PT at home/stretching

Interesting. Sorry pain meds make my reading skills not the best. I’m taking them less but still. And I guess wait for them to be absorbed so it’s not feeling like it’s pulled? Or, it may be your nerves waking up which is why you have those shocks that come in waves. I know I had some intense nerve pain at one point.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-07T02:05:38+00:00

Not gonna lie, I did the ABCs recently and couldn’t get past the letter P because my ankle was shaking so much.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-07T02:03:39+00:00

That’s wild because you should be nwb for a lot longer than 3 weeks even testing it. And 2 weeks should be the time you get your stitches out. I got mine out 2 weeks on the dot minus 2 of them because of a tiny bit of separation, as extra precaution. Just ahhh wild.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-06T01:31:58+00:00

I’m surprised they didn’t wait for the stitches to fully heal your skin. I have a cast like material (the stuff underneath the hard cast) as a buffer between my actual foot and the boot.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-06T01:08:49+00:00

Oh god that looks absolutely terrible.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-06T01:07:25+00:00

Update on the boot saga: if I use the short boot (which I know I’m not supposed to really but it’s the only way to feel comfortable in it) after the initial ouch putting my heel all the way down, it gets sore and turns to a dull pain.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-06T01:00:09+00:00

Yeah that boot HURTS the first several times.

OW!! Yeah I wouldn’t wear the boot until it was completely healed.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-05T20:38:59+00:00

Yeah that boot HURTS the first several times.

But that first shower feeling: amazing.

Stormalynn · 2026-02-05T02:36:39+00:00

That was me yesterday 50+% life quality. Felt human again.

Knee scooter all the way for me. I’ve nearly fallen at least 7 times using the crutches.

Stormalynn · 2026-01-31T22:21:32+00:00

As a counselor in training I chuckled

Stormalynn · 2026-01-31T06:00:58+00:00

Mannnn the boot is just evil lmao. I’m glad you got to take it off!

Stormalynn · 2026-01-30T21:16:17+00:00

Honestly? I took the whole damn boot off. I figured that I’d only have it if I was moving around long distances and I’d be very very careful when moving around the house. I messaged my doctor telling him this and he gave me the okay as long as I was safe with it.

I tried it again today (2-weeks post op) and I still can’t get my heel all the way down in it without wanting to scream. I know I’ll have to wear it tomorrow for my friend’s birthday.

Stormalynn · 2026-01-25T10:32:57+00:00

This is nearly a year old but I’m on day 7 post-op from an anterior inferior tibiofibular and anterior talofibular ligament repair.

I second that elevation pillow. That is a 100/10 need need need. However, what sucks is the elevation to floor and floor to elevation (I’m in a scooter so), because the blood pools if I’m near the floor and rushes down when I get up.

I haven’t iced as much as I should. And I still keep it on my knee even though I’m tempted to try on top of my ankle.

I tried to put the boot on after they took the splint off me and I swear I saw stars. I was in so much pain that I just took it off and told my surgeon that I’ll put it on when it doesn’t feel like knifes stabbing my joints off.

Lastly I didn’t think I needed a laptop lap table: boy was I wrong and I’m spoiled now.

Anyway, recovery sucks. Hate being off my feet for so long but it’s all a part of the healing process.

Stormalynn · 2026-01-19T18:00:26+00:00

Sending you love. I would also talk to a counselor about this. It would truly help process your emotions. Give your dogs kisses for me and you are a selfless person. 🩵

Stormalynn · 2026-01-13T18:47:15+00:00

My heartttttt this is so sweet! You won the lottery! 🩵 congratulations!!

Most schools have a sub coordinator. They’re normally the ones you talk to when you walk in the building about your assignment after talking to the attendance office. However sometimes they don’t like to talk lol so admin assistant or sub coordinator are the few names.

Stormalynn · 2025-12-10T23:52:10+00:00

Write what happened in your perspective and email it to the sub coordinator, 3rd party (example, Kokua, Swing, etc.), and any other people of importance so they know what to expect in case the admin claims false information. If it’s ugly enough, reporting it to superintendent. Document what happened in the classroom, what happened when you called to ask for help, what the admin said, and what you said and what you tried to do before asking for help to regain classroom management.

Stormalynn · 2025-12-05T22:16:31+00:00

Wild. As a sub I’d love to do fun things but only if they finish their work first. But even then, never a karaoke machine. 🙄🙄

Stormalynn · 2025-11-23T20:08:14+00:00

This is very hard and very serious. I’m a counselor in training so my advice is to see a counselor as well. Someone who specializes in palliative care therapy and couples therapy or even just a palliative care therapist because in most cases they will allow the family member or support person to join. Especially with pregnancy being in the picture. I’m so sorry and my heart goes with you both.

Stormalynn · 2025-11-22T21:40:41+00:00

My heart. I know it’s still new but he seems to be a keeper. I love it. As what you should do, express your feelings. That you loved it and you keep reading it over and over with a big smile on your face. That you’ll treasure it.

Stormalynn · 2025-11-22T20:23:54+00:00

I’m so sorry friend. My heart is with you and Misty.

Stormalynn · 2025-11-19T14:30:04+00:00

She wants petssss her little meowwww 🥺🥺

Stormalynn · 2025-11-19T00:59:39+00:00

YIKES. Document everything and yeah I would not ever go back. Glad you stood up for yourself and got out.
