Morning all,

Happy Anniversary, Barb - many happy years to come!

Stayed out a bit late last night, was exhausted when I got home and then spent half the friggin' night walking the floors dealing with excruciating cramps in both my feet. Note to self: Your feet do not like those shoes. Give it up.

Slow start this morning, the coffee is abundant, not sure what's up for the day - happy to veg a little :)

Ughh, if your feet are sore - everything is sore

They don't hurt at all during the day - it's when they wake me from a dead sleep with the cramping/extreme flexing that it's pretty close to intolerable. Once I can get it under control it's usually ok for the rest of the night (sometimes not :( ) Maybe I need orthopedic shoes lol

Happy anniversary birdiegirl, have an awesome time.  Karen sore feet are the pits, have you tried a nice foot bath?  Been a busy day so far - did my first yoga class in over 3 years this morning! Then I went to the farmers market and to the new tangers outlet mall that opened up last week.  I don't understand outdoor malls being built in Canada, to me it makes not sense in a country where it is not nice to walk for half the year.  Parking was insane!  Tonight I am going to a buffet and the casino with some new friends, my first buffet since surgery.  I am going to stick to stuff I know I can eat with a focus on protein and a little veg, possibly a little fresh fruit.  I will let you guys know how it goes tomorrow.  Bought some garlic scape pesto today at the farmers market, which consists of organic garlic scapes, almonds, olive oil, and parmesan cheese.  It was a favourite before surgery, hopefully I can still have it.  Plan to add it to soups, stews, salsa, melba toast, etc.

Unfortunately I have tried just about everything for the Charlie-horse-foot-thing. Some days (NIGHTS) it's worse than others. I believe it's due to potassium deficiency which is a sometimes-result of the meds I have to take for my liver, despite supplementing each day (and magnified with the way my feet are positioned in some shoes during the day). When it happens I take additional potassium, drink a huge vat of water and walk it off. lol

I've been thinking of taking up yoga, glad you enjoyed it! As for the buffet dinner - I find a buffet the easiest meal out. I can pick and choose small amounts of stuff I like and get a nice (balanced) variety.

How often so you get the foot thing?  Sounds like you have a solid plan in place, hope it helps you feel better soon.  Yoga was nice but I took it easy as my body is not used to the movement.  My favourite part was the end where they get you to pay attention to your breathing while doing gentle stretching.  The downward dog and lunges were hard and some I just can't do, my body does not move that way.  Knee was mostly ok but is till tender during the kneeling stuff.  I did it at goodlife as it is included in my membership.  I would do it again, it was nice to see how much more easily I can move now. I guess the main issue I have with the all-you can eat buffet is the price - 17.99 for a cup of food seems like a lot to me, and since these are new friends I do not want to pull out my rny card to get the kiddie portion, prefer to keep some stuff to myself for the time being.  But you are right, a buffet gives a lot of variety so I will be able to pick and choose, which is fun.  I will let you know how it goes but I am sure it will be fine.  The only times I have had trouble with eating so far have been when I stopped paying attention when I was eating.  Never a good thing!
