Thanks everyone. I'm feeling much better, though my ribs still ache something fierce. I've been told I'm lucky I didn't break my wrists with the way I landed and I can't imagine dealing with that. Ugh. I'm not good at resting and being patient with myself, it turns out. I wake up feeling pretty good, haul a few boxes about at work and immediately regret it.
I am so sorry! That sounds so painful. I hope you feel better soon!
Offering gentle hugs if you can stand them. I hope you let yourself heal! You come first!
I can totally feel that hug. Thank you. Since my mom passed away I went from getting hugs many times a day to next to nothing. I needed that. I went back to a different doctor and he confirmed I managed to get hairline fractures on one fingers on my left hand and either a torn muscle or yet another hairline fracture on the rib near my scapula. I'm trying to be patient and gentle with myself, but I'm so over this.
I'm really sorry to hear that, man. No one is ever going to get mad at you for being a little fed up with back-to-back life crisis. If it makes you feel any better, this year has been one of the hardest for me. Mental health and life changes wise. I can't give you any advice that could instantly fix it but just take one step at a time, let yourself grief. Not just for the loses but for yourself as well.
*Extra hugs* I'm so sorry. I hate the 'hug short' feeling even for a little bit. My family is not as big on hugs as I am, so I usually rely on my friends, but I haven't been able to get out lately. My mom's sick, so I've been overwhelmed helping her. I'm so sorry you lost yours. I'm not sure what I'll do when that happens.
Oh goodness, I'm glad you're okay at least.
