Woke up today with the top skin of my toes on my right foot slightly bloated more than the left. I fell asleep last night with my splint on. I'm thinking that was probably not a good thing to do, but I DID sleep much better last night. I immediately gave my knee a break from the thing, and simply took it off. Twenty minutes later, and it's back on again. Guess I just really need to have it on...I actually THOUGHT this is getting better. I caught myself walking normally around three, but after taking the dogs outside- Ruby sort of pulled me off of the steps - and I was feeling twinges again. Maybe I'm just a whiner, I hate body pain of any kind, but give me a tattoo and that's a whole 'nuther story....
And did I actually think things couldn't get any worse?!? Ken has been really sweet about taking care of me for the past few days....and what does HE do? He went and did some food shopping at the store tonight, and when he bent over to pick up a huge bag of dog food - he pulls something in his back. Now that's something for me to worry about, because he's not getting any injections anymore - and he has a bad back to begin with because of the lady that ran a red light two years ago. I, personally, think he doesn't tell me how much it hurts most of the time, but tonight - it was crystal clear. I wound up putting a sports gel all over the lower middle part of his back, and I made him go sit down in the livingroom (while I make a pizza to eat)
Oh well, these problems we are both experiencing is just another sign of what we both are no longer.....young......At least we are the same - together....
