thank you. i have been obsessing so much why i didn't listen to my body and pay attention to how tired my legs were after that walking. i should not have gone downstairs. i should have rested a couple of days. the discomfort is interfering with my concentration. i am so angry at my stupidity.
i was able to finish a book. i have to use one of the sponges to wash my hair and body.
i don't know if i should be worried about pudge. i haven't seen her eat that much. i think the kitties know i am in pain and for the most part keeping away..
i can't stop watching the news. pudge just moved a little.
i don't feel like eating. i will just have hard boiled eggs for a few days.

pudge seems fine now. i have been having awful thoughts about my foot. it is hard to stop them.
i found my two kindles.
a lot of the news was so uplifting. there really are so many kind people in the world. people from here are volunteering to fight there. it will be at all their expense. on msnbc they switched to skye news. there was so much intelligent discussions and no commercials.

That sounds good. Keep it up.

I think you can do this. Keep remembering to read your books. Its your
good place right now.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

glad that you found your kindles.

it has always been my legs but this was the left leg. the right leg has been weak since my stroke. you got to be kidding about taking a bath. it is impossible. this time both getting in and then getting out. my leg even hurts when i am not doing anything. i use sponges.
i can't stop watching the news. this nuclear stuff and the madman-how more dangerous can the world be. i am hoping for a coup to get rid of the monster before he blows up the world.

tell me again about your foot?
bizi

it is the ankle and the leg. after i walked outside with the walker my p.t. thought i did great but at the end they got weaker and i was caught before i fell. stupidly i didn't rest for a couple of days. the next i went downstairs with the walker for the mail. when i came back up my good leg and ankle twisted and went down hard. i felt around and didn't feel anything broken. when i tried to get up my right ankle kept on turning painfully and i couldn't get up. i crawled to the phone and three workers came up and lifted me to the bed.
i lay there for 5 hours until marci came. she had to call her coordinator who called 911. i didn't want to go to the hospital. the guy stand stand and i was able to stand.
i still have a lot of pain and obviously poor balance. this one is going to take a long time. i can't tell you how upset and depressed i am.

I am sorry that you are this depressed. and are having so many falls. How is your sleep. are you able to get some long stretches in.
I don't have any advice about your ankles legs.what about braces to help keep your ankles straight. I don't know what the answer is. Maybe you should see a doctor and get them to examine you and perhaps give you guidance.
One of my clients had her cat shaved. looks funny.

bizi need to go to work now.

Do you have a brace for your ankle or foot. If not when your pt
comes ask him/her if there is one that might help with the weakness
and pain for now. Its how I walk on an hurting ankle. And I always
use one. When I twist an ankle because if I don't I can't walk on my
foot. Now I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about me. I really
do have to use a brace or ankle thingy because when I twist or hurt
my ankle I can't walk unless I have one. For me it also helps my ankle
not hurt as much. I'm not sure how it does that.

Now if its hurting when I am sitting. I take tylenol or ibprofen and use
heat.

my sleep is rotten. i asked him if it should be wrapped and he said no. i will mention about an ankle brace but it is also from my knee down to foot. i feel nauseated and chilled.
thank you.
