in the second step of two steps forward, and one back

today is the first day in four days that i've woken up to a left leg smaller than it was when i went to sleep. to you, this may not seem like much of a thang... but to me, it's huge progress.

i am unwilling to surrender this progress of the past 18 hours or so to another attempt at trying to go into my office for 5 or 6 hours, and leaving miserable. i've been pushing myself too hard. went in monday and tuesday only to have my leg pooch up in a nice ruddy burgandy color...

got fitted with a compression stocking yesterday afternoon. this is a thigh-high tight thing, by no means any sort of fashion statement. the relief was immediate.

so... i work from home today. i have plenty of work, i loaded up my briefcase yesterday with stuff i can do from home.

ready? go.
