Wish me luck! Tomorrow, my husband goes back to work, the oldest starts school and extracurriculars, and I'm left alone with two toddlers and a broken arm. When they cast it, I even cheered that it was my left hand. You know, I've already managed packing and moving around using just one hand, but right now with these little tornadoes, I'm completely helpless! I can't wash them, get them out of their chairs, dress or undress them—they're spinning and screaming. We won't be able to go out; pushing a double stroller with one hand is a whole different story. If I just walk alongside it, sure, but curbs, narrow passages, and ramps are no longer within my reach. Anyone who's been through a fracture, how long did the pain last? It's been almost two weeks, sparks flying from my eyes at any awkward movement, and if the kids accidentally grab my hand...
This situation is surreal. The family downstairs has four kids, and apparently, they're noisy or som…

To a friend with a broken leg, she went into the garden beds a week later, had her cast removed three weeks later, and recovered about a month later.

anzhelika danilova Here, I've also seen people with fractures who are fine and I can't understand why I'm considered disabled? I literally can't hold anything in my hand and damn, it hurts so much that I wake up at night from the pain...

Vedeneva Yuliya She's ready, but because of the little one, we're not driving yet. She'll only go next year.

Vedeneva Yuliya My little one has some hearing issues, so it's important he doesn't get sick often.

Vedeneva Yuliya Understood. But illnesses can also come from your husband or older child.

anzhelika danilova Could it be psychosomatic? Bone pain can also come from your spine, maybe that's what's causing the pain?

Vedeneva Yuliya Yes, so if possible, we reduce the chances. The first year in kindergarten is hell, I've been through it, so my youngest is the priority. And honestly, I really don't like our kindergarten.

anzhelika danilova I think I'm stable. The pain is specifically at the fracture site, there's a huge bruise, and it hurts like pressing on a bruise, only sharper.

I broke my ankle and I wrote to you that it didn't hurt at all until they put the cast on. I couldn't stand it for less than a week, so I went to an appointment with the head of the department, and even he said, "Take it off, damn it, let's wear a brace instead." And amazingly, the pain was gone))) I suspect it's because the cast was heavy, and any turn or awkward movement caused pain. I also felt helpless, completely helpless. Then my son got a job as a sociologist and couldn't meet his quota. So I went for walks in the park with him to conduct surveys) Hobbling))) The only thing was, my leg was terribly swollen at first. But after a month, I was already running. Everything healed and healed quickly

anzhelika danilova Maybe you just have a high pain sensitivity, that's why you feel it that way. It should get better now, I've already carried for half the time, only 2 more weeks to go

Oh dear. That sounds tough.
I remember my grandma broke her arm, and everyone had scattered. So my sister and I moved in with her for that time. We were still in school then. We became her hands.
And here you have two little ones and no help 😱

Vedeneva Yuliya My youngest didn't get sick from my son; she was born, and then he started kindergarten.

anzhelika danilova My cast has been extended to 6 weeks because I'm breastfeeding, which slows down the healing process... and they usually prescribe pills, but I can't take any medication... we'll get through this)))

anzhelika danilova Did you get an ultrasound recently? Is there no displacement? Why does it hurt.
