"Wow, you look like crap!

I'm happy to be home. It will be a tough few weeks with the casts on on and than after a few months of rehab, We are looking at hand reconstruction and nuerso surgery to fix my spinal column. It is hard but I keep just making a to list and getting things moving, It keeps me focused on proactive treatment,

The hard part is my vanity. I don't look like me. I can't even shower on my own, schrunchie my hair, wear makeup, etc. Everywhere I go I have people telling me: you look so painful. You make me scared to drive etc. I saw a lady I know real well and she didn't recognize me :( That is hard

I just have to focus on the little people home. I love them and they think I look beautiful. I'm feeling better each day and I need to just focus on that.
