The visit to the clinic went well enough. They noted my recent progress, agreed to extend my antibiotics for two weeks, and figured that will do it.
I'm really looking forward for this to be over. I'm advised not to get back into my exercise program until the legs are fully healed. I can do that.
However, I now know how important it is that I get back in condition. It occurred to me that over the years I've suffered a number of injuries. Sure, they healed up, but there must be some long lasting damage. That's where the infections start up. However, as long as I keep moving my circulation is good and there aren't any problems.
This long healing process really inspired me to take better care of myself. It seems I can't get away with everything I used to.

You probably know that Vitamin C, cinnamon and turmeric are all good at reducing inflammation. I take all three.

DeleteIf they had told me when I was 20, the damage I was doing to my body would start to come back to haunt me at 55, would I have believed them? Don't know, but I wish someone had said something.
ReplyDeleteMy dad told me way back when I was kid doing all kinds of things that left me banged up. Did not listen to him, of course.
DeleteAs long as you stay aware. The brain may say "oh you can do that." The body's gonna tell you "like hell." Been there, done that. lol - Momlady
ReplyDeleteHa! That's how it goes sometimes. The spirit is willing but the flesh is beat to heck.
DeleteWe never get by with anything. It is all cumulative.
ReplyDeleteIt comes back to you when you aren't paying attention.
DeleteSure hope this latest round of antibiotics does the trick.
ReplyDeleteI'm making visible progress, so that's encouraging.
