Broke my ankle and leg in 3 places and I’m getting surgery tomorrow. Idk how to feel or what to expect.

    Do what they tell you, to recover. The surgeon looks bad if you get a bad outcome, so they’ve truly got your best interest at heart. Don’t cut corners!

        Yeah, you might need to set up some ongoing help with your pets until you are firmly back on your feet. You will start to be able to do stuff but still need someone to “spot” you in case a pet bowls you over or gets underfoot and you lose balance.

        Edit to add: Purring helps heal bones, so be sure to cuddle up and scritch those little chins and ears!
