I decided to approach this problem much like my recovery. I listed all the things that bothered me, allowed myself a few minutes to cry, scream, or pout. I then listed all the things I could do to relieve some pain and worked on ways I could implement as many as possible into my day. Finally, I listed the things I love and enjoy that I don't need my leg for. Reading. writing, training dogs, and so on. And created a schedule for myself to complete those things connected with rewards for completion. I'm hoping it will create a more positive association if I stick to it and help rid some of the negative and detrimental thoughts from my head. Once my brain is inline one this, I can start to resituate my healing as an aca. I have asked my frustrated but loving friends and "family" to be patient and the wonderful people they are, but that I may need some ti They were all very supportive and are giving me the space to fullfill my goals and give all of. Us back the person I want to be.
