Candy, borrow or rent a knee scooter. I got a fracture in my foot in 2018 which turned into Charcot foot. I was non weight bearing for several months. Knee scooter was a Godsend.
So sorry you are hurt. Well I guess Cody and Mitch will have to do more. I'm the same way don't like to ask, but there comes a time you just have to let others do
Reading, tv, crosswords, word search, adult coloring books, embrodery and crafts. I broke my ankle and could not put weight it on for 2 months.These are some of the things I did.
Candy, You are in my sisterhood. Two weeks ago, the Comcast guy was at my house installing new wiring for internet. I walked up my office steps a few times(2 steps) & in & out of my house (3 steps) a few times. Nothing strenuous. A couple hours after cable guy left, my left foot started hurting. I have had swelling/pain on that foot periodically when I have walked a lot. It would go away in a couple days. This was NOT that. This was on a Monday. Thursday I went to 3 food pantries. Two of them you stayed in your car & drove through. The 3rd one was by appointment so I didn’t have to stand & wait. I could barely walk 10’. I knew something was wrong. Friday went to urgent care & got the xrays. I have a fracture on the 5th metatarsal behind my little toe. Its ½ way up the side of the foot. They gave me this little cheap shoe with 2 velcro straps to walk in & crutches. I’m not doing the crutches. My friend had a “boot” that is the mac daddy of “boots” She is letting me borrow it. It is helping sooooo much. I put it beside the bed & strap up in the morning 1st thing. I also have found that motrin(800mg), along with some gabapentin has pretty much eliminated pain. (I had these on hand) Motrin is the best. Tylenol didn’t touch the pain. I can get around, but I’m not pushing it just yet. They told me these fractures can take 6-8 months to heal. Trust me when I say, I FEEL your pain!!
Sisterhood 💞 of fractures 🫂 I'm sorry you have to share this pain. But I'll take all the Sisterhood I can get. You can never have too many sisters 💕 I'm resting as much as possible. You rest, too. 6-8 months??? WTHeck That's a long time ⌛️ oh well, I guess I'll just work on our Amazon Wishes for 2024. I mean, Christmas is coming 🎄🎁
😮 I've been there done that I was miserable broke my toes running down the stairs caught my foot in my lining of my coat and fell down 5 steps. Went to work waitressing came home took my shoe off😢 my foot was swollen 3 toes black. Well I kept a thick sock on that foot tried to stay off it at least 8 hours ( you can do that) walked in sandels but I still worked ...in sandels with that thick sock..it hurt less after awhile but I iced it rubbed off with Vicks at night and learned to walk on my heel more. I healed 😅 I don't stay still either. But I did mend ..😂it's your baby take care of it ...prayers you heal quickly
I broke my foot at the exact same place on July 3 of this year I was in the boot for three weeks with minimal weight on that foot you could sit and watch RUclips videos that would keep you off your foot and give you ideas on creator content.
Welcome 😊 Thanks for subbing! I'm doing ok, limping around with a Crazy ugly shoe on to help my fit hurt less. But it still hurts pretty bad. Thanks for asking. I'm so glad you're here. 💞
I broke my neck and got a brain injury. I worked 3 days. I finally drove myself to the ER (after work) when my head hurt so bad I vomited and my vision went from double to triple. Take care of yourself! You only have 1 body and it needs to last your whole life. I was immobile a long time. I spent months in therapy teaching my eye to retrack and gaining back balance. 4 years later, I still battle migraines and terrible back and neck pain. I listened to audio books. Perhaps you can send cards and notes, or reach out to someone. Can you get a scooter and put your knee on it? I binge watched so much TV. Coloring books for adults may be fun, or needlepoint. I hope you heal quickly. ❤
I'm so sorry to hear of your injury. That sounds so much harder than what I'm going through. I'm so grateful for all your suggestions. The last two days, I laid in my bed and cut up a bunch of old t shirts into squares (not super even since I was in bed) in an attempt to make a small quilt. I'm thinking I'll try sewing in a couple of days. But the cards and letters are a great idea. Thank you. I'm resting as much as I can and letting Mitch and Codee handle the cooking and other house chores
I've broken a toe before and I can see it. I can only imagine how bruised that was. Can you walk on your heel? I cooked etc, no stairs in my house thank goodness, but I did it all with the weight on my heel. Or when standing the weight on the inside edge of my foot.
I can walk it just hurts with every step. I think I'll pre make some easy meals so then Codee and Mitch can handle it easier. The problem is I have a hard time sitting still doing nothing.
That seals it if the doctor says your not crazy then your not.Lol Do what the doctor says, hard I know but you want to get well as soon as possible.Take care my friend love you.❤🙏🙏🙏
Dont feel like the lone ranger i bin suffering with sciatica since April muscle relaxers physical therapy ibrephrophen muscle relaxers physical therapy yawdy yawdy endless battle vicious circle😢
I'm working on a blanket right now. I've spent yesterday and today cutting up the "t-shirt scraps" from Codee's t-shirt quilt. And I'm going to sew them together and make a couch throw 🤞🙏💞
Sit in a chair at the table to prep veg for a crockpot soup. That will give your family good meals and you can rest. Heal quickly.
Yes! Thank you! Great idea 💞

