I slept with my feet elevated last night. Felt a bit of a difference. I woke up two hours in, with my feet and hands both tingling. It was a good tingle, kind of like stuff waking up. Or at least it was giving me that impression. It just felt better than it did before.

Feet weren't as swollen when I woke up too. In the middle of the night tho, I turned on my side, and ended up with one leg not as elevated as the other, but the swelling in my feet and ankles was a lot better than it was when I went to bed. I also felt better around my waist and back. So, I do think I've got some edema going on. Gotta talk to my doctor about that on thursday.

oh, and I got a phone call today from my physiatrist. The one that is out of network for me now. They wanted to know if I wanted to try a trial of the electronic gizmo thingie that goes around the calf of my leg and would send electronic signals to the nerves in my foot to tell it to move. I'm a little worried about the cost of that, but this is just a trial to see if it would work. I told them yes. My dad said he'd pay for that visit too, because if the gizmo works, I can try to get it from whoever my new physiatrist would be. (the gizmo is the Bioness gizmo for drop foot...not sure of what model it is) At least I would know if it works or not. Hoping that it does. I'm really starting to hate the AFO.

So, maybe that's something good. Hopefully. Really hope that it works. I'll probably know by this time tomorrow if it'll work.
