My leg is sore and today some discomfort from nerve damage. I still at times have issues from getting up from a sitting position.

Have doctors prescribed you anything. I don't know if it would help but Gabapentin has helped me with nerve pain. Only thing is is that you have to take it for about 2 to 4 weeks to see results. I'm glad I stuck it out because it has helped me.

Had to cut my meds way back as I was depending on them way too much. Now none other than my normal pills but nothing for my leg at all. My friend "Ken" had the same surgery I had and lives on pills still. His was 1 day before mine. His developed an infection from the staples used and they have had to go back in 2 more times to clean it out.

I see. I feel like that at times too. I get tired of all the meds. I take.
 
Mixed feelings today. Had good visit with my GP yesterday. Physically doing well, despite usual aches/pains aging has brought.

Emotionally dealing with grief. Long time (15+ years) cyber friend died this week. Once initial shock wore off, and tears stopped i realized (again--as i did after each of my 2 deceased older sister died in the last decade) that i will be dealing with this repeatedly in coming years.

Between my own age and the fact that while i have younger friends (tho youth never a guarantee) most of that group i knew from Eons that migrated to FB are within a decade of my age one way or the other, so it is to be expected.

But i've been meditating daily since January and more times per day as the months have passed and everything tends become more manageable for me when i'm doing that. Not that i don't have moments of frustration or grief---but let myself feel them fully, consider what i CAN do to remedy or relieve the situational stress and then let the bad feelings pass.

Grief has profound effects on our health and it is a struggle not to let it.
 
Sore leg I have been doing a lot of Physical therapy lately, maybe to much! I feel way over due wanting my life back but 7 months to go they say. For the most part I try to stay active and do most of my normal things I like to BUT I have several light bulbs out that will take a ladder to get to I do not feel safe on that yet. It is just annoying to me not to do it.

Anxious. Sometimes I have a lot of anxiety during the night and I can't sleep. It's not just emotional, I have restless legs, and restless everything, really. I've tried lots of different things but nothing helps for more than one or 2 nights, then it's back.

If you haven‘t done this already, talk to your doctor about Trazodone, an antI depressant that should help with your anxiety and is often prescribed as a sleep aid.

Hate to be a drag, but
Awful. Depressed. Sad. Miss Buffy so much. Not because of what she was but who she was. The sweetest best girl ever. Have a lump in my throat and pain in my heart.

Our male Birman Willy spent a good part of his life asleep in my lap. I loved that cat more than any other. When the time came a vet came out to the house and he died in my lap. I will never forget watching his eyes dilate as he passed. I still think about him.
