Our first long drive since injury day 1/3/2026

My family and I went to the community market and farmer’s market in the next city. It took us 1.5 hours on one way. It was our first long drive since my injury. I had enough cash in my wallet, but by the time when we were about to leave the market, my wallet did not have any more paper bills. I purchased many gift items and clothes at the market. I was glad that I could purchase her some birthday gifts and Christmas gifts.

We walked for a long distance. From time to time, I needed to find a bench to sit down and rest. One time, the arch of my foot got extremely hot with intense nerve pain. I needed to sit down and put an icepack onto my foot and cool it down. I found a nice big tree next to the bench. I took off the socks and put my bare foot on the ground and touched the tree bark to earth myself.

I normally take gabapentin once a day, but today, I needed to take 2 pills because of the intense pain.
