Non-Weight Bearing

These are my most hated three words right now. I know why I cannot put weight on my right leg since I have a new metal rod in it. But hopping around on one leg is hard. I have crutches, two walkers, and a wheelchair, but I am not mobile at all.

I called my boss today to update him and he suggested I take a disability leave. I guess it is a “no no” to tell someone to quit while they are injured, from a work event no less. I also spoke with HR and started the process of going on medical leave. This will be the third time for me.

It has only been one day, but I do have trouble getting around. Going to the bathroom or cleaning oneself is a lot of work. I do not know if I can live on my own even if I stay on the first floor of my house.
