I can’t expect my entries to be too exciting.  Come on!  I sit in my oversized recliner day in and day out.  I used flex points yesterday and will probably use them today as well.  I had to take 6 pts off of my daily allowance because of the inactivity and I didn’t think losing them would be so hard.  It’s hard to not sit and want to eat.  I went out to lunch today with my aunt after therapy.  I got a salad, chicken drummies, and a baked potato. I ate the potato and salad.  I had a couple of the drummies but brought most of them home for supper.  I felt really hungry but did not eat much once I got the food. Oh , I had a chocolate shake.  Bad me!  I need to make better choices when I’m out.  I know this.  The one good thing about not being able to walk and being laid up is the fact that since I’m using a walker. I can’t carry anything with the walker.  I can’t get to food when I’m bored.  I have a cooler next to me and it has water and pepsi one’s in it. The only food in it is pudding which is 2 points and i’m getting extremely tired of it.

I  didn’t think I would be getting exercise while laid up.  WRONG!  It’s exercise everytime I have to move.  I have to lift the walker and hop on my good foot.  My muscles are getting used in my bad leg to keep it up in the air.  It’s hard to get into my house when I’m so tired.  Steps suck!   I do have a wheelchair to use so I can go out of the house and not overuse my leg.  My good leg gets so sore when i go to the doctor that it burns from all the weight being on it.  It will definetely be stronger when I’m through with all of this.

I had therapy today.  They took the bandage and splint off of my leg and tried to move my foot and ankle.  The therapist didn’t move it past the point of pain so that was nice.  I’m supposed to do it twice a day at home.  I’m not looking forward to that at all.  I can’t wait to be able to walk again.

The things I’m looking forward to after my foot heals is exercising and getting the weight off.  I should be able to exericise without pain and that will be nice.  The weight should come off better that way.  I want to take my son to fun places next year. I also want to go through nursing school without pain.  I don’t want to be a fat nurse.  I’m so excited that I got into nursing school.  I worked hard to get there and I got in.  How cool is that?
