Crutches and Couch Again
T his blog entry sat around in my drafts folder for a couple of weeks! I guess I should finish it and publish it. My joints have been terribly and painfully inflamed for the past week or so... knees, ankles, toes... I spent a few days on the couch because I could not walk at all. I was on crutches for a short while and then a cane. Now I am just limping around. My left elbow is beginning to get inflamed too. Sheila already has elbow problems. According to our doctors, these joint problems are likely related to long-COVID issues. Sheila is dealing mostly with inflamed joints in her upper body while I am mostly dealing with inflamed joints in my lower body. My elbow isn't feeling so great at the moment though. We'll see how this develops. I did some work in the yard today and, by the time I finished for the day, my right foot felt was though it were broken. I came inside, showered and then hit the couch again with an icepack. It is feeling a bit better now... rathe
