01-28-25 A Real Pain
This was the first reason that I didn’t want to get up this morning
I put in 8.5 billable hours, a small break for lunch and the loo, and did some volunteer work on top of that. I became very emotional from the strain of it all and finally texted for a ride just after 7. I was grateful for the pea soup awaiting my return. I was more grateful that when I connected my keyboard that Gene and I picked up this morning to my non functioning laptop, I was able to login in etc. it is effectively now a desktop but at least I don’t have to spend money that I do t have right now.
The best part of the day was when I relaxed into the chair in my jams and removed my aircast and sock. It is hard to explain the grinding down it causes. I am not always in pain, there are merely moments, but I am always aware and uncomfortable. I know that the longer I sit at my desk the worse it gets and yet I am too tired to fully function and move around much. I have to be even more careful. This is the time of year when I am normally so tired that I lose my personal bubble of protection, this multiplies the lack of awareness for my safety.
I also shouldn’t have looked up the usual healing progress and timeline of a syndesmosis Injury combined with a fracture…. Sigh. I am a sad sack tonight. So, I watched ‘A Real Pain’. It was worth it.
