Slept through a few days.

.
.
No real choice.  Just woke a few hours ago.  Fed the cats.  Am gaming a bit.  Having water.  Missed meds.  Didn't help that mom was waiting down here, like a shark, with fifteen things to do, half not even on the list.  No.  There were things I wanted to do.  She was blocking my list with her list.  I wasn't sure I could do my stuff.  Certainly not with her trying to bend my ear.  So I just rested, slept.

Blood sugar improved.  It was 84.  Fasting doesn't always help.  This time it did.  Not having coffee, though, either.  Or meds or food.  I did have water up there.  Not much, finished it.  Should get water pills in though.  I have been trying not to drink at night, but being up there a few days... fluid is good.  I'll put more up there but limit usage, and to only when I sleep over a day or two.  Hmm... might get a medicine book folled and up there, in case I don't make it down for a bit.

Coffee and medicine shortly.  Maybe sorting something to eat.  A shower would be good.  So cold!  I turned the heat up a bit, when I woke.  Letting the bathroom warm.

At things tomorrow... or today actually?  I need to hit some things.  Later.

Up for a bit.

.
.
Trying to switch days and nights back to normal, or expected, sleep and wake cycles.  If nothing else, to get morning medicine in, all of it, then do small parts of lists of work.  Doing both, lately.  Gaming too.  Just bits, here and there.

But so tited I haven't been able to stay awake long.  Today is no different.  But I did wake for a bit, did do a few tasks, and took medicine.  Spoke with mother, advised her on a few things, was there for a tele medicine call.  Got Jasmine out, fed the cats, and a few other things.

Better over better.

.
.
I can usually walk without more than a slight limp and mild pain.  My torso has started hurting, mildly.  Not organs, just general pains, like after doing windsprints after a summer off.  The headache which developed over a few days, a new and different symptom, seems to have passed.

I did a few minor tasks for mother today.  Waking early, but going on back to bed early.  Then getting up for supper.  Doing a few more jobs.  Plus, keeping up on water and ice, rotating and checking kefir, and making plans for a bit of work each day going forward.

Better, if still rough.

.
.
Wasn't able to sleep as warmly as yesterday and the day before.  But I wasn't bitterly cold either.  As well, I was able to get a decent bit of sleep in, if not as much as I had hoped.  Pains returned, internal.  In the torso.  And the feet were still slightly pained.  Better, though.

I am improving, slowly, incrementally, and with occassional hiccups.  Three steps forward, with a step back here and there.  A bit frustrating, but better than the doldrums of suffering I had known oh too well for far too long.

My feet are murder!

.
.
Did I break them, fracture them, or are they somply not getting enough blood flow, so hurting from the cold?  A mixture of a few of those things?  Walking on them is a horror.  The knuckles, of both feet, ache... that without any weight applied.  Up on them, I end trying to walk on the outer sides of my feet, for the terrible pains.  Not possible, fully, in shoes.

I have been sleeping cold, no matter what I have done.  My feet and lower legs the coldest of all.  I tried a nightcap, literal, not a consumable, tonight.  Not sure if that was a good call, or just a rare warm natural sleep.  Will try it again.
