Tired.

.
.
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.
