So Tired

I am trying to keep a positive outlook.

I got the TENS unit in the mail.   Before I even used it, I realized it was only going to help a little.
It only helps in the area where you -put it.   THe biggest problem I have now is my knees and ankles.  I am considering going back to Dr. Graehl and getting cortizone shots in all those places.  Based on prior experience, this will also make me 50 LBS heavier.

I found where I could order fresh ground peanut butter online.   I have also purchsed a kitchen made hand mixer.  The Bowl mixersd are $300.   Dang!   Not paying that much.  

I have experimented pmixing Spirulina with the Peanut Butter until it is not possible to add any more Spirulina and the mixture to remain a paste.   It does not taste as good as previous batches, but it does have more effect.

Overall, I eat less of it.  I get much more Spirulina per spoonful than before, and less PB.  Also, the less attractive taste doesn't trigger any "Ohh, that's good, gimme more" feelings. 

I got more Spirulina from, nuts.com, but this time I got 5 one LB bags.   Easier to manage.  The difference in price was less than a dollar.

I slept most of Saturday.   The only thing I did was mix Spirulina & PB, Shop (which was extremely difficult), and watch a movie online.   I slept 12 hours that night, and then 2 to 3 hours between these 3 activities, and then to bed at 11 AM.   When the alarm rang at 6 AM, there was no way I was getting up.   I need more rest.

I stopped going to get foot massages after they took the spinal cord stiulator out.   I am afraid the massagwe would hurt too much.   My legs and feet look terrible.   My toes look like driftwood again.   The skin on my legs looked like dried parchment.
