2-weeks
Two weeks down, ten to go! I’m still stuck at home though my only real problem is that my brace is too uncomfortable to wear for more than 3 hours at a time. I should feel lucky that I’m not in more pain but instead I feel completely held back by the fact that somebody was too incompetent to design my brace correctly. Something about that is more depressing than if I were laid up in bed, unable to move. I feel like so many people have been cheated by this poor design.
I feel so sorry for what this has done to Brian. I know it kills him to see me this way. I hate that that he has to take care of me like a child. I’m torn because I want to be able to help and take the burden of him but I know that doing so too early may leave me limited for my whole life. Everybody keeps telling me to slow down but I don’t know what that means. Life doesn’t slow down.
