I started the morning at my doctors office, discussing all the things that could be wrong with my ankle and the treatment and the options for dealing with chronic pain. He encouraged me to continue doing what I’m doing and start taking gabapentin again.
From there, I went to the office and got a bunch of work done before going to my Physio appointment. Cynthia massaged the ankle and lower leg and then applied heat before sending me on my way. We discussed the compartment syndrome and that we would continue to work on getting it flexible and resolved.
From there, it was off to see mom who had come out of the colonoscopy, bewildered that she had to have it. It made me worry about her cognitive when she thought the only thing she had to do was have the prep was surprised to go down for it. Her surgeon for me to say that it definitely looks like cancer, but they don’t know what kind until the biopsy results come back later this week or early next week. Had a good long visit with Mom, but she definitely was off in weird ways. Hopefully they will do a baseline on her cognitive soon.
I came home and even though it was cold and windy outside, I climbed into the hot tub that was measuring 105° before I took the lid off. I stayed in for a good half an hour or more and it felt great just really cold to get out of. I’m very happy with it. It’s also nice and big and will be good if Emmy or Sawyer are here to visit. A friend suggested I get a canopy for over it and use pretty shower curtains to give some privacy. I think canopy with bug screens would be a good start for the summer and it would also keep the leaves, etc. out. I could hang pretty lights and make it a special place. I still have some tapestries and hangings from when I had my Airbnb that I could use.
