It's the little things...

After my successful morning of errands yesterday, I had a rough afternoon.  My balance was not so hot.  Lots of wall-walking for me.  Patience, patience.

So this morning I took a shower.  When I got out I noticed that my pre-Liberation  purple right foot was only dark pink.  I wondered if the color was due to the heat, or standing for a nice long shower, or both. 

At dinner time I STOOD for a good 15-20 minutes chopping veggies and doing other meal prep.  This is important to note because I usually must sit to do these tasks.  I mentioned it to my husband who, of course, was well aware of it without my needing to point it out.

We sat for dinner and I pulled off my socks and shoes.  My feet were both normal color!  So this very unscientific experiment tells me that it is heat + standing that makes my feet colorful.  Standing alone doesn't do it.

Of course, it would have been smart if  I had tried this little test pre-Liberation.  If it was always like this, then my results are meaningless.  I'll have to mention it to my neuro.  He is a little obsessed with purple feet.  No, not like a fetish, you sickos!  He really believes that they are a great visual indicator of CCSVI.  At least that's what he tells me. ;o) 

So lets just focus on the fact that I was able to stand for so long to prepare dinner! 

My glass is always half-full, people.  Maybe one day soon I will actually be able to fill it with wine!  For years now my mantra has been, "I can drink or I can walk.  But I can't do both."

O.K. that's all the minutiae I have for today.  Tomorrow is my one week anniversary!
