jumped off a bridge years ago and today I was diagnosed with torn ligaments and arthritis in my back because of the bridge incident. no one to blame but myself, consequences of my own actions. life sucks, i wish I could go back in time.

Kinda hate that years of chronic pain has made it second nature to hide and look like I'm functioning as normal when experiencing any pain from quite literally anything. So that even when I'm experiencing more extreme pain, the external clues are mild rather than what they might be if it was someone who has not had chronic pain for the last decade going through it. So if I express that I'm in pain but all I'm showing is mild discomfort, people will naturally assume it's not that bad 💀 This is the story of my goddamn life. I can't even unhide/unmask because it's just part of me now. You'd think people closest to me after all this time would learn to recognise and differentiate my pain from normal levels of pain, but no. People are forgetful, myself included, so I don't mind so much. It only bothers me at times like this. If I'm ever grimacing, that's just my face. If I exhale a little sharply, I'm probably ticked off about something and not actively fighting not to double over. This is lame as hell 😭 The most extreme reaction I might have is a little yelp or just soft crying.

the amount of shenanigans in this household is astounding. i've been here for 2 weeks

Well FUCK.

We safely hike 30 miles together on vacation and then the first week home, Dixie hurts herself.

We took a walk to the school and she jumped up on this concrete bench ((which is very wide! And low!! And she's gone up on a hundred times!!!)). When she was doing her little catwalk, one of her hind legs misstepped off the side and she nearly fell.

I think she minorly sprained or fractured a toe on her other leg correcting and catching herself. The paw is throwing a little heat and has some localized swelling. She's been letting me handle it without complaint.

The good news is, Dixie's hugely dramatic; she got stung by a bee once and acted like she needed amputation. If it was something that needed more than rest, she would likely be completely non weightbearing instead of limping a little.

The bad news is, she real dumb. So she still does ill-advised poop zoomies in the yard, even with her swollen paw. If she thinks I'm getting food or going to go anywhere, she's up and trying to go with me. And she keeps jumping up on the bed or couch instead of resting safely on one of the many dog beds available to her.

I made a little anti inflammatory tea (rosemary, kale, blueberries) to go in her kibble, and she'll get some yogurt with dinner, too. If the swelling and limping are any worse tomorrow, I guess it's the emergency vet for us 😮‍💨
