Jean in Newcastle Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Day 392 steps Day 262 hips Day 160 bird dog. I have been drinking my bone broth in the mornings as part of breakfast. I am not counting the days though because I don't really need to count things that I get out if the way right away. My bloodsugars were a beautiful 111 tonight at bedtime. So I only took half of my diabetes med so that hopefully my sugars will stay nice and stable all night and won't dip too low. I also put Biofreeze on my ankles tonight. Hopefully that will work like an analgesic. They are freezing though so hopefully that won't keep me up! There is the Friday night health report. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Good Morning! Happy Saturday! I need to do some housekeeping -- if I can walk -- and assign some chores. We are hoping to finish a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle today. We started it yesterday at dd8's request. Also, I am planning to read the final chapters of Jane Austen's Emma. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Morning. I didn't sleep in as long as I thought I would this morning. Last night's Kids Night Out I had 8 kids but they were very well behaved and we're from two families where older siblings are great about helping younger siblings. And hot chocolate and fruit snacks are evidently extremely popular. Today I'm running to the science center to do some clean up and start the reorganization. Then we have to run to meet the accountant to go over some weird things with the centers books. A quick stop at BJ's, then back to the science center to do more work. Tomorrow, finish at the science center, clean my house some since my mom is coming to dinner, set up school, and plan some classes. I don't have anything to do for Monday's classes because we had a snow day last week but I'm supposed to do reptiles in Biology and my snake is getting ready to shed, so I may have to switch things around and do birds instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Morning report: My fasting bloodsugars are a bad 132. So my sugars must have dropped overnight. I wonder if I should have not taken any diabetic meds last night since my sugars were in the normal range? I am on the fence about the Biofreeze. It did what it is designed to do- the “freeze” ties up the pain receptors but since I often feel “cold” as pain anyway it wasn’t a comfortable experience. But I saved my liver by not having to take extra pain meds. Actually about three hours after application when the effects wore off it was great because I didn’t have any pain in my ankles at all. (Thought: maybe I could apply it three hours before bedtime.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not feel the warmth from my blankets on my ankles. The "freeze" blocked out that part of my senses in that area. It's basically smearing menthol on my ankles - but instead of the cooling sensation in my sinuses, it's on my feet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, fingers crossed, maybe if you can interrupt the pain cascade, you will decrease your need for pain management. I hope. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Well, due to ITT regulations, I survived the wedding. Barely. You know things are not going to go particularly well when your quartet leader doesn't put her own music in order and keeps suggesting we play Bach chorales, rather than the regularly scheduled music that we all have sitting in front of us. Also, some people "in charge" were telling us we should start the prelude at 4:00 with the wedding start at 4:30, while other people "in charge" were telling us to start playing prelude at 4:30 with the wedding start at 5:00. What the Carp?!? We started playing at 4:15 and the wedding started at about 4:45. <insert major eye roll> In other news, it has been pouring rain all night and my esophgus decided to spaz out and now I can't eat dinner. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I like taco bell if I'm in the right mood. Otherwise I prefer the other imitation Mexican food from a semi-local chain called Riveira Maya. I think it's basically Tex-Mex. I had moo shu veggie chicken from a vegan place for dinner. It was very good. I like (the american version of) chinese food but a lot of it gives me a headache. The vegan stuff doesn't give me a headache. I usually just get steamed dumplings and spring rolls but decided to expand for tonight. I'm not a vegan. Or even a vegetarian. It was a beautiful sunny 50-something degrees today. I almost wish we could have made the parade. It's been in the 20's the last few years. But we had to run all over taking care of paperwork, taxes, and business stuff. More to do tomorrow and my mothers coming over for dinner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
