That just wasn't going to happen.

Beside the pain, rolling and tossing means I kept ending up on my bruise.  Once in a while, now, is fine.  But flipping and flopping like a fish on a line out of water was begging to really damage that?  Or at least make it feel more uncomfortable than it has to point.  No.

As to the pain?  I bandaged the area again.  Leaving everything else, the packing and such, as is.  That... didn't work.  So I pulled that dressing, pulled the packing too, then reset it.  It is finally easing up, but even then just now, an hour later?  Or more?  Or less.  I just can't tell.  But it is getting better.

I may end up back in bed, if the pain stays mild.  Actually, it has to ease up more, or I'll just flip and flop up there again.  Amazingly excruciating.  Not sure what the problem is, or was?  Still is, really.  All I know is I can't sleep with that.  And, at this point, the pain has absolutely crushed me but I still can't sleep with the pain remaining.

Now, it is such a good day, I have opened up the rest of the house a bit.  And, if, or when, I go back up to sleep, I will open a cross window to the one I have open.  Turned the furnace off.  Might even be able to just leave it as such for a day or three.  It was 67 or 69 up there, with just one window open.  If the furnace was going and the door to the downstairs was open.  Still, that's... almost hot.

Sounds like dairy is on the way.  Going with extra cream this week, and a gallon of milk, this week and next, to see if that will help me push healing.  Yes, it'll cost on blood sugar, but that has, to point, come down to more around 170.  Higher, but... to have food, and to watch healing spike?  I'll... take that trade in the short run.  Might even get one more order of chicken, for this week, maybe next.  Then... I'll... get back to it.

I am almost walking easier.  I am able to eat at all, which... was required first.  couldn't eat the first two weeks, or much.  Nausea, and all, from pain and healing.  Ugh.  But it's a good thing.  I'm in a rhythm.

Such a pretty day!  I can't wait until my new glasses, with auto-tinting lenses arrives.  Well, two pair.  One is more for just driving, and long distance viewing.  The other is for full spectrum viewing, via progressive lenses, plus the auto-tinting.  The long distance glasses are more for driving, the others more for just being outside.  I'll... see... if what they advertise fits my needs/wants.  And, both lenses are the lightest they make for the frames and such.

Back is aching, though not from it's own causes.  I think it's from flinching with the leg pains.  Oh well.  Well... on with something or other.  Pains are... back at it.  Ugh.  Not sure what to do.
