I'm trying to clean my desk off so everything has a nice home. My desk is really crowded right now. It's really really messy in here. That's the problem with feeling sick all the time, you lose all the will to clean anything up.

Trying to clean, I guess that would count as exercise. I just have to sit down occasionally because standing is stressful right now.

I slept with my feet up on a pillow again last night. Felt so much better this morning. Starting to wonder if it's the swelling feet and legs that's making me feel sick. I guess there was nothing wrong with my kidneys or liver, since they said all the bloodwork was normal. Maybe that edema is what's causing the insomnia, and because it's uncomfortable, it makes it hard to walk.

Not sure if I mentioned it, but I bought one of these the other day http://www.qvc.com/Sit-N-Cycle-Low-R...ct.F11165.html

It almost looks like a cross between a barstool and an exercise bike. (I guess I could call it a stationary unicycle) My dad let me buy it. (hey, I did say that we're into gadgets here). It arrived today, so I just need to assemble it and try it out. Hopefully it's not a piece of junk. Kind of hoping it'll work and that I can use it to slowly and gently exercise.

Hope I don't end up crashing it into a wall if I get unbalanced on it. I have to make sure I have it next to something to hold onto. Going to put grab bars on the wall in my bedroom for exercising anyways. Really hope it works.
