day 167 - I am molting

I took my boot off yesterday and my leg had so much dandruff that I had to vacuum it up.  A little pile of dead skin, pretty gross if you ask me.  I have been religiously putting lotion on, but that just isn't helping.  And itches - boy does my leg itch now.  I have been like a dog when you scratch their belly - I think that is how it feels when I scratch my leg - so good.

So the pain level with the boot is zero, but without the boot I have occasional twinges of pain, I worry mostly that I am going to pull the bone apart, but the doctor said that is not going to happen at this time.  I am really confused why I can't do more, if the bone is set what is it going to hurt?  I am not going to be pulling any ligaments, I just don't get it.

I made a commitment to walk nine miles this week - but I don't think that is going to happen.  It stormed and now it looks like we might have blue sky and I am feeling a bit lazy.  We will see what happens.  I would have to put on a walking shoe on my other foot and I don't really feel like doing that either.  And on top of that I don't know if I can control the 100 pound dog without both my feet, and if I walk the dog walks with me.

I did buy a new pair of shoes, I bought them for the name Fairhaven.  I am guessing that these are going to be the perfect pair of shoes, but I couldn't get it on my foot to see if it fits.  Oh well.  Does Z have a time limit on returns?

  1. What's Z? Time limit on returns - pffaahhhh!!!! We got no stinkin returns!

    9 miles is ambitious but you can do it IF you get the shoe to be about the same height as the walking cast. I wish I could go with you, but it's tough enough for me to walk to BART.

    By the way, the BofA had their annual "climb the stairs to the top" - 52 floors up & down. I wonder how many heart attacks this year.

    We need to weigh Taya - she was getting trim.
