Welp. She\u2019s at it again\u2026 No, she didn\u2019t break her hip again. This time only her big toe. Normally this might be a big deal, but for her of course it is. Being that it\u2019s a big toe it can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t be \u201cbuddy taped\u201d anyway so that means a trip to the ortho to talk about a cast. On one hand, maybe they can make a strong walking cast and she\u2019ll actually be able to walk better with it than she has been with her AFO. On the other hand (which is how I\u2019m leaning), she\u2019ll end up putting no weight on it, will stay in her wheelchair, do very little therapy, and will continue to weaken. Since she left Heritage I have already seen a huge decline physically \u2013 I still actually blame that on the med change.<\/p>\n
Regardless, this is where we are now\u2026 She insists that she wasn\u2019t doing anything wrong and that it \u201cjust happened\u201d. She said that she definitely was not trying to get out of bed because she knows how much trouble she\u2019ll be in. She was just sitting on the side of the bed. Which if you think about it, is still a huge no-no. I told her that she should not be putting her legs off the side of the bed. Because why?? Because she could take a header and injure herself! It\u2019s to the point now where I can choose to spell out literally everything she can and can\u2019t do. Don\u2019t bend over. Don\u2019t sit on the edge of anything by yourself. Don\u2019t reach for anything. Make sure you lock your chair\u2026. What kind of life is that? For either side?? Or I can just wait and see what happens. Sadly, this is where I am today. It doesn\u2019t matter how many times or how often we cry, beg, and plead with her to be safe. She does what she\u2019s going to do. Even something as innocent as sitting on the side of her bed is very dangerous. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m waiting to see if she\u2019s able to get in to see her ortho to check out her foot. Too bad she couldn\u2019t wait another week to do this \u2013 we already have an appointment scheduled on the 16th with the same guy for her hip follow up. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ll post an update. Hopefully nothing else until her doctor\u2019s appointment but even I can\u2019t put money on that\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
