Rant #3,256: Many Rivers To Cross

Tuesday was a very strange day for me, and a lot of it had nothing to do with my leg.

I actually made several gains yesterday related to my injury.

I seem to be able to maneuver around a bit better with the leg, and I actually was able to go onto the computer and go to work, albeit for around an hour or so.

I also was able to go to the bathroom, which is always good, learning to maneuver my body so I could go.

On the negative side, I felt a little under the weather for just about the entire day.

It began in the evening, when I could not sleep at all, and it just carried over to the day, where I simply felt out of it through the evening.

I never even read the newspaper, I barely watched TV, and I really did not feel like myself fir the entire day.

I even threw up two times, not much each heave. But the last time, I definitely hurt my stomach, and it really hurt a good part of the day.

It affected my sleep, and I again kept my wife up for a spell, until we tried an old fashioned remedy thst seemed to work.

My father had an ulcer, and one way that he protected himself from stomach problems was to drink a glass of milk before my parents would go out to dinner.

He did this for decades, and the milk's coating of his stomach worked for him.

I tried this, drinking a glass of milk at about 3 a.m. in the morning, and I am happy to say thst while I still feel the pull in my stomach, the milk did soothe the pain.

And the best thing about it all is that I went right back to sleep, slept for about four hours and did not get up until about 7:30 a.m. ... and my wife slept too.

And I feel like my normal self today. 

My wife thinks all the pills I was taking finally got to me yesterday, so it was like a "withdraw" day, because I used them up the day before, so yesterday was my first day off of them.

I do feel like I have a Charley Horse in my tummy, so I will just have to wait that out ... and milk will be my weapon to combat this.

I love milk, so I have no problem drinking it all day if I have to ... I will drink it until the cows come home if that is what it takes!

Physical therapy comes today, so I am psyched to show off the progress I have made.

Onward and upward!
