falling hurts

So here it was Thursday 345pm. Sunny and 40 degrees. I'm 12ft off the ground and step from the roof to the extent ion ladder and it gives way sliding out as I step on it. Straight down I freaking go landing flat on my feet with my body twisted into the ladder. The GC and painter were standing right their and watched the the whole thing. I was instantly in severe pain in my ankles and my right knee. They helped me up and I took two steps and collapsed due to my ankles giving out. I could feel them swelling up inside my boots. They helped me to my tailgate. After 45 mins I finally get in my truck to leave. I drive in tears yo pick my 3 1/2 yr old son up at daycare and come home. So about 1 1/2 he's of driving. Step son comes put and gets my son out of truck for me. I have to still drop him off 1/2 hour from my home for his visitation with his mom which is right next yo the hospital. I hobble and crawl into the house. Get to my recliner and wife sits down and syarts to eat. I'm like"can we please go so I can go to the hospital". She literally gets pissed and cops an attitude. At this point I'm I'm so much pain I don't give a shit. So we drop my son off and go to ER. We pull up to the door and she park and just sits their. I'm like "please go get someone". She again gets pissed and slams the door and goes in and gets someone with a wheel chair. At this point I'm already in excruciating pain and just flutered at her total lack of empathy. So I get checked I'm and soon sent to xrays. 17 total. While I'm gone she goes through my phone(I don't have a pass code due to her trust issues). I get back and shes being short and snotty and just cold. She then tells me she's upset about conversations with my sons bio mom(all of which are about different things about my son.) She's pissed that bio mom thanked her on FB for taking care of her son whie she got her life straight. I'm like first why the fk did you go through my phone. I have not and never will cheat,I do all the cooking,all the homework with her boys ,my own laundry my sons laundry, and am home every night. I don't drink,use drugs I work hard all day and come home to my family. At this point we get results back from radiology. No broken bones. Possible hair line fracture in left ankle,severly sprained ankles and possibly tore the muscle and ligiments in right knee. Got see an ortho doc this week. Get put in legs cast and sent home. I don't know if any of you have seen someone with a cast and sprained ankled use crutches but if I would've recorded it il would've went viral.

So I get up yesterday and while making m y lunch on crutches ss12 asks what I'm making for dinner. WTF dude I'm on crutches not making dinner.for all the frustrations I have with ss13 he helped me to my truck and has beena blessing helping me. I go to work leg cast and all and finish the cedar siding androof repair. A 1 hr job took 3 with my co worker but its done. YYesterday was also one of pur vendors Christmas parties and I was the DD. So I go and after its done we all go back to boss's house and he's all bragging about his new(used) Nintendo he just got. Yes Nintendo were all getting old lol. So we chit chat and I go yo leave at 530. My wife who I just talked to at 4pm has called twice and is now upset I'm not home yet.. I get home at 630 and collapse in my couch next to her. She then proceeds to get upset again because I don't want to go out Christmas shopping this weekend. Wtf ever. So its now 6am Saturday. I've been up since 4am in a lot of pain and nothing for it.I won't take narcotics at all due to bring sober for almost 3 years. I do not want to be an ass but I just want to rent movies on demand and ice my shit this weekend. I now 100% for sure know in my heart of hearts where my two step sons thoughtless,selfish and down right narcissistic personalities come from. Ugggggg. . I think I'm gonna go back to sleep until noon. I'm so not looking forward to the rest of this weekend . I do know one thing and that's this site has been a safe haven of advice and sanity for me.

I am so sorry to hear you are hurt. I am thoroughly disgusted with your wife! Why do you stay? Where is the "in sickness and in health" part of your marriage? I cannot even comprehend a life like you lead. Whatever my H'a faults may be, he would have loved and cosseted me in your situation and I him. You need to think long and hard about your marriage.

No we went in any disagreement before I got hurt. I am more hurt than anything. She was in the hospital for just over a week 2 years ago and was so mean,bitchy and rude to the staff and myself I overheard the nurses arguing about who was gonna take her room even though she already had an assigned nurse.

So, you had feedback from the Universe 2 years ago ... and a boatload of examples since then ?

"Don't let the door hit ya' where the good Lord split ya'."

This is such a no-brainer. Dude, get over your fantasy vision of the perfect family. Family does not have to take the form of viscious bitch with spawn. Family walks different through the day. Family feels different. You don't have a true sense of it yet.

I'm so sorry! Keep your legs elevated as much as possible and keep icing them. That will help with the pain and swelling. Over the counter Ibuprofen will also help.

Tell her is she wants your help with Christmas shopping it will need to be done on the internet!

Your wife sounds like my exH. Absolutely useless when I needed him to step up his game. You deserve better. At least the one kid has been somewhat helpful.

Hope you're on the mend quickly.
