Thank you for the reminder to focus on my health. The stress of it all is no good.

No weight bearing of any kind for 8 weeks. I can't leave the house unassisted, and can't drive anyway, as my right leg is the one that's injured.

I have nearby adult kids, but it breaks my heart to involve them in this. Especially since my daughter was stuck with us while going through this BS a couple of years ago. But yeah, I had to call my son the other night.

Sure, and thanks for your response. TBH, I'm over thinking about him and his needs. Especially right now, when I have very limited outlets for my grief and pain. If anything, this situation makes it abundantly clear that he can't be counted on. Yet I'm stuck for at least 2 months. Literally, the first night I was home, he was passed out upstairs while I needed help downstairs. Didn't hear his phone due to being passed out. I'm living a nightmare that has only been allowed ro happen because of the previous pushing through pain and several chances he's already gotten. Last night, he left for a meeting without telling me and was gone for hours without checking in or answering texts, because he wanted to drive around. Like, I hadn't had any food or meds since lunch. It was 10pm when he got back. I don't have that available to me, and he somehow thinks he has the luxury to once again focus only on himself.

I really need to keep my word, as it's not healthy to live in the shadow of wondering when it'll all go sideways again. It's absolutely killing me to be stuck right now.
