Miracle recovery from PTSD meds overdose fallout

Community Leadermujicaptsd

It's a miracle.  Just yesterday I was wheelchair bound, but today I went to the store where I bought the wheelchair.  There I bought boots that would support my twisted ankles weakened by neuropathy nerve damage from chronic kidney disease.  The nerve damage in both feet from the knee down resulted from when a psychiatrist over prescribed me Seroquel for my PTSD nightmares.  



But with those boots I bought today I got up out of my wheelchair and pushed myself to walk on my cane.  It really hurt, but after a while I could do it.  I went grocery shopping, if you can believe that.  Then I took a friend to dinner as thanks.  She supported me through this last week of being wheelchair bound by rubbing analgesic cream on my feet every night.  I'm walking!

Yeah, I do have a pulled Achilles tendon bothering me on my left foot, so I went to the store where I bought my wheelchair and bought a protective orthopedic boot. But I can limp around, and that's still way, way, way better than being in a wheelchair. I'm so grateful.

Thanks, pineappleSun. I'm limping like Hopalong Cassidy, but limping's good!

Day before yesterday I was back in my wheelchair for the day because of the added new injury of an Achilles tendon pull, but by yesterday afternoon I was walking again. I only got 2.7km of walking in, not reaching my daily walking goal of 3-5km, but considering I wasn't walking at all the day before, 2.7km was darn good. I'm proud to be up and walking!

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
