Surgery recovery week

1/31
Had my foot MRI today. What crazy stuff we have for health insurance. The doctor originally told me I would have a "contrast", when they called they said I wasn't going to have a contrast so no special instructions. When I got there they said I needed a contrast and shouldn't have had ibuprofen. I told them I've been taking it around the clock and was just about to again. They said not to and because it is hard on the kidneys as is the contrast. Oh boy!

I had never had an MRI and didn't know what to expect - and they didn't bother either. It took over an hour and my butt bone was killing me and I wasn't supposed to move. Sometimes it sounded like a drumming, others like a submarine submerging and also like a space ship. Anyway, it is not broken or fractured or even my bursa, but inflammed tendon and fat pad - whatever the f that is. No help but no running for 6 weeks - excuse me I haven't been running for almost 8 weeks now for crying out loud!

Not too much better, still feel like an old lady. Walked maybe .5 mile overall. Ha Blue's funeral service and went to lunch while waiting for the ashes. It was very sad and exhausting. Bethany is very sad. It was good that Audrey was there too.

Tried a .35 mile walk. During it I didn't feel I was going so slow, maybe about 75 years old. Stomach tight but not so hunched over. Had to take Blue in for euthanasia, he was very sick overnight and we thought he might stop breathing. It was very sad but necessary. I feel wrecked emotionally. The car ride, although not walking, jostles things around and causes me to tighten all the time. It's about 2 PM now and everything hurts down there. When I lift my left leg just to walk it tugs really hard. I must have overdone it. I honestly can't believe someone said they could run two week after this type of surgery. Need to nap now...
