is drilled by about 10 thick pins from below my knees to my foot, it also feels very uncomfortable.

     And on top of that my foot is recovering from the other surgery of removing my old plates and pins. So I went from bionic ankle to a shishkobob on my ankle.  So here I am feeling the pain. I decided to take extra strength Tylenol to give my stomach a break. The thing is that I am feeling the pain more raw. I have to see how long I can tolerate it. I am trying to get off the pain pills.

  • Distractions help ease the pain

    I went to the doctors office today. Everything looks good so far.I have been waking up showering and doing the routine to feel good, put on a dress, put on make up. I have friends visiting, but by night time the pain is there. I am taking the pain medications every 4 hours writing every thing down so I don’t have to feel the pain and miss a dosage. (more…)
