I took my bicycle to the bike shop today to have them attach the new strap and they needed to keep it overnight, they were already working on two bikes and they need to decided the best way to attach the strap. Since my bike is a cheap Target bike it has hard rubber pedals instead of metal so the guy was afraid that screwing another whole may make the pedal too weak so I may have to replace with metal pedals. He is going to call me tomorrow to let me know what the deal is. If I can get my bike back tomorrow I plan to go to my friend's house and practice again, hopefully I will be riding on my own soon! I did ride my exercise bike and I find it easier to control my foot when I wear the support brace. And I was lucky I was wearing it when I came downstairs after riding and showering because I tripped over my cat's stuffed dog Otis! It is a big stuffed dog with sisal rope on top and Gabby loves to jump on him and scratch and bite him, I really need to video it one of these days! She must have been playing with him and moved him to the middle of the floor because when I got downstairs I tried to step over him but my foot didn't go as high as I thought and I stepped on him and twisted my ankle yet again. Thankfully I was wearing the support brace and it didn't hurt.
I took the Lunesta last night. I felt like I slept better but not longer, I woke up after about 6, 6 1/2 hours. Then I tried to sleep some more and when I finally got out of bed I was tired. Tomorrow morning when I wake up I am getting up. Maybe that will help. I used to notice before the surgeries that when i slept too much I would be tired. Maybe I am sleeping too much. Or maybe I just need to give the medication more time to work. I will keep updating. I also still got a headache today, but today's felt more like a sinus headache. Though right now it just feels like a tension headache. Who knows, I just have to keep track of all the different kinds to give an update to the doc. Plus I am really tired, not sure why, the only thing I did today was ride my exercise bike and take my other bike to the shop. We did stop at Trader Joe's and Ralph's but its not like we walked around that much. It is pretty hot out though, that could have something to do with it. Anyway, now I think I am just babbling so when I have more to say I will be back!
