I’m here with my feet propped on pillows in bed, lap top, while listening to my first audio book……toes swollen and looking like little Vienna sausages…..icks I have pics, but the camera and download adapter is in the office…lol
My feet are bandaged up and in boots. For the next 2 days I’m only suppose to get up to go potty. My left foot hurts more then the right..I knew that my left was worst then the right so I figured that was it. My doctor just called and confirmed it, said the right took 8 min while the left took about 11….said it was much more scarred up and “grisly” so it is going to heal and be better, but it will take a lot more longer then my right. =( We’ll know more when we go to see him next week.
I like our foot doctor, I just really wish he had been our primary care doctor. He is very helpful and explains things very well and funny. He did have some cautious news. When I got blood work done, my blood sugar was higher then it should be and all I had that day was my wheaties/oat bran mix with bananas with 2% milk. So I’m going to call the lab and have them send the results to my primary doctor. I’ve known that blood sugar issues were a possiblity with my family issue, then there is the family history of heart problems. That is why I’ve tried to exercise and watch my weight….but with my feet I haven’t been able to that and then the steroids he put me on…icks!!!! I’m not a happy camper. I can’t wait to be able to do some sort of calorie burning exercise without crying.
We are putting ice packs on my legs to help with the swelling. It has been very helpful, they just don’t stay cold as long as I would like. They say I should do it for only 15min every hour, but with the swelling I like them longer.
Harold has been so good to helping me. I’m trying not to ask for much very often. It is one thing to help out, but I’m too independent to being waited on….I just don’t have the choice. Harold did get me out of bedroom. =) For dinner he brought me my office chair and rolled me into the office. It was nice.
I’m trying to find the balance of propping my feet up without hurting my knees by angles created by me sitting up at the same time……I’ll figure it out.
I have no idea how I’m going to clean up other then a sponge bath. I am thinking of just sitting on the floor of the shower with my feet out of the shower taped up in plastic bags, cause there is no way I’m going with out cleaning…..I’m a clean freak.
I know I should have gotten some work done, I’ve had my lap top….but screw it, I don’t get chance to chill out day very often.
Sandi called to check on me, so did Melinda…..then ended up talking to dad……I left a message for mom. That was cool.
This is too funny :
The wagging finger is a commonly used insult in Australia, often leveled at drivers of monster SUVs or expensive sports cars to suggest their vehicles are compensating for a deficiency elsewhere.
**I love it!!!
Bush won’t rule out full Libby pardon
**This pisses me off!!!!! There is no accountability with this administration. What a liar!
That is all for the day…..move on, move on…………grin
