Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Also, Glad and Llama, hope you are both starting to feel a little better.
Slept in a recliner the first few nights, then wedge pillow. Now at home wedge with additional pillows is more comfortable.
Have prescription for Norco but I am just using Tylenol if I need it. I just don't feel like it is pain I am experiencing. It really is more discomfort and sleep disturbance is probably normal.
My kiddos have been so good with helping me. Dd2 came to pick me up the day before surgery. Took me to sons where I spent 7 nights, well six because of night in hospital. Then dd1 drove me home on Wednesday and stayed three nights. She went back home today and son is now here for awhile, we will see how it goes. Have to go back to doc on the 10th, want to drive myself, two hours would stay one night, then back home.
Back to work next week? We will see.
Was it EB with the plantar fasciitis?
Years ago I tried all the treatments & remedies too ☹️.
Video of me walking (how horrible!) showed I rolled one foot in. Weak glute max possible cause, causing a cascade of twisted wrong muscle use.
Hamstring stretches, some physio massages & orthotics seemed to help.
I am now a fan of dry needling to release overtight muscles quickly & am trying to improve my posture for the future.
I call this Canadian Physio my guru. Never met him but love his website! If the link doesn't work, the site is 'Why Things Hurt' by Brent Stevenson.

Feeling better. Yesterday was the first day I felt like doing anything. Got a couple of Amazon returns ready to go. Dropped them off to ship back today. My first drive in two weeks. Activity wore me out. Get tired pretty easily.
Feel better every day!
I don't think she lifted a finger for a month. (Not spoiled, just a slow healer).
Give yourself time, honey.
You have already been out for a drive! Way sooner than I have ever heard!
Be patient little warrior, you have already beat cancer!
Is there a support group that you could attend, or go online? You would be a great support for others, and it may distract you.
How about a swim class once the incision is healed?
Your doctors will be amazed by your healing, I am sure!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Will burn a candle and say a Novena for you.
St. Agatha is the patron saint of breast cancer.
That's okay.💧
Now go wash your face, dry your tears. Someone might be coming over for a visit soon.....
Just had some coffee and that will make me able to sleep. Yeah, I know, but it does the opposite to me and I was having a sharp headache from missing my cup this morning.
Night Glad! 🌌
