Thank you all for the warm welcome! This process has been so frustrating and hard for me and my family and COMPLETELY LIFE CHANGING. And it is that part that people on the outside don't get at all. The total life changing part of it is what bothers me the most. You break a leg, it hurts and you suffer through the casting and possible surgical repair and healing for a few months. But you can work around it, and it is one part of your body affected. Your brain RUNS your body, RUNS your life and it needs rest to heal but you can't force it to just shut down and heal faster. Sorry today I'm Debbie Downer, hot tired and frustrated. But i think finding this forum is going to really help me not feel so isolated.
