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.
I'm starting to think my muse was a victim of Covid-19. I may have written a total of 3 things in 2021 and so far this year, the only writing that's been done has been in self-help workbooks and my journal. Those thoughts have been on a near-daily basis, however, so that's something. I actually have 2 journals; a personal one that could be used to have me either committed or arrested and one for my girls that's to be read after I go to the great library in the sky. Wait, I almost forgot the letters I've been writing my husband for nearly a year. I don't plan on him ever reading those but it's been very therapeutic. I guess I should say I haven't done any creative writing lately. Mainly I've been examining every aspect of my life. Which is a long overdue, eye-opening, hair-raising merry-go-round ride. I've also been reading more than usual. I need to update my Goodreads and do some product reviews. My little side gig has been keeping me pretty busy too. What started as an occasional way to make a few bucks has quickly grown into an actual business. It hasn't overwhelmed me completely yet, but I do struggle to balance my time. At the moment, I'm trying to find the perfect new business name so I can incorporate it. Basically, I've been half-assing everything since 2019 but now's the time to be a serious adult.
Well, that's about all I have to offer up today.
