malnpudl at 08:51pm on 05/11/2013So I got all excited about podficcing again and then promptly borked my shoulder, which made editing in Audacity (or pretty much anything else involving mouse and/or keyboard) out of the question for a while. All righty, then! So much for plans.
I suck at moderation, so I was on almost complete computer sobriety for a while there.
Anyway, it's pretty much recovered, but I'm still being polite to it and not overdoing things that made it cranky. Reinjury bad, and all that.
In brief:
* Shoulder better! Mostly.
* Blood sugar misbehaving, climbing to 150-175 range even though my eating & meds haven't changed. Am vexed and perplexed; also concerned.
* Therefore, I've cut way back on carbs, like in the early days after diagnosis. It's helping. Remembering what hungry feels like.
* Also bought a fairly schmancy exercise bike that I kind of love already. Working up slowly -- riding twice a day -- started with five minutes at a time -- up to 18 minutes today (day 4) -- always icing knees afterward and so far they're not mad at me. Yay!
* Chafing of the seat bone region, however, may be a problem. Does anyone sell padded, anti-chafe bike pants/shorts/whatever for a size 26 woman? Why do I think that fat people are not their target market? Research required; suggestions very much welcome.
* I have missed you all! Feel free to point me to journals or posts that I should read to get caught up on important stuff in your lives. Did I mention that I'd missed you? Because I did. I really missed you.
