You’ve been through a lot, brother. Keep the faith. And rejoice in what you have! We appreciate you, bud.

Had a nerve acting up in my hip for almost a month after overdoing some power cleans, which kept me from moving about and I have to say I have never been so scared. I feared it wouldn't go away. Absolutely terrifying.

Hang in there man. You'll get past it. :clinkingbeer:

A week in....10 more days until post op. Then I can get out of this bulky splint thing and finally into a boot and I can scratch this fucking itch I've been dealing with that I just can't reach.

Get better, Juggs. I've prayed for you that your leg and nerve endings will be completely healed! I don't want to see that your new user name has been changed to hop-a-long!

One week to go until I get this fuckin thing off my leg and move to a walking boot with some weight.

Bring stuck inside this house is making me stir crazy.

I tried to walk a bit with crutches today...my entire foot started tingling like it was asleep and now it hurts. Haha whoops. Ibuprofen for the win baby!

Few months of physical therapy and I should be ready to run a race...I mean...a short one cause I'm old and fat

I know it's going to suck for a bit, Juggs, and that's perfectly understandable. You have any sedentary hobbies? Video games? Drawing? Writing? Listening to music, even? Stuff that doesn't involve your foot, I mean.

That stuff helps keep your mind off of your foot, and in turn, doesn't hurt when you try to do them. It'll be a long week, but it'll turn out okay if you just keep the foot safe inside of the cast. Casts suck, not gonna lie, but keeping your mind distracted from them is by far the best remedy in the meantime.

I've been playing a whole lot of guitar.

Playing a whole lot of RDR2

Watching way too much Instagram. I deactivated my other socials....too toxic at the moment for my peace of mind.

Spending a lot more time here, chatting. Just getting by. Thanks for responding @Memento
 
So, not to brag, but I started taking unassisted steps yesterday. It feels so nice to be mobile. It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it was gonna. I obviously get the pain from the incision still, but that very tolerable. Yesterday, I went outside to see my flock for the first time in two weeks. My turkey hen, Pebbles came and sat by me to get her pets. It was very nice and very welcomed. Thank y'all for the healing thoughts! Monday, I switch to a walking boot, out of this "bulky splint" they call it.
 
I have zero feeling in my right pointer finger and thumb... especially the finger print area of those fingers.

Heal brother. Now this crick in my neck the last couple of days doesn’t seem so bad after all. Rest and relax so you can enjoy this big victory over the Eagles!
