Ups and downs

It's now been 3 weeks after the botox. It has been a real transition this time. I have always gotten the botox every 3-4 months and this time I had to wait double the time. Because of that, I feel the effects are more apparent than normal. I really feel the weakness in my fingers. I'm really struggling with smaller things like opening bottles, jars, wrappers, etc. It's a huge adjustment but I will adapt.

In regards to the leg. I love it. No, it hasn't made a huge difference as for the curling and balance. But pain and cramping is so much better. I have been able to go off the Vicodin for the most part. That makes it all worth it. And getting comfy at night is so much easier.

There are always ups and downs with the botox.

Oh and I recently found out that my cholesterol is high. So, now I have to change the diet as well. Had to discontinue my protein shake until I can buy a different one. Way to much cholesterol. I have been dropping a little weight here and there. However, because of all this, I am now sick. My immune system is down with the extra botox and giving up the protein shakes. And due to that, no workouts lately. EH :( Asthma and bronchitis don't make for productive workouts.

Time to get back on the road to health.

Finally the Botox...

Yesterday, I finally received my Botox injections. 400 units in the left leg and 65 units between the 2 arms. This is the first injection in the leg muscles. We'll see how it works out. More later.
