Dinner party went swimmingly. Everyone left roughly 11 p.m., so no luck on getting on my bike, nor getting that hot bath as I had hoped.
I loaded the dishwasher, and tidied up as best as I could before hitting the hay.
The next day, I had an appointment to get molds of my feet taken for some custom orthotics. So I have one more week to go until they are ready.
I've been "keeping at it" with physical therapy 2x a week, and between the orthopedic shoes and PT 2x a week, I've felt a shift of sorts, until last Wednesday, when the therapists had me do exercises involving me standing full body weight, and balancing on one foot at a time--not something ideal for someone with a Morton's Neuroma. That unleashed more pain, gradually the next day, and that evening the pain was so bad, I could not attain any sleep whatsoever, and Friday I called out sick at work because I was exhausted and in pretty severe pain.
Saturday, I informed my physical therapist for the day of what transpired, and the cool thing about this PT group is, I am seen and treated by a team of therapists, so there's several different perspectives factored into my treatment and care, versus one person treating me throughout (as is/was the case at my previous physical therapy group).
Two nights ago, I had the distinct sensation that I didn't toss and turn as much, and at one point, I may have been aware that I was laying on my right hip longer than I have in a long while.
All this week I have been walking with my cane for assistance, until my orthotics come in, and also because the snow has made it challenging, and also? It's handy to have it on hand to give me a sense of security. ALSO? At work, it is a useful prop to remind some people that HEY! I HAVE LIMITATIONS!
I have continued with my CBT too, and it is really challenging me and my thought processes. I've said it a thousand times and will probably say it a thousand more, that I've spent a lifetime of repressing/suppressing unpleasant, negative, or traumatic things, so it's really a difficult challenge to try to tap into my feelings on a deeper level.
Coming up this weekend is my (now routine) Saturday physical therapy appointment, and an eye exam.
Tonight, I will rush around to get some grocery shopping done. And tomorrow before work I hope to get my laundry dropped off/picked up, and maintenance check dropped off, so then once my eye exam is over on Saturday, I can run home and relax.
That's the plan at least.
Progress is still being made on a molecular level.
Projected date orthotics will be ready on/about 3/12.
Follow up with P4.0 is on 3/25.
Follow up with the foot specialist is 5/1.
