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.
Apparently this feeling of not wanting to do anything but feeling like I should be doing something is called restlessness. According to the almost a therapist I saw via virtual visit. I assumed being restless involved anxiety, but she said it's probably because I'm bored. According to her, I need to take charge of something at work so that I would feel accomplished. Don't have a job? Well, I should get one because being productive will help me too. So I told her I was feeling accomplished enough, I was in the middle of research for next week's lesson plan. I'm combining history, geography, and agriculture for a special unit of survival skills.
WTF is up with this productivity craze?
So yeah, if anyone needs me to take charge of something let me know. I'll hop to it as soon as I'm done watching this living history series of life on an Edwardian farm.
