WEEK 3: Struggling With Independence, iWalk Pain & Christmas Chaos | Broken Heel Recovery

Week 3 of my broken heel (calcaneus fracture) recovery — and honestly, this week has been a lot.
I’ve been trying so hard to be independent, but the reality is… I’m really struggling. The iWalk I hoped would give me freedom has just caused even more pain, and needing help with everything is driving me up the wall.

This week I talk about:

🌿 How hard it is losing my independence
🥲 The emotional side of relying on others when you don’t want to
🧹 Trying to clean the house on all fours with a dustpan and brush
🧙‍♀️ My witchy crochet livestream + the prosperity mushroom charm I made
🍄 What herbs I used and what the charm is meant to bring
😂 McDonald’s sending me two odd socks with my meal (yes, really)
💊 Being prescribed apixaban to prevent blood clots
🎁 My kids’ Christmas shopping adventures thanks to G-Ma
🎄 Wrapping presents (and how much my hand hated it)
🔥 Why heat pads have become my absolute lifesaver
🦶 Muscle changes + pain updates
🤦‍♀️ Forgetting my toe was fractured and scratching it… BIG mistake
🧽 My friend Ell rescuing me with cleaning help when I felt like a useless potato

I hope sharing my honest recovery helps someone else going through something similar feel less alone. 💛
