Living with CMT, Day 13,767

46.6° A challenging day.  So much fun.  Dr. Seuss day at school.  Good productive meetings in the afternoon.  A trip to the store to replace food-gone-bad in the warm fridge.  Home after five.  Then Ian hadn't seen me all day and the best way to reconnect with Mama is to climb all over her.  He's getting heavy!

Unhappy feet today.  Woke up sore and by evening they felt like nails were driven into the bones of my arches.  And the circulation issues burrowed deep with cold I couldn't shake even with the thickest socks.  Only now, in the quiet as kids sleep, with the electric blanket, am I feeling warmth again.  Tomorrow Ian and I will have a restful morning, okay, Ian?

I am a recent breast cancer survivor and I manage hereditary neuropathy (Charcot Marie Tooth or CMT). I live with my two teens, a black cat, two kittens, a bunny, and a furry little dog named Chewbacca. I enjoy adventures, creativity, and magic.
