Legs and baby (not belonging to the same person!)

Two quick things...

Item one (less important)

I had another physio appointment today. As usual... many needles... though not as many as last time.

Good news: Knee is feeling better (though still puffy).

Bad news: the physio says he would not be surprised if it IS compartment syndrome... though was VERY careful about not giving me a diagnosis, telling me to wait and see what the doctor says... sigh...

More good news: I am now barred from doing squats until further notice, as it increases the swelling in my leg. (Woo hoo! No more squats!)

More bad news: I am still barred from running, or even walking, during workouts.


Item two (very important!)

I will keep this blog posting short, as my friend Z. over at Peel me a grape in labour. She is giving birth at home, with friends and family taking shifts being with her, and a midwife and her assistant to do the actual delivery.

My role (seeing as how I've never had a baby myself, nor do I have the slighest idea how to deliver one) is to keep everyone fed and nourished through the process. Whipped up a lasagne for dinner last night and tonight, it is slow cooker stew. (Baby wasn't expected for another week, so I had to do some scrambling on the food...)

When I left her house late this morning, Z. had been in labour for 35+ hours and still not dilated. Another close friend, J., is a Chinese medicine doctor and was preparing to do some accupuncture to move things along a bit.

I am on my way home to grab the stew and then go back over to Z.'s house for a few hours.

I am supposed to study tonight, but somehow I can not focus on my reading!!!

Will update again after baby arrives...
