I went on a tour of Mineo on Sunday, and made it through with no real problems. I didn't carry anything. My main job was to keep up and I did. I went up and down stairs and hills and wasn't dragging way behind. I was so pleased with myself. Cody carried our day-pack, Ethan had one of his own. The boys were buddies and Cody kept up with Norah. I cannot express how happy I am that I was able to power through. I had no problems with incontinence. I had a little bit of a limp by the end of the day, but I expected that. Only issue I had health-wise was eating too much, too fast at the Agriturismo that I vomited and someone at our table saw me and questioned Cody about it. He told them I had lap-band and they didn't question too much more. When I have those episodes it's not actual food I'm vomiting, but the thick mucousy saliva that is produced to try to get whatever I've gotten stuck to go down. In this case it was the pasta. I have to be super careful with pasta and in my glee of gluttony I ate too fast and did not chew my food enough. This is a continuous lesson I have to keep learning...over and over and over. You'd think after 3 years, I'd have it figured out.
Today is Wednesday and I do believe I'm getting some feeling back in my left foot. It seems that it's not as heavy and swollen feeling as it was. I can only speculate that it's the walking and vitamins. I'm trying to stay on top of the B12 complex and fish oils. I'm starting to get hope back that possibly by May (one year since Cauda Equina) I may actually have marked improvement.
