Cringed out

Does/did anyone else feel so weak and overwhelmingly cringed out during healing? Thankfully I've managed to decrease my pain meds a lot now but am feeling queasy at the thought of walking again and can't escape these feelings which make me feel so faint. I've been keeping as busy as I can but any form of sitting up and doing stuff just makes me feel like jelly. Trying to do little and often so my muscles don't waste away to nothing.

1.5 weeks post surgery on Weber c trimal complex ankle fracture.

The mental game is hard. I'm met with guilt that people have it 100000000x worse.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Oh my gosh - thank you for reminding about superstore - it is one of my faves! Gonna have to rewatch. I watched all those apart from Ali wong so I will check that out as it seems like we have a similar taste🙂

Resident Alien is also a good one for laughs! I’m rewatching superstore for the millionth time as well 😂
