My Right Patella Recovery

My right ankle

My right ankle hurts really bad and there is nothing I can do to relieve the pain. It feels as though the cast is rubbing blisters on my ankle. Luckily, I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday afternoon and I can discuss this with him. I am not sure he will do a thing about it because he is so cautious when it comes to that knee he may not want to take off the cast to look at the ankle.

I know yesterday I sat in my wheelchair for about three hours while we were at a play in our neighbooriung town ten miles away. It may have been a contributor to the problem. Then again, it was hurting the night before so I am back at square one.

Next Friday will be exactly 4 weeks since the surgery. I have another 4 weeks to go before the cast would be removed permanently provided the knee is all healed. Then I will have physical therapy that follows.

I am worn out from all the surgeries, recovery periods, and the lack of being able to do much of anything. I really just want to get everything over with so I can get back to my life as I knew and know it. I most want to relieve my husband from doing everything around the house. I know I have said that a lot of times here but it is the truth. My husband is burned out -- all he can think of is being able to sleep for two weeks straight after the semester and before his suimmer session starts and he has to teach again. This makes me feel guilty that I find myself in this position, although I know he does not blame me...It is more that I blame myself.
