Awake at a strangely early hour.

.

I couldn't get to sleep until after one, nearly two?  At least a quarter after.  Then I slept very well.  The shower helped.

From not having had the food wrapped or compressed yesterday, it had swollen to twice it's normal size by bedtime.  I put on an open toe compression sock, otherwise my inner toe area becomes... gummy.  I hate that.  Anyway, I thought that might help.  Nope.  This morning it is closer to three times it's normal size.  So... I wrapped, compressed, and put a sock on over that.

Oddly, it doesn't hurt.  It is actually nice, other than the swelling, to have gone without all the gimmicks and such yesterday.  Other than my feet were iceblocks at bedtime, and the swelling.  Could barely get the foot in the shoe.  But it didn't hurt to do so.  Very odd.

Not nauseated this morning.  Only a very mild headache.  That on top of else, after not getting to bed until 1:15 or later, and waking at 7:48.  I first woke at 5:30?  Or so.  I just wanted a bit more sleep.  I kept looking at the clock.  No minutes would pass, than a minute or two.  Five times I looked, and no real change, 5:37 the last time I looked in that set.  Then, after no time seemed to pass, I looked again. 7:30?  Very strange.  I decided to try to push on through to being awake.  And did, if it took a bit.  Though wrapping the feet, and doing all the little things, takes a while.  As does getting dressed and making the bed.

Reminds me.  I didn't redo the bed last week.  I think that is the first time I have missed in... almost since I started?  There was once or twice when I didn't do that until Monday, or Sunday.  But... this was the first whole week I missed, that I can remember.  So, I'll get to it, if probably tomorrow.  Since it is made up, already, I don't want to undo it.  Not while still gimped up pretty badly.

The shower yesterday was a grand gift.  I doubt if I can get another today, or I would.  But tomorrow, yes.  I have a spray wand I can bring down to me, though there is just enough room to stand, if I wish.  And, with something to hold onto, if needed, if a limited standing area, I... can do that better.  Plus, I will keep checking the water softness.  And lowering the setting so it is less slick.  Though I don't feel that foot to tub, still...  I want to use as little of that as possible, so long as sudsing is quick and takes little soap.

Drinking more water, lately.  Completely laid off carbs, or... much more so.  Beans, with beef.  I needed something more than just beef.  Perhaps a keto spaghetti tonight?  Yea, that would be good.  A zero carb "pasta", tomato meat sauce, and some cheese?  Something like that.

Ugh.  Still feeling a bit squishy, if not truly pained, or nauseated, or with sweeping feverishness.  A moment without any real pain will go a long way to easing things when it returns.  I'll take it.  On to some sort of day.  Later.
