Tuesday, Christmas with the Koehlers. No PT today, they're only open in the afternoon on Tuesday. Can't miss Taco Tuesday and presents...
I went for a walk in the morning, about a half mile I think. It was cold, mostly the breeze. We had a little snow on the ground, and most people don't clear their sidewalks, so I mostly walked in the street. It's nice to walk, but my leg not bending or not straightening all the way, my limp starts to get pretty bad quickly. Most of the afternoon is icing and massage, trying to alleviate the pain and swelling. Kym found me some lotion that helps with the pain. I'm still trying to not take many more pain pills than I really need.
Christmas with the family was nice, still hard sitting for any length of time with my foot on the floor. I did end up with a book I've really wanted to read, and a gift card too. It's still fun to see the kids opening gifts and playing with toys. Throwing wrapping paper balls around the room is fun too.
Still swollen and stiff, I keep thinking that I'm going to have to do the manipulation procedure again, if I want to get it all back. Tomorrows visit will tell. PT in the morning, and Dr Schinsky in the afternoon.
