I’m hurting in places that shouldn’t know anything about pain. It’s definitely a struggle to get into a pain-free position … and then the physical therapist shows up and introduces additional torture methodologies. I thought it’d be about my knees and the area associated with the knee surgery. So,why does my right heel have the sensation of walking through fire? My sciatic nerve on my right leg is complaining with a very loud voice. According to the therapist that pain can only be managed through exercise.

The calves on both feet are very painful and they’re both a bit swollen. The cure? Exercise followed by ice and lots of it. The therapist came yesterday morning at 8 am and again today at about 1:30 pm. It doesn’t really stand to reason, but doing some of the exercises did indeed help the pain. there’s probably some kind of a life lesson in all of this … but it hurts too much at the moment to try and reason it out. Nina’s gone to the drug store for a replenishment of what they do best: good drugs. She’s been quite the trooper!
