Where do I start... keeping up with exercise therapist. Even though my left leg has altered sensation, the equipment being used, a reformer aka pilates machine, makes the muscles in that leg work, even if I can't feel it. The flaccid, or what used to be flaccid, muscle on the inside thigh just above the knee joint, is starting to resemble the one on my right leg. Also getting muscle tone in the leg, too. I am usually lamed for a few days afterward.
Onto the foot issue: enthesopathy of the plantar fascia. I can't just have plain ol' normal plantar fasciitis, I have to have the more annoying/difficult one to treat. Tried taping the foot, and yeah, that did feel better, but can't keep the foot taped forever. Targeted physio exercises weren't helping either. Saw one podiatrist, and am now wearing 'cushion neutral' shoes. Also, am getting ultrasound shockwave treatment to the heel, itself. Not an entirely pleasant experience, ranging from uncomfortable to painful. I get to go back next week, and the week following.
Onward: I have manage to vertically fracture my back molar... the same molar I had the root canal. The same molar that holds my bridge. *sigh* The back molar and the root splinters/shards have to come out, and I have to have the bridge removed, as the tooth that holds the front of the bridge would get damaged. So, I lose two teeth. The dentist smoothed the sharp edges that was cutting my cheek and tongue, put a temporary patch. When things settle down*, I will go in and sacrifice my bridge. (*aka no more 3+ doctor/physio appointments during the week. When it's just one a week, I will go in to have the deed done.)
Saw counselor. I'm a hot mess, but not as bad a hot mess that I was when we first started. There is something that we discuss, something that keeps circling my thoughts. Good thing my wretched body from the knees down can't comply to those thoughts.
Family is fine, even those in the U.S. I'm pretty safe where I am. W.A. Premier believes in science, isn't ignoring or making the doctors information a political challenge. Bored as all hell, but well.
