I fell and seriouslly hurt my ankle looks as though I'll be down for most of the summer. Which means any plans we had are not going to happen. My b/f works out of town so he's gone all week. My kids are less than helpful to say the least. And since I can barely do anything for myself. My mood is seriouslly suffering any suggestion will be apperciated. Because I don't want to spend my whole summer feeling like this. Please Help me if you can.

I know how you feel about being stuck inside with little to no help. I have two teenagers who fuss if they have to help and I get tired of hearing it, isn't worth the fuss to me. there is only so much tv you can watch, only so many phone calls you can make. I try to keep myself busy by going through things like old drawers that need cleaned out, reading magazines, playing solitaire. boring I know but you'll do what you can to kill time when your bored. keeps you outta trouble that's for sure. there are some days when I don't feel like doing anything though. I have to really work to keep myself from becoming really depressed. hope you find something that works for you.

Check out the "Meditation Tools" Group on DS. They have some good discussions and links to some really neat sites.

teenagers are somethin', aren't they?
I would suggest getting a good hobby so you can do something "fun for you" while you're laid up with your foot. And let the house go as much as is possible for you to do.....it isn't worth the stress. Good luck!

Do you have the resources to hire someone to come in and do some of the housekeeping that you can't do?
Maybe somebody else's teenager who would like to earn a few extra bucks a week... So sorry about your ankle. Hugs, hugs, hugs

Thank you all for the advise. Kindercrazed I love the idea of asking someone else's teenager that would sure get their goat. lol I have been doing better lately my ankle is doing alot better than the doctors said it would thank god. And I'm up and getting around okay not back to normal but good enough to do most things on my own. Thank you all again for taking the time to respond. It is always nice to know someone cares and is thinking of you.

I have nothing to add to the good advice you've already gotten - just wanted to second all the suggestions and let you know that I'm thinking of you. I've been laid up like that and for a couple of days, it's almost nice as you can just rest, but after that it's crazy-making. I'm not the type to just sit around and it drove me crazy.
Gentle hugs and hope for speedy healing!

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
