stupid feets

Grrrrrrrrrr 🙁

Not sure if I walked too much at the weekend, the reducing dose of steroids is responsible… or some combination of the two… but by FSM my feet hurt!!!

Index toes are swelled up again, its sore just to stand up. Frustrating isn’t the word.

Not sure what to do, the specialist is in 3 weeks, or ring the doctor? Maybe if I rest another couple of days (still planning to swim tonight) it’ll go down again?

Uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Shall I keep applying for jobs?? I couldn’t wear smart shoes right now, it’d almost kill me. 🙁

UPDATED: Well, they’ve come to me, had my phone ringing all afternoon with people wanting to put me forward for jobs… so thats a start I guess.

UPDATED 2: Oooh look my swim plugin is working!

Still feeling twitchy on the steroids and nt sleeping as much, joints are still creaky but its all good.

My only concern is that as I come off the steroids it comes back, cross fingers.

steroid fun

“I’m on steroids and thinking of starting a career in baseball” – Woooooooooo! Haha…. erm ok…

Like I said on my show last night, the steroids are making a difference… I can almost see tendons again on my feet… the knees moving better. My joints still ache, but its upwards baby.

I might be imagining it but I feel more… erm… edgy? Certainly the show last night was a bit more savage than usual, with more energy… I find it harder to get to sleep and I’m always awake (properly awake) within 8 hours (I had found I needed 10hrs sleep)… I’m glad I’m on a gently reducing dose for the next 5 weeks… I have to take the dose first thing in the morning and its GO GO GO from then on! haha… ut oh, I hope I won’t be doing a Matthew Perry (or was that tramadol? been there done that anyway…)

…moving on…

Got a gig booked in for Easter Sunday, feel ready to start doing more stuff (like swimming – tuesdays 730 anyone?) – time to sit down and sort out exactly what’s important to me.

1x swim partner wanted

I need to start swimming once a week to get my fitness n strength back.

Anyone fancy a weekly swim?

I could go on my own, but I’d rather go with someone else, at least for the first few weeks.

Great opportunity for someone looking to get fit maybe… having someone else motivate you to go every week really keeps you going!

Answers on a courier pigeon… email… comment… txt… whatever, to the usual places.
