Okay this is about to be week 4 of staying home alone with no way to go anywhere. I am going crazy! I can't drive for another couple of weeks at least!

I can ride in a car now but don't have anyone to drive me anywhere!

And not to mention this stupid neckbrace that is driving me really really crazy!

I can't do anything I want! I have so many things I need to do and I have to ask people to take me to do things I want to do alone.. Like take my youngest dd to pick out a pretty dress for her graduation alone and have a special moment with her!

I know I am being really petty but I am sick of this.... I have litteraly been sitting here crying for about an hour because I have to take my dh to pick out a dress for my dd..

If you got this far thank you for listening to me babble.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
I hear you, I would be crazy as well. Neck brace would drive me insane too. Maybe dh could just drop you and your dd off so you could be alone, tell him this is special to you. I am thinking of you and sending hugs. take care. Smile.......

What Brooke said! Could he take you to the mall, and come back later? It must be frustrating! I know, after my c-sections when I couldn't drive for 2 weeks, it drove me crazy!

((((((Tarable))))) Another for having your DH take you and DD shopping if you feel up to it, he can get lost in a "guy" store and you can spend a special time with DD.

((Tarable)) I hope you are feeling better soon.

I think that is why I am going crazy. I am to the point where I only take maybe 2 pain pills a day, one about 2 in the afternoon and one about 11 when I go to bed because sleeping is really uncomfortable with this stupid brace on.

I feel great and I think that is why I want to get out and am so frustrated about not being able to.

And the driving thing is for another 2 to 3 weeks at least!

We are going to go to the mall tomorrow night and he will hang out in a book store and we will go find a dress, I just got upset because my dd was talking about how I did this and that for my older dd's 5th grade graduation 2 years ago.

Thanks for the hugs and support! I don't know what I would do without all of y'all sometimes!

You definitely have my understanding. You don't realize how independent you are till it's taken away from you. I had to depend on someone to drive me everywhere for about two years when I suddenly got sick with an autoimmune disease. I also had to give up grocery shopping, cleaning house, cooking, bathing my kids, etc. You don't think you would miss those things! LOL!

The problem I had was that I was unable to read or focus on a television show, either for several months due to lightheadedness. Now that sucked!

Maybe with the weather shaping up, you'll be able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Do you have a nice swing or lounger? If not, I'd get one. Maybe a change of scenery will help.

I always wished I was like my mil. She can get lost on the internet for hours a day. I never have been able to find enough to interest me more than an hour at a time!

Luvn, I find too much on the internet, sometimes and can't get my butt off the chair! LOL! Some days, though, I read momsview, my dog board, and my email and I'm done, though.

Ugh! I don't know what's it's like to recover from a surgery thing but most of the last year I haven't had a car to drive myself. It is so frustrating and I hate needing other people to accomplish the littlest things, like getting milk. I feel for ya! Hope the next couple of weeks go by quickly for you!

Oh how I feel your pain. Just remember this is temporary, in a few weeks you will be back to your old life.

You can't help the fact you had surgery. Your DD will have to "deal" with it.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Thursday, May 29, 2008 - 10:42 am:

Meant to say, do the best you can.

Oh I know how you feel!! I spent a month in the hospital when i went into premature labor with dd. I got very bored, and was sore from laying in bed, I couldn't even get up to use the bathroom, or take a shower, it was bed baths, and bed pans for me! I had waist length hair that my dh would shampoo for me in a shampoo tray that was laid out on the bed. So I feel for you dear,I hope things get better for you real soon.
