what a shit holiday season.
it started out just fine. christmas day was fun with my family and i got absolutely spoiled.
then my parents' dog needed emergency surgery for a twisted stomach on boxing day.
then i got into a single vehicle accident on my way to a call that night. i hit the ditch hard and flipped onto my passenger side. my car had no power and i had to be rescued by police and firefighters. i fractured my ankle. my car is a write-off.
then dora didn't make it home. she died at the vet clinic saturday morning.
i had surgery on my ankle saturday afternoon.
my amazing family has been taking care of me, but it's hard. i'm frustrated and feeling useless.
i'm staying at my mom's because it's easier to get around, and she is around to help me out. sophie came with me, and i feel like an asshole bringing her into their home so soon after they lost their own dog, but the alternative is that she's home in her crate while josh works.
josh feels like a failure because he's not the one looking after me right now, but i don't see it that way at all. he has to work, i understand that. mom's house is just laid out better for someone who can't weight-bear and sucks at crutches.
work has been great about the whole thing, and got the ball rolling right away for a workman's compensation claim (because i was on the clock when i had my accident).
on top of everything josh and i both have killer head colds, which doesn't help anything.
ugh. i'm just over this whole thing already.

Wow. I am so sorry about all of that. It is so difficult to lose a pet. I feel for your parents. :/ I hope your ankle heals quickly. Thank goodness you're okay other than that. Cars can be replaced.

it's been really hard. my stepdad has taken it REALLY hard, and i don't know how to help him. like i said, i feel like a jerk bringing my dog into their home so soon after they lost theirs - he usually loves sophie but hardly wants anything to do with her right now. it's hard for him to even take her outside, it just makes him sad.

That makes me feel so bad. I hope the hurt lessens for everyone soon. I love pets but losing them makes me think I don't want them anymore. It's so hard.

How miserable for you and your family! What does recovery period look like? I'm glad work is on top of things.

i'm looking at a minimum of 6 weeks non-weight-bearing. i have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon next week, so hopefully he can give me a little more information then. i'm guessing that's when he'll take my bandages off, remove my sutures, and hopefully put me in the aircast.

*hugs* but things are getting better already. If it makes you feel any better, I had a shit holiday season too.

Holy shit, that truly was an awful day. Glad you're ok, despite the ankle. Also glad work isn't trying to screw around by saying you weren't on the clock yet, and so on. That's always reassuring, on top of being able to get into surgery so quickly. Plus not having to deal with a ridiculous bill on top of all this.

But I'm really sorry to hear about Dora. She seemed like such an awesome dog. It's nice that they're willing to help take care of you on top of all this, but I'd feel like an ass as well. I'm sure it hurts them deeply, but as dog lovers, they'd understand that it's better than Sophie being alone in a crate all day.

Hopefully things start looking up soon, and next year's holiday season is much, much better.
