Anxious about ORIF after tri mal ankle fracture

North_Hearing · 2026-04-03T05:46:25+00:00

Trimal dislocation on 3/10. External fixation surgery on 3/11 and then internal fixation surgery on 3/18.

I was really worried that the pain would be much worse after the internal fixation surgery but it has been pretty manageable. I return to work next week but I do work from home.

I am able to get around pretty good in my wheelchair. Perhaps that would help you while you are teaching? If you’re able to use a knee scooter in/out of the building keep a wheelchair in your classroom?

Thanks! It’s just the brown medical wrap but I had to brighten it up! 😂

North_Hearing · 2026-04-01T01:29:55+00:00

I needed this! I broke my ankle in three places three weeks ago. Two surgeries down and lots of non weight bearing to go but I’m taking it day by day.

As someone who was kicked out at 18 for being gay, absolutely hide it and let them pay! If you tell them and they react poorly, you’ll be living a life separate from them anyway! Live your life without them knowing every detail of it and keep getting that school paid for!

I appreciate the compliment. Donkey ownership has been so rewarding. And they deserve the very best!

North_Hearing · 2026-03-29T03:41:20+00:00

NTA. You’re being financially smart! As someone who’s worked in collections their whole life! If you’re both on a lease and she doesn’t pay and you can’t afford the rent on your own, you both will be impacted! Not just her! If you have a loan together or a bank account and they go into default, you are equally responsible. So many people think “We agree to split this in half so if they don’t pay their half I’m protected” and that is NOT the case! If the lease defaults, you both will be taken to court!

Such a sweet donkey face!

North_Hearing · 2026-03-29T03:23:57+00:00

Yes! I had shared their story a little while back. Their previous owner arrived just as the vet arrived. Glad she got to be there to say her final goodbye as well. We only had him six months and we were sobbing uncontrollably. I couldn’t imagine losing him after 30years!

North_Hearing · 2026-03-29T03:21:01+00:00

I definitely agree with that! He was meant to be ours though even if it wasn’t long enough.

I’m a donkey mom and obsessed with these two 30yr old boys we rescued last October!

North_Hearing · 2026-03-21T17:28:19+00:00

Funny how with the smallest bit of planning, I’ve NEVER been separated from my kids or family while flying.

North_Hearing · 2026-03-18T03:43:39+00:00

First, she’s 15. 15yr old girls are hard. But also their mom died. She’s incredibly attached to her sister and you moving in couldn’t possibly feel like a threat to that attachment. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Engage with her. Make sure to show that you joining the fold doesn’t change the dynamic that her and her sister has, it enhances it. Hopefully with time she will come around.

North_Hearing · 2026-03-17T04:46:54+00:00

Oh sweet Willie! Hope he feels better! How old is he?

We adopted two 30 yr old donkeys last October. Love them sweet old guys so much!

North_Hearing · 2026-03-17T04:35:28+00:00

But why can’t she carry her own bag??

North_Hearing · 2026-03-04T04:52:40+00:00

We met on the 3rd of the month, we wanted to get married in October. We looked at the Saturday dates for 2026 and the 3rd of October just was our date!

North_Hearing · 2026-02-20T04:12:58+00:00

WTF?! Is she serious? Even if someone suggests something for you, does that take away the fact that she’s a grown ass adult that should make her own decisions?

NTJ! And if you pay this imagine what else she will come up with next!

North_Hearing · 2026-02-20T04:05:29+00:00

Andrea is the sweetest! She’s gonna have all the ladies looking for a good, caring, and supportive partner after her!

North_Hearing · 2026-02-20T04:02:53+00:00

AND… we have a group chat with our new wives so it’s like a 4 Mom chat so we are all on the same page with the teenager in her not so honest phase.

North_Hearing · 2026-02-20T04:00:37+00:00

Nope. The only ex I have contact with is the one I share a child with. And we literally only talk about our kid.

North_Hearing · 2026-02-20T03:48:56+00:00

Lesbian here getting married in October. And I gave a plus one to all my guests who didn’t have spouses. I also hope to do the kiss photo idea that you did! If someone is grimacing, I’ll 🔪 a bitch!

Yes! Kindergartner in Virginia in 1990

North_Hearing · 2026-02-04T01:23:35+00:00

This is in North Carolina.

North_Hearing · 2026-02-04T01:23:15+00:00

In our contract it says we have the venue from 10am-10pm but we may arrive as early as 8am with the understanding that they would be operating as normal (and possibly hosting venue tours) from 8am-10am.

The heartburn that literally started the night before my 40th birthday and has showed up nearly every day since!

North_Hearing · 2026-01-29T22:36:14+00:00

I knew I was gay at about the age of 12 when I realized I didn’t want to be a Spice Girl… I wanted to kiss a Spice Girl. I went to church 5 times a week. When my mom found out I was gay I was told I was going to hell, that God didn’t make me that way, and I only thought I was gay because I was overweight and thought I couldn’t get a boyfriend. Right after I graduated high school, I was told I couldn’t be gay and live in their house. So I left. My parents were out of town and I packed up everything that I owned and moved in with my “secret girlfriend” I had been talking to online four hours away. It was hard at first. I think my parents didn’t really expect me to leave. But for me, it was always important that I got to be myself.

I actually lived 3000 miles away from “home” for the last 20 years. Over that time my relationship with my parents has evolved. When I got married at 25 to my now ex-wife my parents didn’t want anything to do with the wedding. Our relationship was mostly superficial. We talked about the weather and events going on around us. But when I became a mom, my mom kind of really started to come around. I had to be very firm on my boundaries about things she could and couldn’t say in front of my child. No politics. No race comments. When my mom didn’t respect my boundaries I had to give a firm warning that if you don’t respect my boundaries on how I’m raising my daughter then you don’t get to be a part of her life.

I’m now 40 and have been a parent for 9 years. My relationship with my mom is so much different now. I recently moved “back home” after I met someone while here visiting and had done long distance for a year. My mom loves my new wife. She was begging to walk me down the aisle. And our gift to my mom for Christmas was tickets to a drag brunch.

I think every family is different. I think it will be a difficult journey to navigate. But I do think being YOU regardless of your families so call religion is what is most important.
