This week

Sunday: Feel so happy about being back home that I walk around 4 miles with the boyfiend, here and there in the neighborhood

Monday: Wake up unable to put weight on my foot. Eventually walk it out so it doesn't hurt *much* when I walk

Tuesday: Walk to medical appointment and back with the boyfiend -- again, a little over 4 miles

Today: Wake up unable to put weight on my foot

Advice nurse says it's probably a strain and I should elevate and ice it. Annoying. I'm gonna call a cab to take me to get the radioactive iodine in a few minutes. I think this is a case in which it's okay to blow some money on some comfort.

Radiation update

Discovered today why the scan was moved to Friday and the new location. Turns out the pharmacy was out of the isotope they used last time (I want to say I-131) and they had to use a different one (I-123?). The new isotope has to be read by a more sensitive machine, which Kaiser has in a different location from the one I usually use, and it has to be read two days after taking the pill, not one day. So there's that mystery cleared up, anyway.

Tomorrow, I'll go see stonebender, then pick up the rental car. Friday, the scan and then a shopping trip for a thing I'm cooking for on Saturday.

I feel pretty good as long as I don't try to walk too much. Things could be a lot worse.

(And thanks again, kightp, for the icon. It still makes me smile.)
