I too broke my ankle in 3 places along with a dislocation and had the ORIF surgery. I had a plate and 10 screws inserted to my leg. I'm also looking forward to going back to work in a few weeks. I can't do any personal training but I can at least run the front desk. I'll find out in 2 weeks when I go back for a follow up. Glad you were able to get out. I feel like that's a huge part of the recovery process because you maintain a sense of normalcy while your injury heals.
Jenni this has been by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do. On top of all of this my dr keeps screwing up the orders for PT. Laying in this damn hospital bed isn't gonna help me in any way shape or form.
Good lord I would be insane if I had to remain in hospital after one night of incompetence of staff and the threat of being in a gender mixed room, my awesome husband said "She's coming home" he sounded like the terminator and they said ok.i have not been alone in a bedroom with male except my husband for 40 years except for two nights in hospital 4 years ago after a gangrene gall bladder removal. I was put in a room with 3 men and was terrified and my husband promised he would never allow it to ever happen again unless he could stay with me. He was true to his word and. I'm in Australia and I hope wherever you are they don't do mixed wards. And yes this injury is bad enough without the grieving your suffering. And survivor guilt would be ten fold for you. I do hope your getting help with the mental trauma as well. Feel free to private message whenever you need a sound off. Xxxlove to you. Jenni.
