Sean, this is not trivial. It is a terrible trial. I am hoping you can recover sooner rather than later.Just makes me mad and it's so frustrating to think it's getting better and then takes a turn out to 'way' left field. Haven't had to take pain meds for several months and now, today, I'm having too because something got turned or twisted while I was asleep! SMH... Tramadol is great stuff but at the same time, I hate taking anything unless it's a last resort.
Tonya, the doc told me it could take a year to completely, fully heal. When I broke my tibia and fibia, it took 11months before I was able to walk on it again, and that fracture was nowhere as bad or complicated as this fracture.
Two fractures back to back like this has really taken a tole on my body. That and not being able to do something as simple as put a sock on without causing alot of pain and taking 15 minutes to do so, has put a big damper on my state of mind. I can't take care of my birds like I should be...I've lost several birds in the last week because of it, should have been out there watching them, moving them around to prevent them from fighting and killing one another, or the hens getting injured by an aggressive male.
Sorry about this rant, I'm off my soapbox. I appreciate everyone's concern...I've never been one to feel sorry for myself or a situation I might find myself in....no matter how bad my situation is, someone else is having a far worse day than I....this is trivial compared to what others on here are going through.
