That is some cool positive advice the Lone Crab gives. My take is that the body needs time to restore energy and wellness. It is hard but looks like accepting things you can not change. Writing about the feeling you are experiencing on bed rest could be a topic to get back writing and doing everything you are not able to do now. Hang in there. Lifting you up in prayer. ((hugs))
My feet swell sometimes. I've had DVT twice in one leg, once in the other. I'm very careful. But yesterday... there was a swollen bruise on my right leg. I pressed it to see how badly swollen. It indented more than 1/2 inch but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
I know I sound bitter.
Hope the knot is minor and discoloration normal. And... hopefully the doctor can come up with a plan that suits you.
As for school... I'm too old unless it's free. I learn a lot by traveling and reading articles on the internet and by talking with people about their experiences. Textbooks have limits.
My feet happen to feel just like that today. I had to go out to a doctor appointment and the post office. It didn't take much to get mine screaming in pain. btw: stepping on a Lego is the worst! You probably already know that.
My nephew turned 21st a couple of weeks ago & I'm taking him & Ravyn to Medieval Times today. I dusted the cobwebs out of my wallet & sprung for the Knighting Ceremony as a fun surprise. My only concern is that he's autistic and sometimes gets overwhelmed by too much noise, too many people, or just having a lot going on around him. It'll probably be okay. He'll wear the coat he never takes off (like a security blanket) & the new headset he got as a gift (drowns out noise). Plus, Ravyn will be there & they're more like siblings. Her presence always reassures him. I wanted to take my mom & hubby too, but those damn tickets have gone up over the years! Thankfully, my ex-husband bought Ravyn's ticket, so I just paid for me & Zachary. Of course, you can upgrade your tickets to include all kinds of stuff, but we'll probably be better off with basic tickets. Being a little on the fringe of things is better than being smack dab in the middle as far as Zachary is concerned. It's been too long since we've done something as a family. I'm going to plan something soon. Besides, it gives me an excuse to see Ravyn!
