Wednesday

Lee got me a massage last night, to work some of the kinks out. I walked out of it feeling as if I weighed half what I walked in weighing, and able to stand up straight. Drove home. Sat on the couch. And went to bed with most of the kinks back in - they're worse this morning. A bit over 2 weeks more of this. I will be a hunchback by the time we drive away.

156.0 this morning. Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• lemon jello water
  
• the usual supplements
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• bacon
  
• almonds
  
• a glass of red wine
  
• ham and potato casserole (with cheese, and supposedly thickened with rice flour)
  
• fruit salad with Miracle Whip dressing
  
• 5 chocolate almonds
  
• a small bowl of strawberry ice cream
  

I'm so annoyed that my back felt great last night for all of an hour. It's better than yesterday now, I think, but not good. In addition, despite taking potassium and magnesium both morning and evening, I had 3 ankle cramps last night, at least 2 of which I had to get up and walk off. 

I know there's an end to this. But it's hard to see. And honestly, it could be delayed. Which would be simply awful. I had the massage therapist work on my jaw last night, and she pretty much disassembled my face. It seemed to have worked - at the time. But it was feeling locked up a little bit again this morning. 

If this is the new normal for us, right now, I don't like it much.
