Doctor Update

I just realized that I actually never updated about the doctor appointment earlier this week. Ok, so I tore my calf muscle- I already knew that, but it is a much worse injury than the previous time (also something that I already knew). What I didn't expect was to be sent over to have an ultrasound done to make sure that I did not have a blood clot. Thankfully, I did not.

What wasn't good news was that my leg is still too tight/sore/swollen for being as far out from the injury happening, so I have to see an orthopedist next Wednesday. The doctor that I saw hinted that there was something else going on because my muscles shouldn't just be tearing like they are, but he told me that I would have to see what ortho says. After talking to my mom, she reminded me of when I tore the ligament in my ankle so bad when I was 6 simply walking up some stairs at school. Maybe I have just always had easily shreddible muscles??? Leave it to me, I guess.

Anywho, I feel very helpless and useless. Scott has been awesome. Today has been very difficult because Ethan is now out of school. He is mad at me for being injured and he is being a tad defiant. I think it's kind of smart of him, actually...I mean, it's not like I can run after him! Lil' stinker!!!

I have been able to get Ethan to walk to his chair for meals and I can lift him out of his chair, I just cannot carry him anywhere. It really, really, REALLY sucks. This is when it is horrible living away from family. I could really use my Mom right now.

I am also very shaky. I cannot describe it really. I thought it was the Vicodin that I took initially, but I have not taken that since day one of injury and I still have these shakes in my hands. Very weird. I think that I need to remind my body that I am only in my early 30's and should not be going through all of this junk!!!
