The Stillroom

Things I will miss. The fireplace on cold mornings and my cat deciding to sit on my lap to keep me warm.

The only things that are bothering me are my feet and calves. I don’t know if it was from my painting project (which wasn’t really difficult) that had me sitting in the floor which was easy but maybe the twisting around to get up aggravated something. This is all new. I hesitantly rubbed Voltarin on my ankles and took a couple of Advil Sunday morning and it helped diminish the ache to the point where I managed about 4,000 in-house steps. I’m not using anything today. Perhaps some chair yoga and maybe a quick trip to the shop. I feel like I could use a cane but I won’t. Could this be ravaging me in ways I don’t even know? As the days of going untreated pass, I imagine what or how fast this is progressing. I’m grateful for feeling as good as I do. I can’t help but think about when this good feeling will stop and how will a doctor be able to help me and how fast. Right now, is it at a snails pace for sure. I guess no news is good news as I take each day as it comes at me. Trying to be normal. 🙄
