Actual update!
I managed to make a real supper tonight! I made stew, it was pretty good. I managed to be on my feet for an hour before I had to go lie down again. I can tell as soon as I've reached my limit because this weird numb spot appears on my back, and nothing makes it go away except lying down. But it's progress, so I'll take it.
I'm going for a massage tomorrow, and I'm kind of nervous about it. I've never been for a massage before and I don't really know what to expect. Also my masseuse is a man, which makes me more nervous. I know it'll be fine but it's just kind of weird. I also hope it doesn't hurt too much. I'm horribly stiff from not being able to move around very much, though I plan to have a hot shower before I go to loosen up a bit. I hope it helps. I don't really know what to think right now. The xray was normal, which was to be expected unless there was something mechanically wrong which I was sure there wasn't. So now I don't know what the next step is. I'll try the massage tomorrow and see if it helps, but if not I'll have to go back to my doctor and figure out what to do next. I might end up going for an MRI or something, but I don't really know. I'm supposed to go to Toronto next week and I'd really like to have something figured out before I go. I wanted to stay for a while but now I don't know if I'll be able to. Emoooooo.
But I think I'm getting a bit better day by day, though it's hard to tell. Dad goes to Moose Jaw tomorrow for the next three days, so I'll see how I can manage on my own. Hopefully it goes well because I'd like to have my house to myself. It's much better here than it was in Calgary, but I think it'll be that much better without him around. I'm really glad he came with me because the flight would have been a nightmare without him, as well as getting groceries and so on. But it's time for him to go home, I think. Back to just me and my ridiculous cats. They're quite firmly attached to me, it's highly amusing. They'll gradually forgive me for being gone for so long and go back to their slightly more aloof state (at the moment they both scream when I close the bathroom door, sigh), which will be nice. Oh my cats, you are so clingy and weird. <3
Must go to bed and break myself of this silly staying up until two business. Apparently it's my natural bedtime now. Sigh. ILUall <33333333333333333
