Big Day

Wow, I suck at following through with what I said in my last blog. I have no been keeping up with my physical therapy.

But I can say now, that I feel like it is helping a lot with straightening my legs out and taking the pressure off the sore spot in my foot, but the actual spot is not improving.  I'm thinking that I might have to actually get the fluid drained out of my foot, which I would prefer, but then I would still have to work with my tendonitis. This is my last week of therapy, which is bittersweet. I go back to the doctor this coming Monday the 26th, so I will update then on what is happening.

Another big thing that is happening is I have been extremely sleep-deprived, for two weeks, and it is not a new thing. I have had issues with sleep since I was a freshman in high school.  I was supposed to get a sleep study done the night before my high school graduation, but the money fell through, so it did not happen.  But I had to go see a psychiatrist this Monday, and he prescribed me a sleep aid, and ordered me to get my thyroid checked, and it get a sleep study.

The medication thus far, has not helped at all, but it is a low dosage, and I am taking half a pill.  And my mom surpised me and took some initiative and called the OAK center about getting insoles for my shoes made, and about getting me the sleep study.  So I called today and I have an appointment this Friday at 10:30 to get my feet molded, but I think it will like around 2-3 weeks to actually get the insoles.  I also got an appointment for my sleep study, but there was not an opening until May 9th, but I'm on the cancellation list, so if someone cancels, I get moved up.  I wish so much that it would be sooner, like at least in April, but beggars cant be choosers.

I feel really bad physically, but I have a little bit of hope now that I have some things set in stone to improve my life.

I'm going to try to update tomorrow after my therapy.

Kind of lame, but I take comfort in Ryan Giggs. Yesterday while I was crying (I've been doing that a lot lately) I just used my Giggsy jersey as a pillow. Love him.
