I thought I was smart. I should have realized right away that this was highly inaccurate...but I decided Windows would update if my laptop's wifi was turned off. This is partially correct. It doesn't update, but it reboots anyway, tossing away anything I didn't save.

hydrotherapy was fun, only lasted 30 minutes, didn't feel so bad.
Feet didn't want to stand on tippy toes but I could do most of what they asked me to do.

it was only later when i tried to sleep my feet wouldn't get comfy. MY non broken foot seems worse.
Tried 3 times so far, it might work eventually.
Been a while since this happened. About a month... must have overdid it today. Easy to do when I didn't have any weight on foot.

I managed to walk outside pool as well, mainly as I had to, to get out. That didn't hurt at time. Made me wonder how soon before i can stop wearing boot. think i have a few more therapy sessions after the pool ones finish. So a few more weeks.

I've never done hydrotherapy, but one of my friend's has. I'd love to do the swim with dolphins therapy. They say dolphins can actually sense pain in your body. There's stories of them rubbing people's pain spots with their bodies and relieving it. Maybe they use their sonar, who knows, or maybe it's all bunk. I just love dolphins, so I think it would be cool just to swim with them.

Knocked on my butt today. Myself and my two kids went and got our COVID/Flu shots yesterday finally.

COVID shot always knocks me on my butt for a day afterwards and I actually got away pretty easy this time, as I wasn't totally wiped and feeling like I had the flu, but towards the afternoon here I started getting really fatigued and now I'm just in pain all over, so pretty much those flu-like symptoms I always get.

What's sort of funny is that my almost 6 year old took the shots like a champ. While the 8 year old fought and I ended-up having to pin him down while the nurse held his legs and jabbed him.

Anyway, in spite of my feeling ill, I managed to get some shopping done, as well as finish up some Commanders I'd been working on for my February tournament. I'm especially well pleased with how the Commander for the Armored Division's patch came out.

Example patch

Not many dolphins in an indoor pool. But on the same coin, Sydney had lots of shark attacks in recent weeks but luckily they too can't get into indoor pools.

Had to use the "stay awake until I can't" method of sleeping last night, foot reverted to how it felt a month before, i should have maybe put boot on as it didn't like touching anything - the inner layer of the boot suspends the foot so it doesn't touch much

Giving it a break now until Tuesday which is next Hydro session. They wanted me to tell them if foot hurt today... it just feels a little stiff

Yup, more like outdoor tank, the way SeaWorld does it.

@Beardy,
Are those toy soldiers hand painted by you?

COVID and flu at the same time? Yow. The COVID shot doesn't knock me on my butt (given my lifestyle, I'm not sure I would even notice that), it flattens me for a day. No way am I taking that along with a flu shot!

I generally get my COVID and Flu shots at the same time anymore. Yeah it's a bit of an extra hit, but manageable, and you only need schedule it once. That said, not sure if I was still working I'd want to do it that way.

That means (I think) you had almost no resistance left from the last shot. I may regret it, but I'm not getting any Covid shots for awhile. I almost never leave the house, and I'm over lying in bed with a high fever all night from getting the shot.

DoorDash has been disabled by snow. I may have to go to the store myself later.

My wife passed out when she got her first COVID shot, so we had to sit and wait. I rolled right through them, but i grew up with a lot of allergy problems that required shots a lot.

In other non-gaming news, wifes doing fine after surgery, been spending all week serving her hand and foot and then her bday is the 7th, followed by valentines on the 14th, shes lucky to have so much time in a row where i have to be her maid lol.

Reminds me of a horrible 6th grade experience I had. It was my first yr in a new school after moving out into the suburb area of where I grew up. The school was administering tuberculosis shots. They had us all lined up in the hallway. As I got closer to the room they were giving the shots in, the antiseptic smell started getting to me. I started feeling light headed about the time I got near the door, and just apparently passed out cold and hit the floor.

I wasn't at all worried about whether I'd hurt myself falling, or whether I would have side effects from the shot. I just didn't want everyone in my new school to think I was a wimp. It took a little while, but once they saw I was OK at sports, nobody poked any fun. In fact in Dodgeball, I'd often be the last man standing on my team.
