I was going to do the range of motion DVD again and commit to daily use, but decided that I shouldn’t overdo it for the first time. I will do it tomorrow and increase my activity gradually. Safer that way.<\/p>\n
I got to walk Bert again and made sure we both didn’t go too long and then visited with him a bit with scratches and pets which he didn’t complain about at all. He is a good fellow.<\/p>\n
Then a friend of mine treated me to a very belated birthday present and we both had a pedicure. I loved it! I had never done that before. I always did my own nails and never really did a very good job, but I figured no one would stoop down to look at the bad job I did with my nail polish. With the pedicures they soak your feet and then massage your legs and feet. Very nice indeed!<\/p>\n
The lady who did my toes wasn’t too sure what to do with my right big toe which no longer had a nail. They didn’t speak English very well, and I was explaining to her that I had it removed because it was so deformed, and it didn’t heal well because of the chemotherapy I just got finished with. I don’t think she understood what I said. So she actually asked me if I still wanted color on the toe which I said no, and she did put a band-aid on it since that was all that could be done. I could tell she felt bad about it because she did also ask me if it had pain which it does often. My friend told me that some places will make a fake toe nail that you can glue on, but my toe was not up to that. The other toes are all pretty with a vibrant red color I picked.<\/p>\n
I went through most of the day taking only Ibuprofen for my pain, hoping that I wouldn’t need the stronger stuff, but the late afternoon when I got home, it finally caught up with me. I was almost beside myself with discomfort and wondered how I was going to get through the rest of the evening. We were invited for dinner at our friends house, and I was playing catch up with the pain medicine. It did finally kick in just before it was time to go, so I was in seeing things in a better light by then. I was glad because it was wonderful fellowship and a lovely fish dinner. For dessert was homemade applesauce that was still warm. Yum! No sugar needed because the apples were sweet enough on their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
