Yep! Since my last block, it is mostly from the ball of my foot up to my toes. Severity depends on how 'active' I was the day before or the weather. I wore shoes and slippers yesterday to go eagle watching, and my entertainment for seven hours was playing scrabble, angry birds, and sequence with 2 of my grand sons. So I expected more fireworks this morning. Doc doubled my sleeping meds this week so not much bumping to wake me up, but it did. If I would try to lean over on my side and lay one ankle on top of the other, or just bump my foot against my leg it woke me. I have a Chi machine and I love it because

I am not to be doing any or at least limited walking for now, but it does seem to calm my feet and my whole self because it moves my whole
body faster that I can on my own an it really feels like exercise when I
am pretty immobile all day.
Like ain't so bad, I soak in Epsom , them massage each foot with tons
of lubriderm, even between my toes which is like some secret Chinese
torture. Mornings are hardest for me, ost of the time, but I don't
torture myself like most of you, I just don't wear shoes or socks ever.
Well, ok, I wear a special pair open in the back and a thin piece of
leather on top. Naturalizers I think. For socks at home I wear size 10-13 men's heavy cushioned work socks with the tops cut down to just at my ankle so I can keep them on. I can only take them for a couple of hours at a time so i'm happy warmer weather is on the way. Last week, I had to wear socks and boots because of an appt and snow. I read my husband a magazine out loud nearly the entire way as a distraction too keep myself from panicking.

I did suggest to my husband that we take the paper punch and make little lidoderm circles for the bottom of each of my toes! And the color is not always an indicator of the amt of the fireworks going off!

Walking softly for a while,
