Enjoying the Scotch in my veins even though realistically, as little as I had should be completely metabolized by now.  A nice thought anyway ( Read more... )

So I've been slowly and carefully rebuilding my left ankle tendon.  Crutches to work--the uphill on that campus is still too daunting to get more than halfway without them, even without a backpack.  Around town I bring them, not only to cope with rollercoaster sidewalks but because they're big silver flags to wave cabs down with.  Buses I limit ( Read more... )

Because I may have found the cause of my recent leg/ankle grief, and it's self-inflicted and may be quite fixable.  Maybe.  It's done some damage ( Read more... )

My feet have really been feeling good lately, no real pain minus the occasional warning pull, warnings generally heeded.  After breakfast Sunday I hobbled about a block looking for a masseuse (found, but closed Sunday afternoon) and got some really good food for dinner.  That was pushing it, Sunday should be total rest, but the weather is beautiful ( Read more... )

Went to my doc to get more buffered naproxen and his staff sent me upstairs to a foot doctor.  Okay --shrug--  I got in there and he had a room full of workout equipment.  Cool, I thought, someone who understands my desire to strengthen and not just do damage control.  He talks to me, he's young and his English is only okay.  After he asks me what ( Read more... )

But I spited (spit?) my feet to please my brain tonight.  This was a four day weekend for Buddha's Birthday and Children's Day, and I've been stalking these shots for a couple weeks.  I figured I had time, but then the Sewol went down and the city left this unlit in mourning.  I'd been resting faithfully for the whole four days, walking around my ( Read more... )

A few days off my feet and the use of crutches has made a dramatic improvement.  It still hurts to walk any real distance but resting or crossing the apartment just involves some tight feelings and tons of snap crackle pop, not like before ( Read more... )

Well, it's an improvement over last Tuesday/Wednesday, when my legs cramped up for no apparent reason despite being relatively rested.  I say 'relatively' because Wednesday I don't have to switch buildings at work, but today tells me that seriously, I should not be walking at all. I rested all day yesterday, minus crossing the street to get my ( Read more... )

For one, about why I stopped using LJ.  It takes forever to load, and if you type while it's loading it will lose what you typed in favor of your last entry.  No fun ( Read more... )

The day started pretty well, mocha and a bagel and a bus to take an adventure on. E-Mart was closed so I figured I wasn't going to get much done, and the bus went to the train station, which would involve getting that much done, so I went ( Read more... )
