Today was cold. Our kid was off from school due to the weather and I watched her play The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and we worked on a LEGO set together. At one point, we boiled up some water in the microwave and I had her throw it into the air as I attempted to photograph the results. I didn't get anything good because I can't bend low and I became super cautious after nearly eating it on the ice.
After coming inside I monitored my foot. It's taken most of the day to warm up. I texted the Abbott representative and relayed to her how I was feeling. She was mostly interested in my pain level. I told her it was at least 50% better than normal which is truly remarkable, but I was hoping for more. I wanted the cold to the touch foot temperature to improve. I wanted the tightness to dissipate. The representative was pleased by my pain response. I then asked about the procedural pain and she told me that it should be better after a couple days. That pain is much better than last night and has gotten better throughout the day.
Hopefully by Sunday I'll have a good feel for how much the stimulator has improved my well being. It'll also help, I bet, that temperatures will climb about 60-70 degrees warmer since the cold directly affects my pain and today wasn't that bad at all.
