So I've still been sick; I kind of punted on a few weeks. But I also feel a little more with it. Still walking the dog(!) I missed my new meds one day and felt too bruised and sore to manage it, which is a good indication that their effect is less subtle than it feels like. I also climb the big hill with a lot more ease now. I still have monster ( Read more... )

Still very ill and not getting much done, but I've started a new medication that may help. I had a few side effects the first week, but also reduced pain and a wee bit more energy in the mornings. In the second week the side effects went away but the benefits remained. I'll be pushing it up another notch next week. I'm supposed to expect perhaps a ( Read more... )

This year so far is fired; I've been relentlessly ill and tired; I'm having almost as much trouble getting anything done as I was when my foot was broken, which is ridiculous. I'm not really sure what to do about it; I have a referral to a gastroenterologist from my sleep doctor, so I guess I keep on with that. (He thinks I may have reflux; I'm not ( Read more... )

So despite adjustment issues and overall surprise at how a dog can be *that* energetic, Chance is actually settling in very well. He makes good company for me during the day, because he likes to sleep very peacefully for most of it and then he wakes up in the evening and pokes and pokes and pokes me and if I do not rouse, he climbs onto me on the ( Read more... )

Tamago made this using the chibi dollmaker and while I have been generally too flat to do much of anything, I had to make it into an icon. Coffee is lifeblood ( Read more... )

So it's been kind of abominable, between sickness and sleep disruptions and stress. I'm completely wrapped on my schedule, often unable to sleep at all during the night, or if I manage to get to sleep I typically wake up between 3-4am and can't get back to sleep again ( Read more... )

Still working on my feet. I was laid out flat by an insomnia cycle this weekend and spent most of it dazed and in bed and completely skipping any useful exercises, and my foot decided to get better anyhow. I can now walk with very little limp even barefoot, balance for up to ten seconds on a good day (this isn't reliable yet so still needs work) ( Read more... )

I have been so sick I don't even. I think the proximate cause has been the poor sleep, even though I'm in recovery mode from that, and all of the extra bouncing from a tiggeriffic dog, which I am still getting used to. Walks with him are exhausting and he needs at least two a day instead of one, so it's been quite an adjustment. We're working on ( Read more... )

We knew it was time to start looking again, and everything worked out very fast.
