Cellar Scribblings

[CellarDweller]

I was supposed to go out to meet friends for dancing and a show by Laura Enea and The Rios Sisters.  (both dance acts that were hits in the clubs in the early 90s)

I got out of the shower, and slipped on the wet floor.  I didn't fall, but I pulled something in the heel of my foot.  It's not swollen, or discolored, but when I walk, pain shoots up the back of my heel and ankle.

So it looks like a quiet evening at home.

Poor Chuck!  No dancing for you. 

Alternate ice and heat (ten minutes at a time) should help, along with ibuprofen.  Hope the heel feels better tomorrow! 

[Sason]

Oh no. Bad luck, Chuckie. Hope it gets better real soon. 

[Kelda]

hope it feels better today chuck.

Be careful, Chucky.  When you used the words "pain shoots up", it reminded me of when I got (and of course, still have) sciatica.  Starts out in the foot, either from an injury or from doing something your body wasn't used to doing.  I got it from living in Belfast and my daily exercise was walking up and down rather steep hills where my boyfriend lived.  All my life before that, I only walked on flat ground.  All of a sudden, one day, I'm standing at the counter cutting up veggies for dinner and a lightning bolt shoots up from my left foot to my left hip to my spine.  Even after a great deal of physical therapy over there and back here, I doubt that I'll ever be able to have any sensation at all in my pinky toe on my left foot and in my entire left calf.  You could stick a needle in there and I wouldn't notice.

I'm not sure how exactly you landed.  But please monitor yourself carefully for any numbness or continued shooting pain, and see a doctor as soon as possible if you notice it.

Your pole-dancing days are far from over, I'm sure, but be careful, my friend.

Lost two more pounds.  In one month's time, I've lost 20 pounds.    An average of 5 pounds a week. 

4 more pounds, and I'll be halfway to my goal.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!  I've got a heating pad for my back, and I have it on the floor, with the back of my heel resting on it.  It's helping, and my foot feels better today.

Mandy, thanks for the advice.  I'll watch for the shooting pain, but it hasn't gone up as far as yours did.  It stops before it goes past my ankle.  I suspect it's an achielles tendon issue.

Hi, Chuck!

And hi to everyone who comes to Chuck's blog.  Hope everyone is well.

I just got back from a trip, saw my mother and sister in Colorado, as well as seeing some Brokies in Denver and NYC.  So I'm borrowing Chuck's blog for a minute to say hi to everyone, because it will be a long time before I can catch up everywhere on this forum.  I'm leaving again in less than two weeks for the Boston AIDS walk, and then to go back to Colorado.
