Another good night. I slept most the night. Quite a bit of pain after the 4 am pills for some reason. It is now after breakfast and just the normal hurt now. Speaking of breakfast, I ate 1/4 waffle, two extremely thin slices of bacon and a bowl of cherrios. Plenty and now I am ready to face the morning PT. -- Morning pt went very well. After I headed to the shower, that felt extremly good. When done I put on the support hose that still had the toes in them and my street shoes. I want to know if the meds are stopping the horrible pain in my feet and I really do think it is helping, Yaaa! -- Lunch was called and I went down to the dinning room, there sat the tray hauler with the trays and no one to serve them. I opened it and mine was not there, niether was Ed's. About that time one of the other patients came by saying there was a VFW serving a BBQ lunch down on the first floor. I'm in. We headed down and it was the Ft Meade VFW ladies auxiliary and it was great. There was seasoning on the BBQ, wish I could of ate more, first thing with seasoning since arriving here. -- Now for the shoes, it worked great, I am now back in the room with my foot propt up and ice bags on the knee, but the shoes were no problem at all. Felt strange having shoes on for the first time in three weeks. Now to watch a little football. -- I got out a craft kit I was given by the lady who runs the recreation room and started putting it together, a pair of moccasins. Never dreamed that it would take 5 hours to lace a set of moccasins. While working on them I did a little day dreaming and it reminded me of when I was a kid at church camp, we always had similar projects, belts, billfolds and the likes. Actually those memories from growing up with the youth group at the Ellettsville First Baptist Church are some of the best memories I have from my youth. While stitching the moccasins I had my foot propped up on the bed with an ice bag on my knee for quite a while. I started this project before noon and sat in the chair until they called for supper and after I came back and finished the project. They fit and they are comfortable. Now for the leg, I have not had a pain pill since before pt this morning and I really do not have a lot of pain. I don not one to take any until I just have to. This has been a really good day, however I cannot believe how tired I am from sitting here doing the craft kit, I feel like I worked all day. Oh will, I don't have any dances to go to tonight so I will just take a break for the rest of the day. --- My day is done, I am laying down watching football where I shall basically stay till morning. Till Tomorrow
