tvordlj We had a long weekend with a holiday Monday. It was crap for me. A dry tickle cough turned into a chest cold. I stayed home from work on Friday and hacked my way through the weekend though thankfully, it hasn't really hung on as long as usual or turned into a head cold like I thought it was going to on Saturday. Perhaps taking Buckley's mixture for the cough and rubbing Vicks on my chest made that much difference, I don't know. I also drank hot honey and lemon as well and I've been taking iron pills so perhaps that pumped up my immune system a bit. Whatever worked, it did the job. I still have a lingering cough but it never got as bronchially bad as it has in the past. I felt guilty calling in sick on the Friday of a long weekend but it's not as if I call in sick all the time or on Fridays/Mondays. I only ever lose maybe 2 or 3 sick days a year, if that, as a rule though I did lose some earlier in the year because my back was out.
On another plus, my heel seems to be improving quite a bit. The plantar fascitis I had has been lingering and seemed to have got stuck at the 40 or 50% recovery stage. Last week during Tall Ships, we went to the waterfront twice and walked and I thought I would really pay for it but instead, it seems to have pushed the recovery up a notch. It's far less twingey and sore in the daytime and even at night, just only a bit. I think standing for a longer time might be harder on it but the walking was ok. I think i would classify it as a solid 80% recovered or more which is very good because it should be all ok for our trip in November and our day trips and road trip in September with Malcom. I can now start to try to get out for walks and build up the cardio again without fear that I'll be hobbling around. My back is feeling fairly good, too, as good as it generally gets. I should schedule an adjustment soon, though, to keep it in line. Gotta get my hair cut as well, that was going to happen on Friday but i had to cancel.
Onward and upward. going to borrow Mom's car on the weekend. G. needs to get bloodwork again and we want to go to a movie, probably Dunkirk and probably on the IMAX. Also need to go to Walmart or Canadian Tire because we need house things like a new mop and bucket and a new cooking pot. I burned one of them by turning the a burner on under an empty pot! Doh!
