Yesterday the Occupational Therapist came and made a splint for me. It has been a disaster. It offers no support to my leg, causes me immense pain and at the same time, the pain management team are taking pain meds away from me.
I can't sleep, eat or think. They are refusing to do anything to help. The nurses treat me like my presence here is an inconvenience to them, which makes it all the more difficult to cope with this saga. I've tried my best to keep my chin up, but when the pain has me in tears, and it has been going on for days, and the nursing staff response is of course it hurts, you have a leg full of metal pins, I think about how i might give up. How I might escape this torture.
