backward trends

It's snowing again in Minneapolis today. It won't accumulate, but it's surprising to see snowfall this late in the year.  We have our annual fundraiser tomorrow to raise money for the animal shelter where I work.  Bad weather decreases turnout and fundraising, unfortunately.  Freezing precipitation today does not bode well for tomorrow morning.

I keep experiencing electric jolts in my foot and leg.  They are painful reminders that I'm not ready to put weight on my left leg yet.  At least the nerves haven't suffocated and died. There's enough circulation to keep them registering pain.  That's a good sign, at least.

If the swelling and electric shocks keep getting worse over the weekend, though, I'll call Monday and schedule a doctor appointment to get checked out.  I expected the clot to have withered sufficiently to have decent blood circulation in my leg by now.

Today marks 6 weeks since my leg injury, and I'm still on crutches.  I'm starting to get pessimistic about my long-term prospects.
