My Left leg went to sleep

Kamál (Perfection), 8 Qudrat (Power), 170 BE - Monday, November 11, 2013 about 4:32 PM Pacific Standard Time

I an a frightening experience today, while I was standing at the bookcase removing books my left foot and leg went to sleep. This is the second time in the last 30 days this has happened. The first time I was waiting in line where I had to stand in one place for more then an hour. Today I was standing at the bookcase removing books for more then an hour. When I take more books out of the bookcase, I will have to watch how long I stand up. Fortunately, I do not have to do dishes this evening so I do not stand up for a long time any more today.

I am sure that this indicates a bigger problem, but I am not sure what it means. I will have to talk to my doctor about this at my next appointment.  In the mean time, I guess I should do an internet search to see what this symptom means. I do not think I have any other symptoms, but I could be wrong because it is difficult for me to walk and my knees hurt when I stand on my feet for about a half hour.

Monday Mumblings: The wound on my left leg

Kamál (Perfection), 2 Ayyám-I-Há (Intercalary Days), 168 BE – Sunday-Monday, February 27, 2012 about 7:10 AM Pacific Time

I have to go to the wound doctor again. Late Friday night, a place on my left leg began to run and then on Saturday bleed. I will call one of my doctors when the offices open around 8:00 AM and discuss it with one of the nurses because I cannot talk to the doctor immediately. I give the nurse all the information I can and then talk to the doctor later or make an appointment.

I am not looking forward to having that leg bandaged. I just got all the bandages off at the beginning of the month. Since I cannot get the bandages wet, it is difficult to take a shower or a bath. Even with a plastic bag over the bandages, taking a shower is a test. I have to put trash bags on my grocery list because they are the only bags large enough to go over the bandage.
