I was prepared for today to be a write-off since one week post shot always is, but in fact I had no reaction last week beyond an aching arm for two days. The only fall-out today might have been waking in early morning dimness and discovering it was actually 11:45. But lowered window shades on a rainy winter day will do it to you.
Of course the day was still a write-off since I couldn't go out in the dank and sleet. Leg ached, of course, so I didn't feel confident in going to the basement to do laundry. Washed dishes, folded last week's dark wash, did some exercise-- mostly involving legs in the air to drain some of the swelling. Wednesday my physio gave me a double session so she could try cupping, and while I think cupping is a bit woo-woo, it did help the swelling for a day or two. My leg was soft enough this morning but has now gone back to sausage-skin tight.
This may be the pattern of my winter and if so I need to find something to keep me moving indoors. The couch sitting of past years simply won't do. But of course standing hurts and the couch has beanbags and Marcus Didius Falco so you can guess what I opt for.
