I feel low. I've got a lot of pain from this screw sticking out of my ankle bone - it's inhibiting me from stretching, getting more flexible, walking - I don't know if the pain is just part of the process or if this sucker needs to be taken out. I was supposed to have a follow-up with my doctor last Friday but my taxi never showed up and I missed it. Now I have to wait another 2 days to see him on Wednesday.
I start my new job in a week, which is a 20 minute freeway drive from home, so I practiced driving yesterday around town. It went ok, though I was really timid. I'm scared I'll need another surgery soon and it'll mess with my new job. I'm scared I won't be able to get the surgery soon because not enough time has passed for the bones to heal and I'll just have to keep living with this screw. I'm scared I won't get better and regain everything I've lost.
I'm in a funk, obviously.
