There for a bit, I thought I was going to crash. I fed Sassy
again. Put bags in the bigger trash cans, which I had to get from
storage. Well, and while at it, brought laundry down from upstairs and
put a load into the wash, while moving the load in the wash to the dryer.
Finally, I got coffee going, then also got a meal to heating. Nothing
fancy. Aluminum foil, a bit of the casserole, the oven at 350, and a
timer. I must say, having a convection oven is worth the bit more in
cost... which is less than it used to be but still a bit of a premium.
Medicine is in, down. Coffee is going down. I checked the
laundry. The few clothes in the dryer were finished, so have been
pulled. But the washing machine is taking it's time. Hmm, should
be ready now. I should have clean shirts and underwear, enough for a
week or two right out of this batch. And, now, will have pants enough
for... a month? Since I only wear pants when going to town, or the post
office during daylight hours, thicker pj's or shorts as summer arrives
otherwise, pants don't get very dirty. So I... wear two pair for about
two weeks? A month if I am only out a few times a week. I like
having two pairs so I can at least make it look like they are different, per
time I go out. Psyops isn't always a combat thing. :p
With food back in stock, on the menu, I'll try to eat once a day. Not a
lot. And it is higher carb. But it will do. Still only
eating in the five hundred to thousand calorie range. Which, for now,
makes higher carb food more doable. And, just one meal a day.
Maybe a bit more in a few hours. So intermittent fasting is back on
track, from sixteen to twenty two hours of fasting a day. Good enough.
I rebandaged wounds, which hurt a bit, today. Then applied full length
compression. Which... also hurts a bit. But the pains are easing
fairly quickly and nicely. Still, I need to get back to rebandaging more
often. Well, the wounds that remain.
The wrist, the bigger of the wounds, was maintaining a scab about half the
size of a dime. But it was persistent. As with the smaller wound
on the knee. Both, I noticed today, have been absorbed, replaced by red
but solid skin. The main knee wound is still a real, solid, fifty cent
piece sized wound, if more oval, rectangular, in shape. And the old
wound is doing better. Maybe ten to fifteen percent better than the last
time I was in? Maybe. That one is difficult to tell.
The ankle is better. Still a little squishy, swollen, sore. But
completely functional... unless I go to the extremes of what it was ever
useful to within. But the knee is still just a wee rough. Not
filing a complaint with management, just... noting. It really could, and
probably should, have been worse. All of it. And it has no right
to be this much better this quickly. True enough. Still, it also
is what it is, and things still hurt.
Oh, yes, more vids. I do have to laugh. Someone is both listening,
and hearing, what I am writing, even dreaming. Laugh?
Chuckle? There is a difference. And I would say a bit of both, but
in a more kindly way.
Something I am noting, as I got further into carnivore, was that things, diet,
does change. How much I need, how regular my consumption, lots of
things. Comparing notes with this fellow, I... don't see absolutely
exactly what he is seeing? But close enough. I might even suggest
he is more correct, as he was tracking things better. But... the idea is
there.
Ah, and one other thing? While I won't be fasting really soon. I
need food, for healing. I need it a lot. I see what fasting,
currently, does to healing and won't do that if possible to eat. But, in
time, I want to get back to some fasting. Longer fasting.
The longest I was able to fast was five days, and that quite surely almost
killed me. One thing I have to remember, when fasting longer, is to drop
medicines if necessary. Yes, but do it according to bp. If bp
starts cratering, then I need to stop it. But, too? There... are a
few things that might make extended fasting much more safe, and useful in my
plans... and health.
So... yes. There... are tricks to things. Will it work, or those
things combined? Don't know. But I do know, if I do extended
fasting again, I... will be exploring these things. Oh, and of course,
adding prayer in. Something about including God in one's plans makes
life a lot... safer, better, healthier. Later.
