STRESS FRACTURE in my FOOT

   

  Today I went to see a podiatrist about the possible stress fracture in my left foot, the same leg I have sciatica in! My family doc wanted me to see him so they fit me in today!! I had gone to this doc in 2012 but I don't remember the reason.  He confirmed that I have a stress fracture but he doesn't want me to get a boot.  He is afraid that I will get hurt wearing a boot because I can barely walk with Parkinson's and Sciatica! I can just picture myself walking with a robotic type walk, having to lift my left leg with every move. I would be like a Mrs. Frankenstein! They are definitely beating me at every opportunity. The podiatrist told me to rest, put ice on my foot and try to stay off of it. He also gave me a steroid pack to take to reduce the inflammation. He gave me a numbing cream to put on top of my foot for the pain! He told me to ask my family doc for water pills to reduce the swelling in my foot! He also put me in compression socks! Just LOOK at these beauties!! Don't be jealous now!!!   

I am now officially a model for a homeless bag woman!  I am really a site NOT to be seen!! I had on  black capri pants and I had to walk out of that building and go out in public with my beige support socks that went up to my knees.
I have to wear the open toe variety!

Stiff Neck

Image
        Today I woke up with a stuff neck! It is so painful that I forgot about my sciatica for a while. I took two Tylenol every few hours and maybe that is why my sciatica didn't bother me as much as it usually does.  I could feel the pain in my neck every time I moved! I didn't realize how much I move my head all day long until it was painful to do so. I got up at 7:30 because I had workers coming to clean my kitchen floor. I just can't do it any more!  They didn't get to my house until 9:30 because they are also working on my driveway and had to get filler and blacktop stuff!   I cleaned the kitchen while I waited for them. Tomorrow I just have to clean the family room and run my Roomba! My Parkinson's was definitely front and center, even with my stiff neck. I kept freezing in one spot and my  balance was way off!. It is really annoying to be cleaning a toilet and feeling  like you are going to fall into the bowl!! Yesterday I chatt...

Beautiful Day at the Cemetery Visiting our daughter Amy

Image
         Today was an absolutely beautiful day, it was probably in the high seventies. When it's a nice day, we always take our folding chairs and sit at the cemetery for awhile. I had my book with me and Dan took the newspaper. On the front page was a sad story about two young women who used Heroin.  One young woman purchased the heroin and the other young woman died from an overdose.  The purchaser and her 17 year old sister left the young woman, an only child, in a bathroom in a fast food place when they couldn't revive her with water, etc. That young woman was found after they left and taken to a hospital where she died. Now,  the young woman who purchased the heroin  was sentenced to twenty something years in prison. Her 17 year old  sister testified against her and was set free after the trial  I think that is a rather severe sentence but a bright and beautiful young woman is dead forever.         ...

WARNING ABOUT GABAPENTIN AND PREGABALIN

Image
Yesterday we went to see The Christmas Miracle at a sight and sound theater! It was amazing and we all had a nice time. Olya and her boyfriend Matt came with us, they met  us there because Olya went home with Matt on Friday.  Olivia and her "friend" Anthony also met us there.  I think they all had a nice time at the show.  We went to eat at the Waffle House after the performance! Yesterday was NOT a bad day for me with PD, but it was really bad with Sciatica.  I think my Sciatica is worse when it is cold! And it was really cold here yesterday!  I have been wearing my scarf and my gloves in the house, I have no idea whether it is PD related or not. I have a gas insert fireplace and I run it constantly so my house is usually warm, not sure why I am so so cold.          Today we went with my sister and her three adult children to see the play Buddy the Elf! It was really cute, it sort of really gets us ...
