I can't wait...

Well, tomorrow I see my medication P/A for an evaluation of my meds. She will determine if I can resume my Lyrica/Scalexan/Cymbalta since I am down to about 2 Percocets per day now.
I need to talk to her about my horrible anxiety attacks and mood swings and see what she wants to do about those.

Wednesday, if all goes well and the X-Rays show up positive, I should be able to get my cast off and get a removable boot on so I can shower a bit better and move around easier. He told me I will still have no weight bearing while going through intense physical therapy but anything has to be better than this cast I have on.

I want to be able to turn in the wheelchair, move around a bit easier and make it more bearable to transport me from place to place. I hate having all this gear to take with me and I hate even more that my foot looks like it is rotting in the cast.

My foot still turns blue periodically, it is still swelling badly in the cast and the spasms are still coming on, but I am learning to deal with those a bit easier.

My heart goes out to the wives and family members of our troops that are overseas or just out of sight during this holiday season. I remember as a military wife going through that loneliness and not thinking I would pull through, but I did it.

That seems a million years away on the days I cry for my husbands arms to hold me, how I pray to see his smile again. I know I would miss him even if I had both legs, but for now, not being able to take care of myself or the kids without help, I just miss him so very very much.
