Journey to Knowing

Yep. I've had many on my other foot around the ankle area. Ortho said no fracture on Tuesday which surprised me. Obviously something just got pushed a little out of place and popped bsck.
 
Woot! I made it to the store and back without throwing up or passing out. A cup of chicken broth did me good. Then I over did it with fruit cocktail but it was nice while I ate it. Never thought I would say Naked & Afraid tv show would teach me enough that I would know when to push a little further and when enough is enough. Went out wo my boot. Not doing that again. Still too sore after the fact. I also cleaned and filled 3 of the 6 litter boxes tonight. Usually do that in the yard but had to get a bit creative doing it indoors. Better than not doing anything. I've lost over ten pounds in three days. As close as I've come to agonizing pain but at least I'm through the worst.
 
About to try solid food for first time since Tuesday evening. Makes my stomach churn thinking about it but I think it's time. Weirdly my torso is all swollen. I guess everything is inflamed but bra and pants barely fit.
 
One full week since getting sick and today I ate normal food. My digestive system is still healing but my fatigue is slowly disappearing and I'm not staying within 10 feet of the bathroom. I'll need to work tomorrow to make up some ground and then go into office Friday. May work Saturday too. The new prescription glasses are helping w my work. Didn't realize I couldn't see.
 
Broke the inertia and got in the pool early this morning to do exercises. I'm exhausted from twenty minutes but I got up, drove the 20 minutes and got in the pool. Taking a nap before starting work. I feel so sore and very tired. Hoping to do this four-five times a week.
 
Walked over 5,000 steps in this boot yesterday. Leg is exhausted and I'm low on gas in the car so I'm deeming this a rest day. Have $11 to get me through Monday and need to drive 100 miles Friday for Lights for Liberty vigil.i did stretch before getting out of bed which has the foot burning in places and the leg shaking so I may have over stretched. I'll eventually get it.
 
Cooking and exercise! Great! Today as a rest day is probably a good idea. I don't know what your fuel prices are, but undertaking a longish journey while low on both fuel and cash sounds pretty tricky - don't run yourself ragged!
 
Thanks!

Put on my runners this morning. Still have to wear the boot out but after yesterday my hip needed a break of lopsided walking. I'm amazed at how much my foot is swollen after all these weeks. Ortho said I could wear the shoes in the house. Just can't be barefoot.
 
Did 15 minutes water walking and another 15 of exercises. Got home, removed a tick from my body (first I've ever found), & cooked breakfast and the the cptsd kicked in and i basically passed out. Four hours later and the shaking is letting up. Going back tomorrow.
 
Keep an eye on how you're feeling after having a tick on you. Did it all come out?
Having good quality cookware is so important. We love our Le Creuset cookware.
 
I put the tick in a baggy with alcohol. If the bite(s) do anything weird I can take it to the extension agency for testing. Looks to be okay. Crazy my indoor cat has had two ticks and I get one walking to the car and back.
 
I thought it best to do a rest day today. Happy I did. Both ankles and Achilles are more than sore. Planning to head back Sunday when it opens at 10 and then go Monday, Thursday and Friday.

Headed to the vigil later. I put $18 of the $21 i had in the tank because I found a great price. I cooked breakfast again today. So yummy. And eating the other stuff I prepared yesterday as tacos. A stranger gave me a frosted lemonade today when I picked up the drawer to a drop top desk from her. I'd been craving one for two weeks. Intention!

I will use the desk as my watercolor studio. It's nearly perfect for that.

Two cats not doing fantastic. Two are great. Think I'm going to give in and get flea meds so I can walk them outside. Hate to put the poison on them but they're getting depressed and need more enrichment. I used to just buy new stuff every few months but can't do that anymore.
 
Good idea having a rest day. I'll be with you in spirit at the vigil. Our country has similar inhumane policies & it's disgusting.
