Busted my *ss and need prayers please
Hi ya'll.....as some of you know I had an ankle reconstruction 3 months ago. Just this last week I came out of my walker boot. Yesterday my foot snagged an ivy vine and I took a really nasty spill. I'm back in the walker boot but didn't do too much damage to my ankle.
My shoulder is another story. I tore my rotator cuff and the labrum in my shoulder joint. The doc is going to wait 2 weeks to decide what to do. I do not have have any more leave left nor days off. I can't lift my arm from my side and I'm trying to lug people around as a physical therapist.
I would appreciate any and all prayers - for healing and a decrease of pain.
Thanks - Donna

Well Yow Donna!
Maybe to alleviate some of the pain you have right now, they could give you a cortisone shot while you're waiting.
I was diagnosed with a partial tear rotator cuff a few years ago...(ouch)
and I recently had a cortisone shot in it, and it sure seems pretty good right now.
prayers for your ankle and shoulder!

UGH!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! OWWWWWWW.
Go ahead. Scream in frustration and pain. You must have invented some new words when you fell.
I tore my ACL (behind my knee) a couple years ago and was in a brace forever.
Last year I had a bulging cervical disk and couldn't get up to pee, let alone feed the cats. I KNOW pain like you do, and sometimes you have to just scream to the heavens and get that out of your system.
WOW. You are being tested by your HP right now.
He wants to see just how much you can take.
Prove to him how strong you are....You have gotten through worse....much worse.
Show Him, us and yourself that this is just another pain in the *ss obstacle on the road to peace. You will get there. You just might limp along the way.
(((Donna))) feel better....and have some chicken soup. It really does heal.
I hope you can get some sleep, which will also help heal.

Donna, I'm so sorry - So tough to have to work through pain like that when you have to use the injured body part. I sure hope you have lots of supportive coworkers. Sending gentle hugs and lots of prayers for peace and healing.

thanks ya'll soooooo much! I'm perfectly serious about this......last night after I posted the pain did lessen tremendously. Also, this morning I had a little bit more movement in it. Our prayers here are powerful things. There truly was a big difference. I am off of work until Tuesday so I have a weekend of healing ahead....thank God.
I'm hestitant to get an injection just yet because I know that if I feel better I am likely to bust through and hurt it worse. I go back in two weeks for further assessment.
I do feel a bit tested by HP - however, I'm getting the message. I am meeting with a career counselor in 2 weeks to regroup. I love my profession (trauma specialist in PT) but it's not loving me so much any more. Me thinks it might be the time to re-invent myself a bit. Scary as that may be!
Thank you again everyone!!!! love love love

thanks ya'll.... you know I am frustrated but I'm actually more curious than anything. When I think about the gifts of recovery I do think of this one...I know that HP must have something up her sleeve.....wondering when it is that I am going to get it?
I've been stumped for the last while trying to think of qualities in myself that I really like. Not just appreciate or be aware of - but really go....I like such and such about me. (I've never been a great big fan of myself). Last week I realized that I like that I am not very materialistic. Today, I had an appt with a trainer at a new gym....I gimped in with my walker boot on and my wounded paw and realized that I like my gumption too. There wasn't much I could do but suiting up and showing up made me feel better and laugh a bit. So now I have 2 things that I like!
I've been thinking about starting a private practice for awhile now.....body work based on trauma recovery/somatic psychology. I have my PT background as well as healing touch, other touch therapies, somatic trauma healing training, guided imagery, and biofeedback. Maybe I'm being guided into checking out new paths since I've never mustered up the nerve to "hang out the shingle". In 2 weeks I move back into my house and I have office space there now - so no overhead if I give it a try.
I've always known how powerful prayer is - and especially the prayers of this group......thanks everyone. I am continuing to feel a little bit better (as long as I leave my arm hanging and don't use it) and know that it is all the good thoughts and prayers.
Love and peace!
