Yesterday, my mom commented on how surprised she was at how I’ve been tolerating the pain during recovery. I haven’t been complaining (of course, the drugs have been helping). She is just amazed, especially since in the past week, I’ve made amazing progress and made it yesterday with only taking 4 pain pills all day!
I told her that this weekend I realized that the spot in my ankle that had been giving me the most pain over the past 8+ months is the exact spot where my surgeon found a surprise fracture (and fixed it with a screw).
Basically, I’ve been walking around since July on a broken ankle.
I am such a badass.
I guess I’ve just gotten used to the pain.
I can’t wait to finally walk around without pain or discomfort!
Amy, women are kick-ass in general w/dealing with pain, and you are so motivated that a little pain isn’t going to knock you down.
So glad you had the surgery though – I assume it would have just gotten worse and worse.
