I had eating discipline yesterday. On Monday, I did not, so it felt good to be back in form. I don’t worry about my indulgence days because even at their worst, they are nothing like the days of a bazillion calories that were once my every day. I’m definitely not rebounding into bad habits.
On the foot front, my right foot is slowly getting better. Yesterday, I took the bandage off painlessly and there was no gushing of blood. However, the wound still looks raw and nasty, so I spent much of yesterday with my right pant leg rolled up and my sock rolled down so that the wound could get some fresh air. I think fresh air is good for healing.
My left foot is never going to feel better. Bone spurs don’t get better on their own, they get worse as the spurs grow, so I must just suck it up when it comes to walking with bone spurs. I hope to see Jennifer, my nurse practitioner, on January 13th. I have an appointment at the clinic for pneumonia and shingles vaccines, but I’m not certain that it will be Jennifer giving me the shots. But if it is her, I’ll be asking about the corticosteroid shot for my heel.
Her Highness and I went for a short morning walk and then I came home to chill until lunch time. After everyone was fed, it wasn’t long until it was time to video chat with Issam, the manager of my bank. What a guy! He is so wonderful, I cannot do justice in words to express my feelings for him. He is so gracious and helpful. I am so lucky and grateful to him for giving Kris his business card so that he can help me with banking problems. (I cannot use the phone to call Vanity’s help line.)
He returned my access to online banking, he’s sending me a new member’s card and he’s expediting it himself, and he explained to me why I will likely be held responsible for my loss of four grand. I was so grateful to him for yesterday and all the times he has helped me, I wrote a letter praising him and I mailed it to Vancity’s CEO, Chief Member Experience Officer, Chief People Officer, and Executive VP, Inclusive Banking and Sustainable Wealth.
I was glad to have a series on Acorn to watch last night. I was thrilled to not have to search for something to watch. I needed the escape of a good story so as not to think about losing four grand.
Today is dull and cool, but we’ll walk with our friends and once we get walking it will be wonderful to be out and about in the forest. The rest of the day will unfold, hopefully, without a crisis: I don’t need to hear from another scammer, and I don’t want another power failure. I just want to be warm and cosy in the house all day.
