I’m laid up right now and I’m an anxious mess. I’m worried about finances and now my car. My mom said the engine sounded funny when she brought it over to her place, where I’m staying.
I’m getting surgery to fix my ankle tomorrow and I’ll hopefully be wfh a week after that. But I will have missed an entire pay period. My big bills are coming up next week, and idk if I’ll have enough to pay them. I also can’t afford a new car, and I’m afraid I’ll need a new one soon.
I’m so overwhelmed. I’ve been close to tears for almost an hour. I’m sure the excruciating pain of my severely broken bones isn’t helping. I’ve been trying to distract myself with TV, games, and crafts, but the anxiety is still persistently at the back of my mind.
The surgery was outpatient. They can’t do anything more for me currently. I’m on Vicodin every 6 hours and aspirin twice a day. I was also told that I can take some ibuprofen if I need it. The pain is actually a bit better right now. I managed to get some sleep and it seems to have helped a lot
I’m glad sleep helped. Rebuilding and healing take a lot of energy.
Hope you continue to see steady improvement and can get back to launching kayaks (if that is, indeed, your thing).
Thank you! I haven’t launched a kayak in a long time because my kayaking partner and I have been hella busy. My goal is to just get back to my own house asap lol.
