Pity Party

I hate that i can do so little for my self right now. Using crutches severely limits your ability to do almost everything! Just getting a drink and transporting it is hard. At work, the reception desk is across from the dining room so when I need a drink I ask my wait staff or my boss when they pass by. I am stuck in half cranberry juice half un-sweet tea! At lunch, one of the kitchen staff made me lunch and carried it to a table in the break room. I am so glad for the help!
At home, hubby and the girls are tired of having to help. It is so hard to clean house on crutches. They will do the bare minimum but it makes me nervous to think about how bad it will get before I can really clean it again. The youngest will help some but being 14 she is rather antisocial. The worst is when the dogs need to go out. No one seems to hear me and I end up getting up to let them out.
This is getting very old. I had been trying to hobble on my heel but the doc warned I could end up needing surgery if I disturb the foot. Already today it is more swollen. I am not sure why but it definitely isn't happy. I am thinking I may have to call in "sick" to work tomorrow. I do have hand therapy so I will have to go to that. Next week, is my last week of hand therapy I think. I see the hand doc next Friday to check my progress. I think it is better but the crutches don't help. My knee walker can't arrive too soon.
OK, I got the self pity out and I had a good cry earlier (first since I broke foot), maybe I can start feeling better?
