Week 2

The swelling is going down.

But I can still feel my bones are unstable and are still moving around.

The injury has taken a toll on me mentally. I no longer can take care of my pregnant wife, she has to take care of me now. Seeing how I've worried my parents and her make me feel horrible. Even though, everyday I get a little stronger and can do a lot myself now. It's been hard.

Most nights I cannot sleep, so I read about bone healing. Right now I should be around the first stage where the blood clot stabilizes the fracture and soft callus begins to form.

I'm still extremely tired every day and require naps every couple hours, I don't have much of an appetite either.

It's been extremely hot. My wife has been doing a great job in taking care of me, but today I would give her another scare.

My wife had taken the garbage out. It's was a heat alert out, and she is pregnant. After she did not return I got worried and got dressed and went outside to look for her, I didn't find her, so I decided to walk around our townhouse complex to see if I could find her and get her back inside. This was a mistake. After less than 10 minutes. I had started to get dizzy, so I started walking back. She had returned home to find that I was not there, so she returned outside to look for me. When she found me I was about 100 meters away from our house, as soon as she saw me, I started to stagger. I was going into heat stroke. She ran to me and out my arm around her, I began to hyperventilate, and could barely walk. She got me into the house.... My body was numb every where and my breathing became short and fast. Luckily she knew what to do, she ran and got water and an ice pack and began to cool me down. We almost had to make another trip to the hospital.
