What's New Saturday?

Nope, it's my left foot (the right knee is the artificial one). This acts up occasionally, and usually if I can get to the chiropractor and he adjusts me, it's better ... or if I get to the pain doc and get a shot, it helps. With me unable to drive, I can't get to the chiropractor, so I've tried massage and heat from the recliner; it's better since I got up this morning but boy oh boy, did it hurt this morning ... it used to be in the big toe; now it's in the heel. I really do think it's a pinched nerve, though. I know I have some nerve damage from the compressed spine ... it would have been worse if I hadn't lost 180 pounds ... can you imagine? Wow, I wouldn't be walking now if I hadn't lost that weight. (Well, I can walk, but it's with pain.)

Bless your heart Eileen! We are in the same crummy weather system as you only not getting pounded with snow (we are currently in the freezing rain to be followed by the snow and the frigid cold). Stay in and keep warm.

I am concerned for you and the tingling foot. I have plantar faciatis in the right foot and had 2 shots of cortisone in my foot. After the 2nd shot my toes (3 middle ones) would unnexpectadly and uncontrollably curl under and trip me. I had a really nasty fall due to this. I thought it was related to the cortizone shots. Well today, my left foot did it!!! I fell hard. Luckily I hit the couch! Now I am wondering if I have a pinched nerve somewhere? This is very frightening. I hope you get your issue resolved dear and don't fall and hurt yourself! Best wishes!

Crummmmmmy winter weather day here in central Ohio.

BUT ... on the good side, I managed to eat eggs for the first time in 8 months. I have had difficulty eating through most of my 8 months since WLS - RNY. I have been so much better lately! I just hope my pouch will be accepting of this egg experience (it rebelled in the past!!!!!).

Also on the good side, I am full of energy and am dancing around and getting things done! YAY! Spirits are good in spite of the crummy weather.

Have a wonderful weekend all!
