Feet and Exercise

[cjsmith]

As expected I walked way too much at the square dance convention. Our room was far from the elevators, so checking out on Monday evening (round trip to room, round trip to car, round trip to Advanced hall for Rob's room key) cost me my last tip with Kikuchi-san (foot budget exhausted). Oh well. I am flared up now, but only on the right foot and not seriously, which means I'm learning. Go me!

I also swam every single day. Now I know why people do it. The hotel pool was comfortable! Seriously - it wasn't excruciating to get into it. It wasn't even BAD to get into it. I was impressed. As for the actual exercise, that was humbling. My record: five laps. (Yes, you can laugh now. I know it's really just relief that you don't have to live in this body.) Fortunately, I feel like I'd get better quickly if I kept it up. And the lovely bonus of swimming was that my feet always felt terrific 'cause I wasn't standing on them.

MRI tomorrow morning and Friday morning, one foot each.

Why aren't they doing both feet on the same day?

And, yes, warm pools are a gift from $diety. You need to hook a solar panel up to the one you have at your house :-)

They claim they can't. I don't know why. The gal booking the appointments apologized for the hassle. Eh, I don't much care -- I can drive to it and my boss knows why I'll be in late those days. I just hope it doesn't cost megabucks due to my icky insurance.

I had my breasts done on different days (a pain, given that it's an hour away, and one of my scans was at 7 am, the other at 9:30 pm). They told me it's that they need to inject contrast fluid mid-scan, then watch its progress through the part they're scanning, and if they do it on the same day, the stuff's still in the body, it's not a "fresh" contrast injection. They can only do one foot at a time, at any rate, so they inject the stuff, do one foot . . . then they can't see the contrast fluid go through the other foot. (I keep wanting to type "boob" for "foot.)

Ahhh, that makes sense! Thank you.

Boot? Foob? Yeah, foob! I like that new word and now want to find a meaning for it.
