We are both in the medical field and we both know how bad it can really get for some people. But even though these injuries are temporary set backs, they are major inconveniences and big bumps in the road for us, when we rely on exercise and movement to make us feel good. Especially when we are going through emotional trauma.
I hope you go to physical therapy! It will help with the acute pain in the beginning, and then help you heal or prepare you for surgery. Certain muscles need to be targeted for strengthinging if your ACL is ruptured. I'm crossing my fingers for you though. But dont worry, there will be alternate forms of exercise you can do! I'm sure you have connections with great orthopedists and rehab facilities. And an understanding yourself. But we can always talk.
What I told myself when I fractured my ankle a while ago (and ruptured a ligament), was that maybe that injury happened because if I kept going, I would have been hit by a car! Who knows?
Can your dad come by and help? You have tons of great friends that I'm sure would love to help you out. And then there's delivery. You will feel better each day.
And remember you don't need a boyfriend or husband to get you through this. But I understand how good it would feel to have someone that was concerned.
You're a strong woman, and i wish life would stop throwing out these obstacles for you! But I also know you will push on through.
Regarding OLD, I haven't actually set up my account yet. I'm excited and curious. I never did much dating. I'm a little worried about the time commitment, and the fact that I'm not healed. But who knows if I ever will be. Plus I live with my parents! I don't know if guys will care about that as much as a woman would. In my area, it's not that uncommon though. But I still feel it's a negative for me for a potential guy. I will update my thread about this topic though. It's a much more fun topic and problem then my divorce and I can't wait to be able to go there!
