Hired help while pretty much bed bound? Need laundry and possible food prep. Am becoming very disabled awaiting care.
My friend is driving me to my ortho tomorrow. I am so done with this, I made an appointment to consult for surgery. I’m awaiting my second injection which was delayed because they didn’t send the correct patient information over?!?!!? I’m so upset. It’s now been delayed over a month. As of Monday I can barely stand. Bearing weight on my left leg is a no go. Surprisingly I can sit this round. Before my first injection I could stand up straight but had a limp but could not sit. I desperately need someone who could help. Today I think I exerted myself when I crawled to the kitchen for each meal and attempted to stand with support from the counter to reach things and it hurt like a bitch. I’m so numb at this point. I have been dealing with intense pain since August with 6 weeks of mild pain after an injection mid October that was an absolute godsend of a relief. I can’t believe I am asking for help to do these things— I didn’t think it would come to this. I’m upset but also just so fucking over all of this. I can’t believe humans have to suffer this long with such advancements in the medical world. Before you ask in on duloxetine, gabapentin and meloxicam and have complete aquatic therapy, physical therapy, been to the chiropractor and massage. At this point I’m going to become religious again and ask for a priests blessing because what the fuck am I doing crawling around to get to the toilet. Oh yeah, I’m TWENTY SEVEN YEARS OLD. Not overweight. 140lbs, 5’6”. But I am positive for being fucking sad and frustrated and SO desperate. My dignity is out the window. Going to UP my therapy to twice a week. Brb while I crawl to my bathroom to try to brush my teeth before bed because what the fuck is life right now. Fuck insurance. Fuck this healthcare system. I’m about to quit being a nurse after 4 yrs because there is no saving this mess.
Anyway………….. anyone know where I can hire help????
