I'm sweating my brains out
and it is not because it's hot. I am sweating because I'm in pain
and it is not a lot of pain but pain just same.. I'm not sure if the
sweating is coming from issues with my butt. Or issues with my feet..
I'm pretty sure it's my feet… Quite surprisingly my butt feeling
pretty good the past couple of days. I'm sure it's my feet. This
backup chair man as foot pedals which articulate when going into
the reclined position. With my tone or spasticity the back of my
feet get drawn into the foot pedals and get pinched. The foot pedals
also in fine and this causes pressure on my feet as well all of
which I believe results in the amount of swelling I am doing – –
this sweating, of course, is a form of autonomic hyperreflexi pain
feedback look refocuses spinal cord injuries are susceptible. It's
supposed to be like a body early warning system to let you know
something is out of whack. And granted, this can be important I
guess. This is another one of those things that other folks with
disabilities that I was around growing up right after my accident
were susceptible to but not me for some reason. My buddy Gene seem
like he was always getting sweats just the weirdest reasons for his
tennis shoes to be too tight, or is Levi's and have a wrinkle he was
seated on. I just thought it was all so weird. Now it's happening to
me.. I have some sort of a barnacle one on each side of my feet and
when I put my shoes on and don't have my shoes tightened my feet tend
to rock on their sides putting pressure on the sore spots and then my
sweating begins. My sweats at this point,, are not profuse just some
dampness on my neck just enough to make one uncomfortable and
concerned. I really don't pursue any kind of solution at this point I
can just readjust my weight, most of the time, or move my feet
around and the sweating stops and I'm okay. Again I feel the reason
all this is happening is because of the amount of time I'm sitting
in this back up chair. As of last Friday my technician suggested
it might be two weeks before the chair,, my regular chair, it is
done. That means I just need to pace myself and realize that I have
to pay attention to my body, body shift needed someone to tighten up
my shoes to the maximum.
Am I really becoming a
world class boob?! What next on my body will begin to fail and what
should I do then? This is so hard to do now that I'm on my
own.before, I have Dianne, for the last 20 years actually she was my
great nurse she really didn't know everything medical it seemed. She
can eyeball wound or symptom and know exactly what to do or what to
say. Now, I am. on my own trying to remember what she said and what
she did for this and for that. Somehow the only get half of what I
need right.
