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.
bridger- sounds nasty. Hope you get our mobility back.
Years ago, when I fell and broke my ankle (not as serious as yours), I was having trouble walking. Some of it was caused by lower spine issues. A wheelchair was sent. (Not a treatment, and to be avoided).
When I walked into the chiropractor, holding onto the walls for balance, I did not even think there was a chance for me. But within two months, I could walk again.
You might know this already, but be sure to fully investigate the reason for your fall. It could be neurological, or a medication (even statins).
And slow way down. My feet were not going in the direction I was aiming them, so I had a total of 3 falls over two years.
You can recover! Do your PT, and if you can, see a chiropractor when the time is right.
Best wishes Bridger!
Do you think severe foot pain can be caused from statins?
I don't know if Statin drugs can cause severe foot pain.
But I will share that I do have severe foot pain and do not take statins.
NHWM how are your daughters?
The chest area is relaxing a bit not as tight as it was. When I was released from the hospital I was sent home with oxygen. Now I am convinced it was because my chest was so tight, just not able to breathe deeply. The oxygen was picked up last Thursday. O2 readings are in the mid 90's this week, last week low 90's. I wondered if there was an altitude component also. The hospital is 2,000 feet higher than home is.
Today…she’s forgotten all about it, and has told me that I’m a “good girl” and that I work so hard.
There are blessings to short term memory loss. This is one.
You are getting funny during your reovery!
You and one other person vaccinated!
It's very rare for me these days to get out at night but it was a nice variation. There are many things I *need* to do with school these days but it was great to do something just for fun for a few hours.
Memorial for HS bestie is Friday. Will see how I am feeling..
Talked with identical twin, also bestie, last night. She had not felt much like eating for at least a couple of years. They never thought it could be a medical issue. Neither has seen a doc for years. Tumor was id'd in January, removed, as much as they could in February. It's had spread to other organs. She elected to start chemo which weakened her significantly. She got down to 78 pounds, she was about 5'6" .
This is very hard on twin sis, they had always been very close.😢 Twin was advised to get colonoscopy asap. She did and all is good.
