I had surgery on my right foot exactly four weeks ago tomorrow. I am not saying it was a mistake to have the surgery done but I am not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. There is still a tremendous amount of pain, I am basically homebound, and a deep depression is starting to set in. The simplest things that you always take for granted are now things that seem like the impossible dream. Something as simple as getting in your car and driving down to the grocery store whenever you need something I cannot do. I have to have someone take me. Walking my dog has become a Herculean task that takes every bit of my strength and energy. Taking a shower requires a two hour rest period and a thirty minute nap after I get out.
My "friends" list is dwindling by the day. Don't et me wrong, my friends are flung all over the globe and I do not expect a visit or anything from each and everyone but a text message to check on me once in a while would be nice. I have not heard from several people that I considered close friends since the day before my surgery. Some of these people I heard from every day. I can't really blame them. Sometimes life gets in the way and not everything goes as planned. I hope they are alright and I hope they are safe. I realize that in my condition I cannot help them but I am always here to listen.
