leg pain
I went to see my doctor today about my leg pain. He agreed that I like suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). He has prescribed a sleep aid that wears off after about 6 hours and is not addictive. I'm to try a half a pill at bed time. If half a pill isn't enough, then I'm to take a whole one. In the mean time I'm limiting my caffeine and drinking more water.
Despite that I didn't get much sleep again last night Maggie and I headed out for a walk first thing this morning. The sun was shining and there were just a few fluffy white clouds in the sky. Better still, I went out for our walk without my leg brace and managed just fine. It is certainly easier to walk without it. I wore "girl shoes" to church on Sunday and quickly realized that I will have to practice wearing the shoes I bought for our daugher's wedding in September. An hour or so a day for the month leading up to the wedding should do the trick.
Total geek excitement moment. I often watch STNG when resting my leg in the afternoon. The opening minutes of today's episode looks totally unfamiliar! Surprise! How cool is that!
