My hip has been wonderful, no pain at all, my heel is pretty much the same, the injury site is another thing though. My thigh still has pain, to touch and every so often it just aches The bruise has come out more, while the bruise on my calf has started to fade. It will take a little while to heal properly, it would help if I wasn't on my feet all day.


I am developing an interest in Herbalism, I've always been interested but am putting it more into practise thanks to watching Grow Your own Drugs on cable. I've borrowed the book and series one DVD from the library, have hinted that I want the book for Christmas (if you can call shaking the book in front of everyone saying that I want this book for Christmas a hint).

I've started buying herbs and have put some into an old laundry tub in the backyard, potted up more on Wednesday. Have made tea out of some, pineapple sage and peppermint (am growing 3 types). Yesterday my son had a cough and some congestion, I made Sage Honey from the Grow your own Drugs book and am happy to report it seemed to work. He took a teaspoon of it and it soothed his throat and he was able to stop coughing. He had 2 doses last night and even though he was much better this morning I gave him another dose.
