I thought I was doing Ok on the LID, then I hear the words 'I baked cookies', and everything goes out the door. I completely forgot I was on the LID after my run this evening, and ended up eating about six of AnnMarie's snickerdoodle cookies. It wasn't until she started to describe what she put in the cookies that I remembered that I have a few food restrictions. I decided not to ask her if there was salt in them, or about any of the other restricted ingredients. I am just going to be happy that the first week is there in case I mess up; it is the second week that really counts. That doesn't mean I'm planning on messing up a lot this week. I have to be really good next week.
I am still worried about the contrast dye thing, so I tried to call the radiology department. I have to call back before 3:30pm tomorrow, and ask to speak with a tech. My ENDO's office said I don't have to worry about isolation since I'm getting a much smaller dose than my ablation dose last year. Thank goodness! But I still want to hear that from the Nuc Med doc, or someone over there. I hope they can also tell me more about this contrast dye thing.
Otherwise, I'm sore and tired. My back is still a little sore from yoga on Monday. The insides of my elbows (not quite my biceps and not quite my forearms) are a bit sore from climbing last night. And then there is my left foot - it doesn't hurt when I run, but every now and then while walking, regardless of whether or not I am wearing shoes or the style, it starts to hurt. This foot pain worries me because it has been going on for a while now - at least a month, I think. It feels like I am getting a foot spasm, around the metatarsal for my big toe. Maybe I should see a podiatrist. And if that doesn't work, then I have until Friday to eat cookies to take my mind off the foot pain.
