Today was a good day, but Team Latvia lost the Olympic Latvian Hockey Match against The Chezch Republic.
And here's the long
I consider today a great day.
I am able to drink coffee again, so when I had to get up at an ungodly hour to get to an early morning meeting, that slug of coffee got me going just fine. I felt energetic and got lots of good work done. I felt like I helped to solve several problems and finished the day with a good plan for Monday.
I'm carefully monitoring my feet. I've been on the Elavil since the neuropathy first started, so I really don't know if I would have had foot pain or not. I do know that the symptom that started me on the medication was the sudden feeling that my feet were on fire! I would take off my socks and stand on the cool tile just to get them to stop burning so much. I seem to remember that I would wake up from sleep and my feet would be burning. It's hard to imagine it because I also have a memory of just falling into a sleep so deep that I hardly woke for any reason. The Elavil put a stop to that burning feeling right away, and so far that hasn't returned. I just need to stay aware and not let myself get uncomfortable. If I do start having the burning again, I'll get right back on the Elavil. My feet have actually not seemed to change very much since I stopped the medicine. I do have a few more of those twinges. I hope that's a good sign that the feeling is coming back!
In the meantime, go Team Latvia!
They just lost ... we are still fans here in this house.
