Yeehaw, JayJay! I'm so glad you came through and are on the mend! From what I've heard, PT can be a grind so feel free to cuss, cry and pitch technicolor hissy fits. Might as well milk the hell out of being sick because it'd just be a waste of natural resources.
Hang in there, friend. We're pullin' for ya.

So glad to hear you're starting to recover. I'll keep pulling for you!
[I feel like I'm partway to a "pulling for you" joke, but we don't know exactly know each other. Also, I'm too lazy to actually finish the joke. Something something something handjob, that's going to have to do.]

Oh my goodness, Jayjay. You and I haven't interacted before (I'm pretty sure), but I hope you won't mind me saying that I'm very, very sorry to hear your news. I'm so, so sorry that you lost your foot. I just can't imagine.
I wish you all the best, and it already seems to me that you're the sort of person who'll be able to deal with this very successfully, but still, man... I'm so very, very sorry.

At least you've got the rules of recovery memorized, JayJay.

 One of our IT guys had to get a prosthetic leg a few years ago, and when I saw him after his rehab and stuff it was like night and day. Before he could barely hobble around with a walker and after he was moving around so well you'd never know he had a fake leg. So keep up with the sadistic therapy, it's worth it!

URT's post sounds like good advice to me, but then again I'm not the one going through therapy. So feel free to drop into the minirant thread and curse your physical therapist all you want.

Yikes, jayjay. So, okay. I'm on board with doing what your terrorist tells you, opening up the mother of all pit threads, and kicking Giraffe AND Jeff in the yarbles.

Heh...yes, therapy is TOUGH! I come away from both sessions feeling like I just ran a marathon. But I can't bitch about my therapists...they're excellent at what they do and since I'm completely on board with "work me like a mill horse if it'll get me better at living with this little lack", I can't complain about that, either. It feels a lot better to be exhausted in the service of getting better than it would to be sitting in this wheelchair for the rest of my life.
Geez, does everyone become that much of a glurge-spurting high-on-life clone when they go through a major trauma like this?

Yep. After his second near death experience* my brother turned into such a pollyanna he was annoying to be around for a good year. At least he was around to be annoying.

And you won't always feel so um, charitable towards your therapists. Is ok-just vent here.
One day at a time. And allow yourself to grieve the loss of your foot.

Feel free to vent to us anytime, or just punch Fenris, whichever feels right.
