#gettoknowme 63yrs old. recently hit by car walking. broken knee, dog was killed... single. grumpy, loud, oppionated, looking for new dog.

3/12 Edited to

... Read moreRecovering from a traumatic event like being hit by a car is never easy, especially when it involves a serious injury such as a broken knee. The physical pain and mobility challenges can be overwhelming, but the emotional impact of losing a beloved dog at the same time adds another layer of grief. I've found that creating a #safespace to heal is vital—this means allowing yourself to reflect on what happened, grieve deeply for the loss, and eventually let go of the pain when you are ready. For anyone in a similar situation, it’s important to acknowledge that healing is not linear. Some days will feel better; others may feel like a setback. Embracing these feelings and not rushing the process helped me to gradually accept my new reality. On practical terms, while recovering, simple exercises and physical therapy were crucial for rebuilding strength in my knee, helping me regain independence bit by bit. At the same time, the desire to find a new dog was a source of hope. It felt like a way to honor the companionship I lost and to bring fresh joy into my life. When searching for a new furry friend, consider adopting from shelters—there are many wonderful dogs in need of loving homes. Matching a dog's energy and needs with your current lifestyle and physical condition is essential to create a successful and fulfilling relationship. Sharing my story in communities like #gettoknowme also helped me feel supported and less alone. Connecting with others who have faced similar challenges or losses can provide encouragement and understanding that family and friends might not offer. Remember, being grumpy, loud, or opinionated is part of who you are, and embracing these traits while healing is part of moving forward authentically. If you’re on this journey, be kind to yourself. Healing takes time, and finding a new dog companion can be a beautiful step toward rebuilding and enriching your life again.
