Do what they tell you, to recover. The surgeon looks bad if you get a bad outcome, so they’ve truly got your best interest at heart. Don’t cut corners!
Yeah, you might need to set up some ongoing help with your pets until you are firmly back on your feet. You will start to be able to do stuff but still need someone to “spot” you in case a pet bowls you over or gets underfoot and you lose balance.
My parents are helping me with my pets. I’ll be staying with them with my dogs after my surgery. My mom will be stopping by mynhouse twice a day to care for my ducks and check on my cats. My dogs (especially my beagle) love trying to make me feel better, so I expect them to give me so much attention when we are reunited. I already have a great support system. My work is even being hella supportive even though I’ll be out for a while. All of the people in charge have texted me to see how I’m doing.
Terrible. The pain is so bad that morphine isn’t even taking the edge off. I’m waiting to see if I can have something different for the pain. I haven’t had surgery yet either. Not looking forward to how I’ll be feeling after that.
Actually you might feel a little better after the surgery. Your body knows the bones aren’t in their right places, everything that connects them with the rest of you is stretched wrong and screaming with every movement. Even though the surgery will cut some things, it will realign and stabilize things as well so they can start to calm down.
I’m hoping that the surgery will fix the pain a bit. I broke off the bone in the back of my ankle and I feel it moving around with each movement. It SUCKS.

I don’t plan on cutting corners. Gotta recover so my pets don’t suffer.

Glad to hear it!
So, I’m up at 4 am with my “I’m not sleepy” kitten, how are you doing?
