Living alone when nothing is physically wrong... fantastic. Living alone with two bad legs... not so great. Left leg has the giant scrape on it, which now has a scab on it so tight, I can't bend it and right leg has the damaged knee which is swollen so bad it's twice the size of my normal leg.
I got stuck on the damn couch, nearly missed the toilet to pee, too much pain to stop at the store for dinner, and left my freaking prescriptions for meds AT MY OFFICE IN FT. MYERS, which is a measly 40 miles from my FREAKING HOUSE!!!
OUCH. OUCH. OUCH.
There, I feel better. It took way more energy than I thought I had to extract myself from the couch. My normal knee injury strategy is to throw myself to the floor and pull myself up on something using the good leg. It would have worked if it weren't for the gaping hole on the "good leg". So after throwing myself to the floor and laying there for 15 mins sending text messages to everyone I knew, I finally came up with a strategy to get myself off the floor.
I want a twix bar
So, the part that pisses me off the most, is ex pseudo-roommate now only lives a mere 300 feet away and I sent a text to her, a mutual friend, and the orphan, and the response I got was "come over here". ***? Now, normally, I would just walk over there, but I can't do that. I can barely tolerate the movement on crutches and to get to my car I have to walk across the lawn, on crutches, and then I have to pull myself into my SUV, on crutches, then I have to drive the car, which hurts like hell since it's my right knee that is injured, then I have to park, which may not be close to their door, and then walk to their unit, on crutches. Meanwhile, there are 3 able bodied people, ages 12-20, telling me to come to them. Holy crap! It was so nice of them to check on me to make sure I didn't need anything or if they could do anything. I took care of these people for 6 months and asked nothing in return. The least they could do is answer my damn text with a cry for help in sincerity, not with a "you come over here"
Wow, I'm pissed.
