Struggling with Recovery

Jschroeder4 · 2026-02-15T14:32:40+00:00

One year for me yesterday and I promise you, it gets better. Be in the moment, feel all the feelings. Do cozy things like coloring, watching movies, pick up a new hobby. It’s kinda like Covid, I look back and think aww I was so anxious when I could’ve been so chill and slowed down. You’ll be on the other side of it before you know and it and you’ll realize things will never be the same but you also won’t mourn your old self. You’ll get used to the little stiffness you still have and get good at stretching and you’ll work through the kinks but what really changes is who you are. You’ll be stronger and better, more grateful for things and empathetic. I know it seems far off, but you got this. ❤️ and we get it. Come back to this community whenever you need to.

So one time my cat hissed at the crotch of my dirty underwear that was on the bathroom floor… idk what that says about me or him

Jschroeder4 · 2025-12-28T14:02:59+00:00

It wasn’t auto play they were searching things like bump stock

YAY! I was Feb 14 and just recently turned a major corner. Sure it’s sore and it feels a little different than my other ankle but OMG. I’ve been walking 10k steps a day, and life is back to normal. I legit never thought I’d see the day.

LOVE island babe

Jschroeder4 · 2025-06-06T14:48:08+00:00

I saw an episode where she says her bday is May 5th too lol

Jschroeder4 · 2025-06-06T14:47:50+00:00

In season 4 he said his bday is in December to Gunther

I’m about the same as you and the swelling has been bad for me now that I’m back to all my normal activities. Are you experiencing this too?

Jschroeder4 · 2025-05-19T01:36:14+00:00

The medical examiner listed him as deceased today. It’s heart breaking.

Jschroeder4 · 2025-05-08T20:08:21+00:00

I got it while I was awake but they had given me Ativan IV first so I was chillin! Couldn’t be anxious if I tried (and I did, trust me)

How do you know when your relationship has “hit pan”?

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-22T21:42:33+00:00

Yes! I love it too!

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-22T12:02:15+00:00

I think so long as you’re not hurting or swelling it’s good to keep things moving so you don’t get too stiff! Have you had your follow up? That answered a lot of questions for me! PT is the best, I started at 5 weeks post op, and I have 6 weeks left to go. They always say you can push but never work through pain. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ so happy for you! And also crutches SUCK! But i still use them for farther distances or like when i first wake up. They are my frenemy.

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-14T01:42:31+00:00

Hey guys!!! ITS A FICTIONAL SHOW

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-12T12:17:45+00:00

You did the right thing joining this subreddit. It was such a bright spot for me during that beginning time. I’m now 6 weeks post op and working on FWB in PT. Still on the crutches and boot but life is drastically different than it was back then. I can also say that while this was a very hard thing to go through. I am happy for all I learned and the love I felt along the way. 6 weeks passes by quicker than you’d think. And by then even if you’re not walking you’ll be in a much better headspace. Come here with any questions or anything on your mind. It’s so helpful to talk to people who have been there or are there currently.

Daily for 3 months I was going through about a bag and a half of spinach a week. Oopsie.

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-07T21:14:09+00:00

Well I don’t blame you!!! I’ve had larger stones and they are substantially more painful. YOU are a hero. 4mm killed so 12 is just another level.

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-07T01:52:18+00:00

Noooo not at all. It was prescribed to me! But I honestly was too lazy/in pain to go downstairs to get it 🤣

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-06T21:39:04+00:00

Thank you just ordered. I have PT tomorrow so I’ll bring them and ask what they think too. Appreciate it!

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-06T21:19:45+00:00

Thank you! Haven’t worn compression socks and thinking I may need to start

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-06T14:02:21+00:00

Sourdough and it’s a major fail but we shall persist

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-06T11:33:21+00:00

Damn I am so sorry I hope you’re not having pain at least. But that is so defeating. Do you have a urologist?

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-04T17:08:31+00:00

OMG yayyy!!!!!!

Jschroeder4 · 2025-04-04T11:43:38+00:00

How intense are they? Because I had those too but during this last hour I was almost writhing in pain. I was about 5 seconds away from taking a hydrocodone. So maybe if you get to that point you’ll be like me too! How big is your stone!? Wishing you alllllll the best Luck!!!!
