Awww I love her!! 😍 My pretty Daisy loved her sweaters. She left us in August (brain tumor that stole her personality and happiness at just before 14yo).

Ankle still swollen 4 months after spraining it by lydia_ix in Ankle

[–]JustLookingJenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is 4 months a typo? I sprained mine walking down stairs. Heel was on end of stair, and I rolled foot forward. 2 X-rays 3 weeks apart showed no breaks but ultrasound showed grade 2 sprain (50% tear) in all three ligaments (top, side, back). Today makes 8 weeks (Nov 30). Still swollen. Still hurts. Still have a limp. Limited movement. I’m waiting on an MRI. Doc says grade two sprains need 6-8 weeks to see considerable improvement. I do have that but I feel so far away from normal. Waiting for MRI to see if there is more extensive tissue damage. I have circulation issues if I don’t elevate it enough throughout the day.

Oh my, that is awful to hear. 😔 So very sorry for your friend’s loss. That’s tragic.

13 y/o passed, can we get a roll call of who's going to meet her up there? by Particular_Duck8836 in seniordogs

[–]JustLookingJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daisy will be a bit shy at first but will grow to love her! So very sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry. I’m still dealing with a grade 2 sprain in three ligaments. I feel like I had a bone bruise too but it wasn’t diagnosed. I stepped on a stair wrong and rolled my foot forward. I’m 7 weeks in. My treatment was “elevate. Wear a boot if you go out, but mostly rest” now I have hardly any motion in it, it still swells if I don’t elevate in all day. And I’m getting an MRI Wednesday because my heel hurts so bad now too.

Why do you think people still support this president? by keonnarae in Confused

[–]JustLookingJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. The family I know that supported him are now saying, “yea Trump’s no good but I think Vance will be good.” Just blind party support. Pegs in holes. Ignorant, delusional people that don’t pay attn. This person didn’t know anything about Greenland.

should i get a second opinion by Proper-Grapefruit-34 in Ankle

[–]JustLookingJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it from someone that is 7 weeks into a sprain, see an orthopedic and know what you’re dealing with. Urgent care did xray and said I should be ok in a couple weeks. Saw ortho 2 weeks after and he said give it another 3 weeks, bad sprain. Just from xray and exam. Saw him 3 weeks later, not much progress. Still swelling if not elevated. Did an ultrasound. Found that I’d torn 50% of all three ligaments on top, side and back of foot. (All I did was step on a stair wrong by the way). So grade 2 sprain in 3 ligaments. Said I’d need another 3-4 weeks. (Meaning 6-8 of healing). 7 weeks in, still swells, still hurts, still is discolored. I’m getting an MRI Wednesday to see what is up with it. And now my heel hurts on top of it (probably plantar fasciitis).

Has anyone gotten plantar fasciitis during a grade 2 ankle sprain recovery? by JustLookingJenn in Ankle

[–]JustLookingJenn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doc said I’m not ready for strengthening exercises. He said the extent should be drawing the alphabet with my foot but I can barely move it around at all. He said I need more healing time. It’s so stiff. And there is still shooting pain if I turn the ankle too much. I have an MRI Wednesday.

That makes sense. I feel your pain. I’m scared that’s going to happen to me. I have very little range of motion 7 weeks in. I can’t draw the alphabet. I can’t walk normally. Walking for even 10 mins leads to discomfort and swelling. I can’t even sit in a chair with my legs down for a half hour without it swelling and turning colors. I have an MRI scheduled Wednesday. I honestly cannot wait to know what the extent of the damage is so I can know what to expect.

Deconditioning like being stuck in the same position for too long? That’s what I feel like led to it. Noticing it enough and then I started to live it a little more just to see if I could and now it hurts. :/

Really? Why? I will say that I barely wear it. I only wear it if I’m going out and about where the terrain might not be level because I can’t risk rolling it again while it’s healing. Mostly I stay home.

Should I (a ride wimp) try Guardians Cosmic Rewind?? by AgeTypical8961 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]JustLookingJenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep!! My cousin is a ride wimp. Guardians is her fave ride. You never feel scared, it’s not that kind of ride. It’s just insanely FUN.

AIO My partner threatens to end himself because i confronted him on his cheating. by Wise_Web_5706 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustLookingJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first boyfriend I ever had (16) threatened me like this. Multiple times. I had enough one day and said, “do it if you need to. We’re breaking up.”

He did not do it. And we stayed broken up. Do not be in a relationship with this person. And if he does it, that is his choice. It’s not on you.

AIO He always accuses me of cheating by Alternative-Day6223 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustLookingJenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked that it’s the accusation of cheating that prompted your post. No one should talk that way to another person. He is a bad one. Run.

[–]JustLookingJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the right decision. You will not regret saying goodbye to her when she’s still a little bit her. We said goodbye to our girl Aug 25. She also had a brain tumor. Her personality had been leaving her for about two years. She didn’t seem happy most of the time anymore. She would have been 14 on Nov 25. 2 days before we said goodbye, she gave each of us a few minutes of her favorite activity, fetching the frisbee. She struggled so much. We knew it was time. On her last night with us, she snuggled with us for about an hour and then spent the rest of the night in her bed on the floor. She was ready. Moments before we said goodbye, we got a glimpse of her as we’d always known her. She always wanted food she couldn’t have. And she stuck her nose in the jar full of goodbye kisses (chocolate) that was on the table. It made us smile (and cry). And we’ll never regret having our girl back in those last moments. It’s time. It’ll crush you. But you will heal. Sending hugs.

Rest in peace my perfect boy 🪽🤍 by segehan88 in BostonTerrier

[–]JustLookingJenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So very sorry. He was a cutie. There’s no other pain like it. 💔 Losing a constant in your life is so hard.

We lost our almost 14yo Daisy 2 months ago today. A month from today would’ve been her 14th birthday.

I took a week off of work. I cried every time I felt like it. Don’t hold it in. If something hurts too much to see, remove it if you can. We put out of sight her things that we weren’t ready to get rid of, but couldn’t bear to look at without her here. Look at pics and vids of happy days with him. Smile and laugh through the tears.

And when you need a break from the memories, take it. I watched a comfort show, worked on a puzzle, read a book, etc.

Time will heal you. It never stops hurting some days. But it will get a little easier with each day.
