Still on the Mend

I know it has been almost a week since my last post. To be honest, there isn’t a lot going on right now so there isn’t much to say. Still trying to get back to a more normal state. There are signs that things are moving in the right direction. My sleep scores have improved and some of the other things that Fitbit tracks are moving back to more normal ranges.

I really don’t know what I did to my calf but there has been improvement there as well. Still hurts like crazy but just not all the time. I’ve found that if I sit in a recliner with the leg elevated, the pain is much more manageable.

I have another week off this week and I hope that will be enough. I’m certainly blowing my chance to win valuable prizes because the studio is doing their semi-annual contest again where you get points for lessons and groups. Going to have two weeks with zeros though because there is no dancing in my immediate future.

On the plus side, the cat really appreciates my lack of evening activity. When I get tired of sitting at the computer, I just retire to the recliner to read and he’s right there to jump in my lap. Good thing I’ve found a couple of good e-books to read so I can read while the cat sleeps.

It is too bad that this all happened although I’m hoping it resolves itself so I can get back to dancing. I know we didn’t get to dance a lot but, even with the issues, I think we were doing very well and headed for another strong Showcase. At one point, we were doing a Bolero and we were dancing near an instructor from another studio and I could see he was watching us. Saw him do a little nod like he was impressed with what he saw.

And Thanksgiving is this week. I like this week before Thanksgiving although it seems like time starts to run at double speed after Thanksgiving. We already have things planned for Friday and Saturday and hoping to get the Christmas decorations up this weekend as well. Could also mean that it is another week between posts.
