HEALING, HEALING, AND MORE HEALING

   Hello, folks! How are you all? Sorry I haven't blogged in quite a while. To be quite honest, I have just been so tired, and busy, I just haven't had the energy to blog. At night time, I usually try to keep my electronic usage at a minimum, so I won't stay up late, and can fall asleep easily. But tonight, won't be one of those nights, because I took a nap earlier, then I had to fill out some paperwork for my school, and then I was playing Wario Land 3 lol (free, thanks again to Miitomo).

Not going to lie, so far, it's alright. I liked Super Mario Land 2 more,
but I just started so hopefully it will get better or I will like it more.

   So as I was playing, I was like, "Hmmm... I should blog, since I blogged after playing Super Mario Land 2". So that's what I decided to do. Honestly, I was feeling bad that I didn't blog for a while, but I have been just so tired, I just haven't had the energy. Another reason, besides my leg healing, is my daughter. Though, I don't do as much as I use to when I was mobile with her, I still try to do as much with her, and she is a work out lol. Especially now since she is crawling everywhere, standing, and using her legs as much as possible. She is probably going to be walking before I do LOL.
   Then today, I started outpatient physical therapy. Up until today, I use to have a nurse, physical therapist, and an OT come  to my house almost everyday to check my vitals, change the dressing on my leg, and help me be more mobile. But today, I officially started outpatient therapy, so I am officially discharged from home services. I am a little bummed, because I really grew to like all my nurses, and therapists, and they helped me out so, so much. But now the real healing begins, and now I am really going to be doing more with physical therapy (FUCKING FINALLY).
   So you wanna see some gnarly shit? LET'S SEE SOME GNARLY SHIT!

SO, THIS IS MY LEG AFTER SURGERY

   This is the first time I ever saw my leg after surgery. When I got discharged from the hospital, I was told I needed to change the dressing on my leg EVERY DAY. Since I was still weak to do it by myself, and since EVERYONE was being a little BITCH (LOL JK... kinda). I had no one to help, and change my dressings, so my nurses, and physical therapists did it for me. This was the first time my dressing was being changed since I left the hospital, and I was so amazed lol. It was so gnarly, my husband was grossed out, but I thought it was the shit. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but none the less, it was still really sore and swollen.

   Over time as I got more strength (and more confidence), I was able to change it by myself, so that was nice (once you start being able to do more and more by yourself, you start to feel good about yourself, because you are getting a little more independence back).

   So now... let me show you my leg BEFORE surgery.

*NOTE: THIS WAS AFTER MY FIXATOR, BUT BEFORE MY SURGERY

IF YOU THINK THIS WAS BAD NOW, IMAGINE HOW IT WAS BEFORE MY FIXATOR.

   On Monday, I had a follow up appointment with my doctor to get my staples out, and to see how I was doing. I haven't seen her since the surgery, I was suppose to see her a week earlier, but do to scheduling, and me getting a ride, I had to reschedule UGH. lol. So when I saw her that day, she was like, "Yeah... that was pretty gnarly, and this is after you having your fixator, I don't want to imagine how it was before". 

   She said no one believed how bad this fracture was, and how not so bad the accident happened. When my doctor was telling them how I hurt myself on a trampoline, she was getting responses like, 

"She was on the trampoline, and then she fell off it right?"

"No, she was still on it."

"Oh, so then she landed on the side or something right"

"No, she was just jumping up, and down on it"

"OH! So then she just landed wrong then right?"

"Nope, she went straight up and straight down"

   I know... HOW DOES IT HAPPEN LOL. I did ask my doctor how I got such a bad injury at my age, and she just said it was just the right amount of force, with the bad amount timing, and just straight... STRAIGHT BAD LUCK smh lol. Well... it's already happened, and now we got to make the best of it. So positive thinking, lots of exercise, good diet, and good ol' physical therapy. I have been trying to use my time wisely to do crafty things... when I have the energy. I haven't done much, but I have done some stuff, but more on that next time.

So now... this is my leg now AFTER surgery.

I'm a machine lol JK.

And this ashy ass, hairy ass, dead skin leg is mine LOL. 

   This was my last day with my staples in, and now I finally got the okay to shower with my brace off. I was so happy to hear that news, because this dead ass skin is killing me. It's so freaking gross, I can't stand it. If you think this is bad, you should see my foot. Though, I didn't have surgery on my foot, because it's not as mobile, it's getting SOOOO much dead skin, it's disgusting lol. My brother said it feels like a gorilla pad lol. 

   Well, that's all for today folks! I will be blogging again soon! I hope you all enjoyed seeing my sexy ass leg! It's time for me to rest, as I have to wake up early tomorrow for a meeting at my school at the Disability Resource Program office since I will be needing some help at the school while I am attending. Talk to you guys again soon! Good night, and sweet dreams!
