Sunday blabbering..a lunch date.

Good afternoon. It's 4:06 PM Sunday afternoon as I write this post. It is vacation time and so I would not crib about the weekend coming to an end.. We had a late lunch at 2:30. And I was so hungry by that time. My husband took a long to finish his work. He had some financial tracking to be done and he did not want to leave it mid way. Enjoyed yummy food. And it was only two of us for lunch, we watched a comedy show post that on YouTube and chatted casually for an hour. So, it was a sort of lunch date. My younger daughter had gone out for a birthday party. It was just at walking distance from our home. They enjoyed lunch and games and bowling. My husband offered to drop her in car/ motorcycle. But she wanted to cycle down. She wants to get used to traffic before she heads out with two wheeler on the road after getting her license. Since it was not far ( though it's a busy traffic road), we were happy to let her go. She left home at 10:30 and came back at 3:45. I thought that she would be tired and would like to rest. But as soon as she entered the house, she wanted to go to the showroom to get her bike. We got a call in the morning that the colour of the bike that she wanted was available and we could come and pay the balance and take it. My husband wanted to wait till evening. It's pretty hot and sunny. But she was restless and impatient. She kept repeating the same for some time and finally my husband had to give up.. They have booked ola cab and left. My husband has not taken car as he has to ride the bike back home. They have taken their helmets. So, a new vehicle is coming home. They would go to the temple to seek the blessings and thank God for the new vehicle before bringing it home. We have a ritual to keep the evil eyes away and seek good luck for a new vehicle. They wanted me to join them. I had a bad leg cramp last night and have pain since then. I am struggling to walk. But then I managed to do the chores with some rest in between. I have been getting these sudden leg and feet cramps since the time I got Covid. Have done all the blood work and test but they can't find the reason. I got another blood work done in the morning and I should get the report in some time. The cramps are at times all of a sudden and very bad. My husband did the recording last night to show how stiff my toes become and how I struggle to move them..we sent the video to the doctor. He suggested few blood work and I will go see him tomorrow with my reports. I have stopped driving in the last few months..I got a bad cramp in my right feet while driving and struggled to apply brake. Luckily, I escaped an accident as I drive safely and never speed up my car in city traffic..My husband has asked me to stay away from driving for a while. That is all for the blabbering at my end. Hope that all is okay in your myLot corner. Take care

I'm glad you're having a good vacation. It sounded like a wonderful tea with your husband. I hope your daughter enjoys her new bike. I'm sorry you have such bad leg cramps. I know what it feels like. I had that too before they found I had a blood clot in my leg. I hope that won't be the case for you.

My daughter is excited about the bike. She is yet to get a licence to take it out on road. But she has started practicing it in the premises. My blood reports are all okay. I did not go to the doctor in person yet. I sent him my reports and he found nothing alarming or of concern. I will go and see him in a day or two or on this weekend. He says that many people are experiencing it after Covid infection/ Covid vaccine. And in some cases there is blood clots too. Keeping fingers crossed. I will see him soon.

@just4him I have to meet the doctor in person. Today I had no cramp. I could even exercise. But there was still some tightness from the last cramps previous night..it worries me at times.

Your cramps sound very debilitating. It will be a shame if it stops you from driving. I hope the doctor can find a cause and a cure for it.

@arunima25 Covid is not a simple thing. Many seem to have strange and/or lasting symptoms from it.

@JudyEv Yes. And some have bad reaction to vaccines to. I had that with my second dose and my doctor stopped me from having booster doses. One friend in Singapore has developed blood clots in his legs due to this vaccine side effects. It's bad for him and he is struggling with movements required for day to day life. He is on medication for those clots in both legs. He has limited mobility in the last two years. The improvement is very slow.

@arunima25 Leg cramps makes me uncomfortable too! imagine at night while sleeping it get worse. Speculation of covid vaccination is high from the beginning as I was badly affected and second one makes my stomach bloat for more than 6 months.

Hmm...my leg cramps are becoming a concern now. Blood reports are all okay and I sent it to doctor. Nothing alarming or concerning. Maybe a side effect of Covid/ covid vaccines. That's a speculation. Few people have complained about same. Didn't go to see the doctor. I will go this weekend or later next week

@psanasangma I had Covid infection. And it was bad. Though no fever I had a severe body ache and unbearable headache. But the Covid vaccines were worse than the actual infection. I have autoimmune diabetes. And the second dose did not go well. These cramps started from that time and also many other symptoms. Keeping fingers crossed. My blood reports are all okay. I did not go to the doctor in person yet. I sent him my reports and he found nothing alarming or of concern. I will go and see him in a day or two or on this weekend. He says that many people are experiencing it after Covid infection/ Covid vaccine. And in some cases there is blood clots too. Keeping fingers crossed. I will see him soon.

Thank you. She is happy to get the new bike. She can't take it out on road but she is practicing it few times in a day inside our apartment complex and even going on the road behind our apartment. It is not a main road and has very less traffic. Ideal to practice your riding and driving.

My blood report came absolutely fine. I sent it to my doctor. He finds nothing concerning. This can be just a side effect of Covid/ Covid vaccination. Seems like few have come up with similar concern. It's not alarming. But I have a fear for driving. I am scared that it can happen while driving.

Glad to see you have settled in and everyone enjoyed their respective lunches. I used to take a cholesterol medication which caused cramping in my legs and toes. Perhaps that can be the reason. Your doctor will know better.

My blood reports are all okay. No deficiency or electrolyte dysfunction. I didn't go to doctor.. I will see him this weekend or later next week. I sent him the report and he thinks that there is nothing alarming or concerning. One speculation might be the side effect of Covid or vaccination. That's a theory as few more are complaining about the same. I read online that prolonged intake of insulin can cause such cramps.
