After a long boring couple weeks resting my bad foot, I tried it out yesterday by going to a protest march in downtown Washington DC. I had a lot of fun and although the foot wasn't exactly happy, it is no worse, so that by itself is very encouraging (especially since just a few days ago I was despairing and thinking I might have to do the shockwave therapy even though it isn't covered by Medicare).

Today I need to wash the dishes. I don't have very many since I am traveling full time, but I was too tired after the march so this morning I had to drink my coffee from a small bowl. :oops:

Glad to know your foot is healing, but be careful.

@hollydolly Does the back pain have any connection to the CKD?
Click to expand...
I keep wondering if it has, but I visited the GP ( always a locum and always uninterested ).. because the back pain has been bothering me lately.. and she kept telling me to take Ibuprofen for the pain.. then when I finally got her to look at my record she said '' oh you have Stage 3 CKD''.. you can't take Ibuprofen.. .. but at no time did she mention that the back pain might be a result of the CKD.. which you'd think she might if it was a possibility..

I think it's muscular, I've been troubled by lower back pain for many years..

Didn't get to the apple picking today.
Hubby helped me with the cheap roller shades I bought.
Got those bedroom windows cleaned,, the drapes washed & put back up.

We ate dinner out .
Nice drive through the forest lots of colored leaves.

Glad you got that project done, and the pleasant outing,
but with my first reading of your post, I thought you'd said that
Hubby helped you with the cheap roller skates you bought!:oops::LOL:
I was wondering how he could help you with that! :unsure:o_O:sneaky::LOL::ROFLMAO:

precisely Captain... I take Ibuprofen once in a blue moon if I have something that's inflamed and will quickly react to the Ibuprofen.. say.. toothache for example.. but I cannot take it if it means taking more than a days' worth like this lower lumbar muscular pain.... .. sorry to hear you have stage 3 CKD as well.. how are they dealing with yours ?

Hollydolly, so far my CKD has been asymptomatic and fairly stable. Nobody has expressed undue concern and the main thing is to keep my BP under control - this seems to be OK. Apparently the older you are when it's diagnosed, the less like it is to progress to kidney failure and it's just a matter of insuring this doesn't happen.

see this is the same with me.. no-one has expressed any great concern over mine, except to say that they need to keep an eye on it .. which they never do.. . I don't have high BP.. so that's a good thing.. .. but I'm never sure what I'm supposed to do to ensure my stage 3 CKD doesn't get worse..

Today, we are going to the cemetery to see how the renovations look. It took several months for them to
shore up the hillside where my parents are interred. I hope the marker is in the same place, and that I can
find it. The hedge will not be there, but, I should recognize other identifiable markers. I'll take a photo to
send my brother out in Vancouver.
 
I went on my early walk around 6:45, temp was 52, light drizzle
My friend, Mary&I are going on our usual 'road trip' this morning to a grocery store 'Price Right'. I need a couple items, I usually go every other week,but can't this Thurs. I'm flying to NYC for my niece's wedding this weekend
The rest of my day weather permitting take another walk, read NYT,my book
 
I had a great weekend at the rink...really nice parties.

The trees are changing their dresses in MO, and the drive through the Mark Twain Forest was beautiful!

Dio has been sick with a head cold. I have been expecting to get it too, and I think I feel it coming on. I'm stuffed up and sneezy.

I'm hoping to get back later. Enjoy your day!
