My Right Patella Recovery

Are you as bored as I?

I am so sick of seeing the same eight walls all day long: I think I'm gonna puke.

All day long I sit in the bed or in the living room watching the TV and/or the computer screen. It is amazing that I even have kept my sanity through this recovery process. And the only way that has happened is through screams and yelling at various times during the day.

I wish that there was something I could do but really with my leg being forced as straight as possible and locked into that position, there is very little I can do. Getting into the car is even a challenge at that. I have been held up in my home for 5 days what a journey into insanity that can be.

The minute my doctor gives me my 'walking' papers I am out of this house in a heartbeat. Until then it is to the doctor's appointments and back home and that is it. What a mundane life that leaves me.

I have not seen some people since my accident and I have to say I generally miss people contact. Everyone seems to be so busy with their own lives that they forget about us shut-ins. Or simply cannot find the time of day to spare to visit those less fortunate.

Oh well...This will soon be all over and a very distant memory...at least that is my hope.
