I have ordered what I will order, at least for now. Before going to something like a walker or even knee scooter, I may attempt a cane. The problem with canes is the problem with else, often too short. Hmm, the one cane, so far, I have seen, which can handle 6'6" and 300 comes in at about what the knee scooter would price to. But, would be much more maneuverable in tight areas. Like... my house with too many boxes? Yes.
I haven't gotten back upstairs because, the efforts so far have been very difficult. Nausea is coming and going, and waves of pain. The painkillers are helping, but just some. The effects of the pain aren't shielded, just some of the pain. I don't want to push, and going into shock. I'm right on the edge.
I did cancel events today. I just won't be able to walk. Not far. Drive? I think so. I won't be to the store in a while. Thankfully that has been managed for a few weeks. By then, hopefully, I have at least a boot, maybe a cane if I go that way, and some stability. Or can use the cart as my walker replacement.
Wrapping the foot helps. Though I will probably need to take it off, from time to time. Which, is all good. The shower helped a lot, but was a bit dangerous. Getting in and out, even just standing. Terrifying, at times. If I tipped in the wrong direction, at the wrong time, I could end up flat on my face, or worse. At least I have a way up and down the stairs that is... safer.
Ugh. I may try to get some food in, to combat the nausea. Never sure if that is the best choice. Usually a bit of food helps. Usually. I'll keep the waste basket near the bed, just in case that was a bad call. Wow, I really haven't hurt this badly in a very long time, from simple physical. Internals have hurt pretty bad, but that is spread out, and hasn't been all that frequent or recent. As medicine starts waning, that'll be back. Just... not yet.
All good. A bit to eat, a bit of time to see if it's going to stay down, then I'll figure things out from there. Later or much later.
