Sorry, I know there are worse off people but I'm just so FRUSTRATED! I am not good on box rest, I may take up weaving, or crib biting.

I'm already mentally box walking.

I know the weather is foul, and I'm not missing much, I know my youngster will wait for me, I know it's not the end of the world....but I'm just so so SO desperate to get on and ride, if the end of this was in sight I could probably cope, but it's not, I'm still pretty badly disabled (for want of a more appropriate word?!) and not seeing enough progress.

AAAAAAARGH! If ever I find the little pillock that did this to me, I'm gonna neecap HIM, see how HE likes it.
 
Never fully better :(

Chellebean - Some random drunken idiot, on a works night out, thought it would be HILARIOUS to knock us all over on the dance floor....and in the process I got kicked in the knee, which fully dislocated, seered the patella from the small tendons, fractured it in one place and I have 5 places, in bone and cartilage, of edema that will take a LONG time to heal and will never be fully right.

Am facing the possibility of a full knee replacement op in 8 weeks if it doesn't heal well enough.
 
If you have to have a knee replacement it's not the end of the world. I know you are quite young but the replacements are so much better now. OK I'm getting on a bit (lot) but honestly I don't even think about my metal knee anymore, I have fantastic bend, can ride the horse and bike and do a job involving a huge amount of walking with absolutely no problem and the best bit is no pain! :)
 
Nah, you're not self pitying, unrelenting pain does your head in eventually and not knowing exactly how things are going to turn out doen't help either! Hopefully your knee will get better without the surgery though, 8 weeks can make a huge difference!
 
I totally understand where you are coming from. I had swine flu in December, was rushed to hospital after collapsing and spent ten days on life support. I know I am very very lucky to still be alive,( they told my OH to be prepared) but I am so frustrated at the things I still can't do. I am still quite weak on my left side and have the shakes too. Doc is hoping it'll all clear up in time, but I want to be grooming and riding now!
Our family motto is 'It can always be worse' which I keep reminding myself now. It's true, it could be, so chin up, remember that you are not alone! I can understand you being angry tho, some silly pillock arsing about and putting you through this. Definitely deserves to be kneecapped!!
 
Jees poor you, just kneecap the silly bugger that started it, that should make you feel better. Everyone goes stir crazy when inmoble, just thing about the poor bloody horses that are confind to the boxrest in stables, at lest you can read watch tv ect:-
