I’m nervous about the surgery tomorrow. Orthopedics doctor said bring crutches, the only med I am supposed to take after midnight is the clonidine.
The surgeon said it’s not going to fix all the pain but a good bit of it.

Modern medicine is quite a thing. You get to participate! Godspeed.
On Thursday I’m getting an infusion for my osteoporosis. That procedure lasts about one hour. Naturally I’m anxious. Realistically, the doctor has been an unfriendly to me, and I’m supposed to trust him? Yep, I am supposed to trust him.

So far day before surgery may have to cancel. My mother in law is very angry and says someone broke a lamp her son’s mother in law gave her. And she is blaming me and my partner mainly me. She said for the pieces of colored glass to be missing then someone cleaned up the mess afterwards. So i May not have a way to and from the hospital.
your mother in law is mean
Call your caseworker. This is the exact kind of abuse she was talking about. Your in laws can’t legally deny you access to necessary medical treatments.
@cbbrown. Also your caseworker may be able to help you with transportation. In some places I heard that if you’re disabled you can get aid for getting to and from the dr and even grocery shopping

My case manager said she can’t be there till noon she has mandatory meetings. I have to be there by nine thirty in the morning. My brother in law talked to her and calmed her down. But now she’s over ever 20 minutes checking the apartment saying different things need done. She wanted us to tackle the closet before my surgery but my partner worked for the last week and only gets one day off and that’s tomorrow. My partner may get the weekend off so we’ll see what happens.
This is abuse. It isn’t okay.

@cbbrown. I think perhaps that mom in law is blaming you for the broken lamp so that can have a reason not to take you to the appointment tomorrow.

I agree with @Ninjastar.
Call your case manager immediately.
This is abusive behavior that should not be tolerated.

I grew up in an alcoholic family. I have a high tolerance for abuse.
Sometimes it is worth it to me to put up with abuse to get a roof over my head.
My current landlord is a dick. But he allows smoking in this building!
Now I haven’t smoked for greater than four years. Based upon that, I could move . . .

She shouldn’t even be in your apartment with how much rent you pay! It’s not her space! It’s yours!
I’m sorry she’s such a piece of ■■■■. I hope you made it to the hospital.

Yeah I made it. I was in surgery for an hour. They removed the plate and four screws. I almost threw up but luckily I didn’t the nurses had sprite soda waiting for me when I woke up.
I got told I can put a good amount of weight on it since the main bone the tibula was unaffected but the fibula will feel weak because of the screw holes.
The doctor said I have to take it easy. But my in laws probably won’t listen.

Make them listen. You could end up in a wheelchair if you don’t listen to your doctor. This is important.

They see it as everyone has pain and you push through that pain or you wither up and die from uselessness.
When I first broke my ankle two years ago they said a day after i broke it that I was just milking it and I was lazy
