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.
eb - mother was a physiotherapist and believed strongly in exercise. If you keep doing those exercises they should help the underlying condition, not just get rid of the pain. I haven't had it since I exercised. I notice the tendons in my ankles get sore if I don't walk enough. Glad various things are helping.
need - so good to hear your daughter is getting better and they are taking precautions at her workplace.
Barb, I rolled the ice bottle over my foot as you suggested. It really worked well. Right now foot feels better. I don't know why podiatrist did not offer me cortisone injections. He has the same thing and knows how painful it is. He probably wanted to see how the inserts works first before anything invasive. I just might get the custom ones.
Thank you all for your kindness!
Thanks, she said that her taste is coming back. Her cough is still lingering a bit. She’s been drinking hot tea.
I am too. She says that she is going to wear a mask when returning to work. They eased up on wearing masks because all of the employees were vaccinated. This new variant is highly contagious. She thinks it’s better to go back to wearing a mask.
She is staying home longer than the required quarantine time, they have deep cleaned and sanitized her office. Doctors have said that the Delta variant packs a much stronger punch, more contagious and symptoms vary, even among those vaccinated like my daughter. She felt pretty funky.
You made a well informed decision. I know someone from the radiology department where I had the biopsy and her mother of 60 years old had a double mastectomy and was happy with her decision. You are a very courageous woman, glad.
It’s sad that fully vaccinated people like my daughter are getting COVID. Be careful everyone, this Delta variant is so much more contagious and is more aggressive.
We are seeing more people test positive with the Delta variant in Louisiana too.
Looks like you made the best possible decision. Very happy about the outcome.
I missed the news that Midkid was having surgery. Will pray for her.
So happy for you both, that was good news, and something to celebrate!
🎆🎉🎊🎈💫
Yay! That’s fantastic news!
Sending my thoughts and prayers your way. Hope you are up and about soon. Hugs to you.
I will give it a try. Custom is expensive but if this treatment does not work I will take your advice have them made custom. Thanks again Barb.
I just got my results from the radiologist and it is a benign fibroadenoma a non cancerous tumor. I am so relieved I can't tell you. I actually cried when I told my family. Brother wants to celebrate and takes us all out to dinner which I will take him up on. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Glad, I'm so happy with your outcome--and your intuition.
Llama, take care and hope they get to the bottom of your syncope or vaso-vagal.
Has anyone heard from Midkid58 since her surgery?
Glad - YAY!!! very good news. Absolutely you made the right decision. Hope you can go home soon.
EB (((((hugs))))) and prayers for the biopsy and also your foot problem. Plantar fasciitis is very painful. I found that extending and flexing my ankles before I got up in the morning really helped.
