Thursday whine

[tribute17]

So I've been MIA which some may or may not have noticed but I had an awful weekend. We went to my cousins wedding Nashville and it was a blast. They had this 80s band that dressed upin costumes and everything. It was awesome and p loves dancing. Then it went downhill. I slipped on the stairs at my aunts house and broke my ankle. I broke the tibia, fibula, and one more bone in my ankle. So I went to the ER got it set and the had surgery that night. I'm not going to lie, it freaking hurt. I had a spinal block instead of general anesthesia because I'm pregnant. Then that night there was an ice storm so flights were cancelled until Wednesday morning. On Monday night P got the stomach virus along with everyone else at my aunts house. H got it last night and I'm just waiting for my turn. I hope it bypasses me. We made it home but it has been awful.
Sorry, I know this is just ranting but I had to get it out. I'm in a cast for about 12 weeks. It sucks.

[starfishy]

Omg. That sounds horrible. I really hope you avoid the stomach bug. You've been through too much already.
Can you still work? 12 weeks is sooo long!
I'm so sorry. I wish we were closer so I could help you out.

[jodielyn10]

Oh god, tribute17, that's awful. I'm sorry! Hope the 12 weeks flys by

[laurski81]

OMG. How absolutely terrible! I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. I hope you heal quickly and avoid the stomach bug. Hugs girl!

[summergirl1211]

Oh no! That's awful. I'm so sorry about your ankle. FX you are "lucky" enough to miss out on the stomach bug. You've dealt with enough! Big hugs and I hope everyone feels better soon.

[origamimommy]

Oh no What a week. Get better soon, and I really hope the tummy thing passes you by.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

Oh my gosh, I can't imagine being pregnant with a broken ankle. How awful, I am so sorry. Are you on crutches? (crutches with a toddler and being pregnant? serious nightmare) I hope it heals well. Did you at least get to take a peek at baby while you were in the hospital?

Sorry again, and I really hope the virus skips you, you've been through enough already!

[pinkluna]

Oh no, that sounds awful! Whine all you want! I hope things start looking up soon.

[paddyb]

that is awful! at least the wedding was fun?

[mommymadness]

That sucks!! Sorry you had such a rough week!! Hope you heal quickly!!

[aylafsu1881]

That sounds horrible! I hope the 12 weeks pass by quickly and you miss the bug.

[roo1582]

Oh wow! I'm so sorry to hear you've been through so much!! I hope your ankle heals quickly and you avoid that stomach bug.

[cbear]

Oh no!!! T & Ps for a speedy recovery!!

[bliz1712]

Oh my goodness! Definitely not something you want to happen, especially when you are on vacation and pregnant. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

[junkytrunk]

Oh wow! I can't imagine being in a cast with a toddler running around! Hope you have a speedy recovery and don't get the stomach flu.

[trixi282]

Oh tribute17 that sucks big time! I am so sorry that everything was such a mess after such a fun wedding. So glad that baby is okay though. 12 weeks will be crazy hard with a toddler and being pregnant, but you can do it, hang in there!

I hope you heal quickly!

[irish1213]

Ugh, so sorry! Hoping the weeks fly by and the stomach bug bypasses you!

[bantyrooster]

Hugs!! Ankles are the worst! Def. Top 5 worst ortho surgeries to have. I have been an ortho nurse for 5 years. I can't imagine being pregnant. Glad you hopefully had a good block.

[babywinks]

Oh no this just sounds awful! Hope the stomach bug skips you and your ankle feels better soon.

[zyas]

yikes!!! That's so horrible - I'm so sorry to hear all this. You really have had a bad weekend for sure Crossing my fingers for you that you don't get the flu on top of everything else that has happened.

On the bright side: at least the wedding was fun - and that 80's band sounds awesome

[tribute17]

Thanks everyone. It does suck big time. I'm on crutches for now with no weight on the foot. I don't think I'm out of work for twelve weeks, I sure hope not anyway. Hopefully I can go back next week sometime. I got a wheelchair for work and can teach sitting down. I have to see the ortho first to get a timeline. Luckily my in laws took JP for the night and probably tonight too. H is worn out from the virus so has no energy and I'm no help. I miss him though.

Bantyrooster the doctor said it was about the worst I could do to my ankle. At least there was no nerve damage and too much ligament damage. I do have plates and screws now so that's fun. The doc on call was a foot and ankle specialist so I got lucky with that I guess.

I just want to go back and not slip on the stairs. I think pregnancy definitely contributed because my ligaments are loose and I've been super clumsy lately. So all of you pg ladies, be careful!

[lilahbean13]

Oh that sounds so painful so sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed you don't get the bug!!

[huskiefanuw]

Oh Tribute that's horrible, I hope you heal quicker than they say. I can't imagine crutches while pregnant I would only be up right to pee.

[somethingcleverer]

Wow. That's really crappy. Big hugs! I hope you heal quickly and with minimal pain.

[mightybee]

Oh, wow, how awful! I hope you heal up and are feeling better quickly. Feel free to whine it up. Any update on the stomach bug?

[nursedesi]

I'm sorry you have had such a terrible week. I hope you heal quickly and YH gets over his illness as well.

[rollerrink]

Oh no, no, no! I detest crutches! I'm so sorry you went through all that. I hope it starts to feel better soon & that recovery is smooth. Crap!

[justbeth]

Oh my gosh, that sounds terrible! I can't imagine having surgery while awake that wasn't a c-section with a baby to take your mind off it! After such a terrible weekend I really hope you are able to avoid the stomach bug!

[tribute17]

I wasn't really awake. They gave me pro phenol which kind of knocks you out. I definitely don't remember it. Also no stomach bug yet but we will see. Fingers crossed.

[vanessalc]

That sucks!! Hope the bug skips you. Feel better soon!
