      Hi. Needed unbiased opinion. Im in a boot cause of injury on my foot. Been prescribed a scooter. Were supposed to leave for Cabo this Sunday.I truly don’t know how I can make this trip with my pain and my good leg I’ve had 3 knee surgeries. Getting thru 2 airports too. I haven’t used the scooter yet. I so want to go and not disappoint anyone. But truly don’t want to ruin it for others cause I’m so limited. I feel its just gonna be too much and and as I said I’m in alit of pain. Would you skip the trip?? Everyone is still going which I’m glad.

        Oh Tammie, this is such a hard situation for you! I absolutely understand the pain and limitations and how you can’t even imagine traveling right now. It does seem like too much for your condition. But I’m going to give you a frustrating answer. 🙂

        Whatever decision you make will be the RIGHT decision for you. If you are just too afraid and worried that this trip would be impossible with all you’re going through-then stay back and even more importantly, be at peace with your decision. YOU know yourself better than anyone else. Trust your gut on this. I can’t imagine anyone arguing with you on your decision to be safe and take care of yourself instead.

        On the OTHER HAND- (See? I told you I would frustrate you!) If you can manage the travel with your friends or family’s help and the use of that miraculous scooter, and if your doctor permits you to go and you have pain meds and everything else you need to take care of YOU and your injury… This actually might be wonderful timing! If you can scoot yourself to the poolside or beach or sit on tours or scoot around shops and enjoy the beauty and warmth and fun of Cabo with the people you love… It just might be the very best thing for you to do. I know it’s scary even imagining getting through two airports and all the unknowns and “what if”s with the trip- BUT I’ve always found once I’m in that terrifying situation, it actually isn’t so terrible after all. There is wonderful handicap assistance these days, so I predict the airline and airport will take good care of your needs. Rather than staying home and solely focusing on your injury, CABO would be the very best distraction from your pain!

        So there ya go…

        Stay home and take care of you in the comfort of your safe and secure surroundings so you can heal. This is the easier choice and probably the wisest too.
        OR
        Take a risk and dare to go, seeing a new and beautiful place with people you love- while still being cared for and careful- while you’re healing. It might be the best experience of your life- and I’d hate for you to miss out on that.

        Please let me know what you decide when you can. I KNOW your choice will be the perfect choice for you.

    I’m healing after a fall on the ice in January. I’m having stinging pains ~ it feels like I’m being jabbed with something sharp. I’m all alone & my hubby is in a memory care facility. It’s really been bothering since physical therapy. All I feel like doing is cry! I need a hug!

      Oh, dear Joan, I wish I could hug you!! Please feel my virtual arms wrapped around you now! You poor thing. I hate that you are in so much pain! What does your PT say about your pain? That just doesn’t sound right. Please call your doctor and demand the care you need, so you can heal and fully recover. Did you break anything? Tear any ligaments or tendons? He needs to take a closer look and see what is causing this pain.

      I’m so sorry you are alone. My heart breaks for you. I can only imagine how much you are missing your hubby now. Please stay strong and keep fighting through this difficult recovery- and have the courage to advocate for yourself. And yes, crying is SO needed. I understand. Do you have any friends who can be a support for you? Oh, how I’m praying so. Please reach out to them so you don’t feel so alone. You need caring people to come alongside you right now. I hope and pray your pain dissipates and you start feeling hopeful. Please keep me updated, as you can.

    I am 4 months post op ankle surgery and found your article from 2015 about 20 things to know. Thank you so much for making me laugh. I have been so down about not being able to walk on these beautiful autumn days we are having here in CA. My doctors say it takes time but I feel like I’ve put in enough time with this already! Hope all is well now with you and thanks again for the encouragement.
    Ps I took off a whole corner rack display at Target with the motorized cart. I laughed heartily❤️

      Oh, Joan, I’m SO glad you found my blog and it helped encourage you! I remember the hardest thing was missing my walks! I promise that someday you WILL be able to have them back in your life again. And girl, I am laughing so hard about you taking out the whole corner rack display at Target! You are my PEOPLE! LOL

      Hang in there, new friend. Healing ALWAYS takes more time than we think. It was a full year before I was fully recovered. Try to get outside as much as possible to enjoy the weather, despite not being able to walk in it. And be patient with yourself, be kind and gracious and tender with your limitations. In time, you WILL be able to do all you want to do. I promise. XOXO