Oh Wow, Thanks 😊

Yes, they have been amazing and such a blessing to me. Cooking and cleaning. bringing me food and drinks. They are the best! 💞😊
@@CandanceBrewer I'm glad

It is a good time to study on any subject you've been wanting to puck up, or projects you're planning.
Great idea. Thank you
Be very careful my Friend 😢❤. 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, thank you. I will
Hello beautiful blessed friend I'm the same way and today had to go back to disability court over the same issues for over a year
I'm so sorry. I hate court for any reason. I pray everything finally got worked out for you.
Heal fast!
Thank you 💞 😊 🙏

Exactly!! "I'm not Crazy" 🤣😂🤣
I'm having a radical hysterectomy on Wednesday Sept 4th, for cervical cancer
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry 😞 Praying for you and everything to work out, smooth and complete recovery 🙏 💙
@@CandanceBrewer thank you so very much. One day at a time.
Amen 💞 🙏 💞
are you doing ok? Do you need anything?
Read a book. Crochet lots.
I'm not a great reader because I have ADHD, maybe an Audio book. I'm for sure gonna start crocheting something, I have lots of yarn.
Dont feel like the lone ranger i bin suffering with sciatica since April muscle relaxers physical therapy ibrephrophen muscle relaxers physical therapy yawdy yawdy endless battle vicious circle😢
Thank you. I won't. I'm sorry you are in that vicious circle. I'm trying my best to rest as much as I can 💞🙏 prayers for us both
I watch RUclips when I need to slow down
That's a great idea. I have so many RUclips friends and feel like I never have time to watch them all 💞 Thank you for this suggestion.
Neither do I no how to slow down rest were moms that's why
AMEN 💞 🙏 💞
Make a blanket and just try to rest your foot hope it's not to long before your up and running again xxx❤
I'm working on a blanket right now. I've spent yesterday and today cutting up the "t-shirt scraps" from Codee's t-shirt quilt. And I'm going to sew them together and make a couch throw 🤞🙏💞
Coloring, word search
Oh yes, I forgot about word searches! Thanks 💞 😊
i need to get back to corey roos chair yoga it makes me so much less tight.
Sounds great 👍🏻
You will hurt your self more Candace if you don't rest it. Get an air shoe. Thats the only thing that will help. Mitch will need to cook and clean.
I'm resting. Mitch and Codee are cooking and cleaning. Thanks 💞 😊
Cook with you sitting on a stool. I did it when I broke my toes.
That's a great idea. Thank you
Read your Bible sweetie when you are resting your feet. Be good for your soul ❤May God bless y'all 🙏 👵
Yes! Thank you! I can for sure do this more. Especially with my daughter getting ready to serve a church mission. God bless you, friend 🧡
You broke your foot. I did the same thing.
Craziness.
Color draw crock pot meal from chair
Thanks for the idea! I did a crock pot meal tonight for dinner. Super easy. The video will post tomorrow. 💞😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Thank you 💞 😊 🙏
Make a blanket 🤔🤗❤
I was thinking of this. I've got lots of fabric and was thinking of sewing a throw blanket
@@CandanceBrewer I remember the blanket that you made for your daughter 💗
Awe, it is so beautiful 😍 🤩 I'm cutting up all the t shirt scraps left over and using that.
Oh yeah not only that i have neuropathy (f😢k me)
😪💞🙏
What did you do now 🤔?
I was helping others.
@@CandanceBrewer 💝
Can you get a knee scooter/ rent?😮
I might be able to, but I fear I'd fall and hurt myself worse. I'll look into it
