It's the end of Thanksgiving weekend. I've been eating biscuits and pie and drinking. I feel gross. I have not been eating biscuits and pie like I used to however. I've noticed a lot of changes since my months of W30 this year. I have left pie unfinished on my plate. I have not touched the pie or biscuits outside of mealtime (I used to do a lot of early morning edge straightening). Most interesting to me is that I am completely not interested in dairy products since this last W30/70-2. I am not at all tempted by cheese or ice cream. I have a few events this next week that make a complete return to W30 impractical, but the pie and biscuit and drinking events are for the most part done. Although I do finish grad school tomorrow and there will be a celebratory drink involved in that! I think that's a valid excuse.
I just read all my posts from the previous foot surgery on an old (private) blog. I was a mess. I know it's only been 10 days, but I'm in a totally different place. I'm getting out and doing things. I went grocery shopping on my own before Thanksgiving (at small stores, but still, on my own). I've been doing :40 of stretching and pilates/weights every other day. Yesterday we went to the Botanic Gardens and I did a lot of crutching (and a lot of being pushed in a wheel chair). I'm trying really hard to keep my life as normal as possible and just go do stuff even if its hard. I'm sore, my foot is still swollen and is itchy and tight, but my head feels pretty ok. I see the doctor again on Tuesday and may get a cast then, or may spend a week bandaged in a boot if I'm not ready for the cast yet. Either way I should be out of the splint and get cleaned up a bit.
