I broke my ankle little over two years ago, my ankle healed, my bones didn’t healed right, I was seeing a specialist for my foot, my referral to the doctor expired, I didn’t get a new. Everything was tooooo much for me back then, I guess I was scared that I needed another surgery. I think I damaged my other foot when my ankle was broken, I had to walk on my other leg. I was born with weak muscles, cuz of my Cerebral Pasly, I could not walk until I was 3 years old. I’m more scared of going to the doctor, cuz of the COVID. I saw one of my old post when I could do more, go for a walk, go to the gym, exercise alot, bring very active & cleaning my apartment. It bought tears to my eyes on what I cannot do anymore, changes are hard. I used to walk around 15 - 20 blocks to lose weight. I’m still sad, I don’t want cry anymore, I will fog up my glasses.

:( I'm sorry kitty for what you are going through. It's very depressing to watch your abilities disappear due to chronic health conditions and it isn't fair. I used to love exercising as well until my health took that from me and all my progress with it so I know what it's like. I would still suggest seeing the doctor about your leg. They keep the COVID patients separate from the rest of the patients who have everyday problems that are unrelated to COVID though any surgeries might be delayed. If you ever need to use the ER, though call ahead if you can. (((hugs)))
