what do u have?Let me moan some too!
So, here I am stuck in my house after being in hospital all month. My legs aren't working. I can shuffle to the bathroom and back, to the kitchen and back. I took a short walk down the driveway but it was too much for me. I became light-headed and had to sit down. I do my physiotherapy exercises in bed. I am truly exhausted after doing 10 leg-lifts. I need to be supervised in the bath in case my blood pressure drops to the point where I pass out and drown. I feel like a little child which needs to be watched all the time. My husband says having me around is like having a little child - when you hear nothing you can be sure all hell is breaking loose. As long as he hears me huffing and puffing he knows I'm alive, but if there are a few moments of silence he goes into paranoia mode because I'm probably up to something.
I don't know when I will be able to return to work again. I haven't worked in a month, which means I've had no income for a month. This is the tough part. I'm not sick enough to be in hospital, but I'm not well enough to be at work. Unfortunately I will have to wait this out and there is no telling how long it will take until I have recovered, nobody knows to what extent recovery will take place, and what strange symptoms will remain permanent.
At the moment I am stuck in limbo.
Mentally I'm there for it, but the body just isn't as cooperative as I would like it to be. Patience.......
