Still, was able to wake through it. Then again, that is pretty much how every morning has been for a while. Most problems... ease through the morning or what passes for it. This morning is an actual morning. For the first time since breaking the foot, I have been able to wake at what had been a more normal time. Otherwise waking between ten and noon or so.
I had been going to bed at normal times, too, from 15:00 to 20:00. I just couldn't wake. Or, could, to pee, a lot. And also into a severe headwind of pain from various sources. Doing pretty good today, at least able to face that first onslaught. Painpills first thing. I hadn't had any since Saturday, I think. I wanted to take them, may have suggested I would. Was afraid they would exacerbate nausea.
As well, wrapping both feet during the day, under compression and regular socks, stuffed in shoes, had really helped some things. I had been peeing, say, six to ten times a night. And, the last three nights for sure, outputting six to nine liters. I had been drinking more, too? If nothing else, I hadn't been up to pee as much in the day. The wrappings seem to have handled a number of issues.
Both feet look normal at the end of the day, when I unwrap. And, in the morning when I wake and rewrap. Learning how to solve pain and other issues, on the fly, while nearly screaming from pain? Well... what else is there. Pain severe enough that I thought my heart might fail. That "ba-boom!" in there, when even touching my foot, for the first few days. Excruciating.
Some of that pain is still there, but I have... consciously... managed it. Painpills, when possible, if in slight excesses of normal usage, but that isn't going to continue. I went two to three days without, if more for nausea than other health concerns.
Ah, the shoes that arrived? I... won't try to dress shoes for a few days. Just... not... interested. Not... ready. But, I wanted to try to basket ball shoes. High-tops, Reeboks. And? And, while they will take some breaking in, they are perfect for my current needs. Will do until the boot and up-sizer for the other shoe arrive. Though, these might work without those. They may be returned? I'll... see. I have them on, and laced. And, yeah... that... works fairly well.
I tried the orthotic insole. Looks like I ordered those a size too big? Aye, but I think I was doubting their sizing. Most, many, 16 sized items are made in China, or Vietnam, where they have no idea what a real size 16 is. Nope, these... are real 16's. No need to return them, I'll just trim them. And, no need for these in the Reebok's, they have semi-rigid insoles as is. While not, truly, as stiff as the orthotics, with all else, regarding the shoe and heel, it works out.
That "ba-boom" hit. I'm glad I took painpills earlier. While I can't consciously feel the pain, the body must be able to sense it otherwise. That heart thump is a normal reaction, but only to severe pain. At least I don't feel it. Gaming keeps my mind off it. Though I am using other forms of gaming, beside electronic, lately.
The rubik's cube of course, but yesterday I received another "toy", and tomorrow... today actually now, I will receive yet another type. These allow me to... tinker... when I am not up to full game play. I can use them anywhere, as well. Too old for them to really help me, but I do enjoy them. And, when I have used them to completion, I... have ideas of where to gift them, who could use them. These are probably pretty good for kids, of a certain age. Maybe their parents before that? Who knows. But, for now, they... can keep my company, occupied. I should have gotten some of these before. Simple little things, but they... keep the mind... put a mind... on a roll? Something. I would enjoy crosswords, but even those are just propaganda these days.
The tools I ordered have nearly all arrived. And, while they seem a bit weak, I have found, if used correctly, these are amazing, especially for their weight. I am used to needing four pound tools to do what these one pound tools do. Seriously, the pipe wrench set can do what used to require the old cast iron pipe wrench. Though, if you need two, might not be bad to have one of each. Would still prefer a pair of these, but... for now... this will do. Though, if pipework is needed, and it is in time, I have my eye on and even heavier duty one. But... until things clear out and up with finances, that is on the back bench.
Well... on to my day. I am sure there might be something I can heat, for breakfast. It won't be keto, cream of wheat or such. But I need something in there, to sooth the nausea. Might not work, might. Heavy on the cream. A bit of cinnamon. And keto sweetener, for what it's worth. At least I'm not adding folly onto foibles by using a regular sweetener. Bleh.
Ah, the migraine is down to below nosebleed level! Take what you can get, work through the rest. Good morning, day, or whathaveyou.
