Just got back from the Doctor
 

And apparently I didn't tear the ligaments in my thighs as I was told by the ER....

Nope it's much worse. I ruptured the muscles in my quads. Physical Therapy for the next 4-6weeks with new medications on top of what I was already prescribed. Friggen awesome.

On a more positive note, I talked to him about me joining this site, and getting on the road to not drinking anymore. He was very happy about that, offered me support and a few ideas to keep me on track. he asked about my smoking, and I told him that with not drinking I have actually cut back half of what I normally smoke, so in time that too may go away. We talked about the depression and the ideas of talking to a therapist. He says it sounds like I'm off to a good start, and that it sounds like I'm taking this seriously.

Day 5 has a bigger smile. :c014:

Ouch, sorry about your news but glad to see you seem to have the right attitude about it. Wishing you the best in all aspects of your recovery!

Sorry for your injury but congrats on five days sober!! :)

Congrats on asking solid advice from doc! I quit smoking around 8 months sober - tried earlier and it was just too much.

I heard once we quit things in the order they'll kill us........made sense I guess.
Thanks for the post
keep coming back!
