More progress. More gross comparison photos.

(the gross ones are just from last year)


I'm amazed at the difference. It was so swollen and awful last time. I'm not getting the discoloration. I'm starting to be able to not elevate it without consequence. I've figured out how to grocery shop alone. I made it through a month of on-site client visits a few times a week. I go up and down these stairs

multiple times a day - although I will admit to always going down on my butt, and often crab-crawling up. Now that I know there's a good chance I can start rehabbing soon I'm SUPER impatient.

I've decided that I'm going to try to learn how to live in the real world sometimes, and not be slavish about this W30 - I know that violates everything that is W30, but I need to learn how to eat well (W30 works for me) 90% of the time, and visit reality occasionally. While the all-or-nothing approach is great during the all phases, and my nothing phases each get better, I need to learn how to live without training wheels. So I'm going to enjoy my birthday dinner. Dinner only. Not a whole day of treats. And I will eat W30 for as long as it's working for me, and have the very occasional drink or sauce or english muffin - when it's really worth it.
