Too little too late?

I think I'm getting better that is I feel my gimp arm is healing. Where the arm is healing and not as difficult to tell mainly because I'm afraid to put any pressure on it at all and that's the way it's supposed to be as I understand it. I should not aggravate the tendonitis or the muscle or whatever is the problem- - that is what I've been doing so maybe it's paying off. I still want to have it looked at by a physician sooner than later but all things in their time I guess. I was pleased this morning being able to get up and transfer into my chair with very little issue. I didn't use the trapeze as I usually do to pull myself up as best as I can I pushing everything off on my right arm now as much as I can before I make any major transitions are transfers. I can use the trapeze more and more but I still need to be very careful it seems like one wrong move and all that pampering goes to waste. I must mention that I've started taking ibuprofen fairly regularly and they say to do that as well. So that might be having an impact as well I don't know I'm just trying to touch all the bases be as good as I can. I am such a poor patient.


Along that same line a person with a spinal cord injury- that's probably anybody for that matter - - is encouraged to ingest as much liquid as possible. I don't know if it's been going on with me in the last couple months but I have not been drinking like I should but it hasn't really been an issue I haven't seen anything negative coming from it and I felt pretty good especially the concept of being able to sleep through the night without having to get up in the middle of the night to pee or roll over to pee or whatever I do. I was on the phone for some time with my ex yesterday who always encourages me to Injustice liquid as possible. I'm trying to I Really Am but it's just like liquid in means liquid out and when you're me and you have to go through so much work just to pee you tried to limit that to the point where it's probably unhealthy. The reason I bring this up is primarily the fact that IP just a little while ago which is really the first time since I got up this morning- - and this morning's void was very limited which was kind of spooky and tonight the urine was very dark dare say I it could have been colored with blood! Of course this drove me didn't just half a gallon it seemed like a water right at the bathroom. I just hope it's not too little too late. So now I'll just more liquids and see what happens. If nothing else tomorrow is supposed to be overcast cooler with bouts of rain. I really don't have to go out anywhere at all so theoretically I could do a really maintenance day of liquid ingestion. I don't know if this would have a positive impact or not but as they say I guess I could not hurt at this point.

Watch your vitamin D levels too. Having low vitamin D can cause a myriad of issues. Drink lots of water!
