JoJosMom Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 1 hour ago, Where's Toto? said: When I did my walk on Saturday I decided to go a little farther than I've been going. And according to my fitbit, I only went 1.4 miles when before it was showing 1.6 miles. So, I mapped it on google maps and guess what? I wasn't walking as far as I thought I was. <<sigh>> Oh well, at least I'm moving right? I'm trying to decide if I should take some advil before I walk (I definitely need to start remembering to use my inhaler and take benedryl). I get a lot of foot and knee pain. I could probably push through and go farther but I'm really worried about hurting myself and I can't afford to hurt myself when I teach 14 classes a week on my feet. Maybe I should just continue to take it slow and slowly increase my distance as it gets easier. Yoga is getting easier. I can definitely feel and see the difference with what I can do there. So progress of a sort is being made. You ROCK, Toto. Good for you! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Morning. I was trying to organize my life for the month. Looks like I probably ought to just stick to my usual write it and do it mentality. No school for the boys today because they weren't supposed to get home until today. They are still cracking geodes anyway. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I just rolled out of bed. I have got tons to do so that was a bad idea to not get up right away.

Susan in TN Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Dh took the van to work because the rattling was making me nervous and I didn't want to drive into The Big City with it this afternoon. Dd13 had an ortho appt. and got head gear and then we went to the grocery store next door to pick up stuff that Aldi was out of on Friday, and then we went to a sporting goods store to try to find some olive green pants for dd13 to wear to scouts tonight but we had no luck. I ate 2nd breakfast and kids are eating lunch and in a couple hours we'll leave again for music lessons, children's choir, and scouts. Soup is in the IP and laundry is in the washer. More Coffee! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Dd, Juliet and I had lunch at the tables outside of an independent coffee shop. Juliet got a taste of my gf ham and swiss breakfast sandwich, the pumpkin scone that dd and I split and the monster cookie that we also split. She said that it was all very yummy. She was very good and didn't eat anyone. I was a bit worried about leaving her chained up to the table while we went in to order and pay but no one approached her and she sat there quietly so all was well. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dad of one of the girls passed away recently, and it was hard to hold back the tears when she was getting her awards tonight. It was a very nice Court of Honor. Lots of really sweet and fun and dedicated girls and parents. I finished The Green Ember. Why don't we have the next book yet?!? I ate some almonds. Time for bed.

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Could I get some prayers about my elbow and arm? I hurt it almost 3 weeks ago when Juliet pulled it almost out of joint. The chiro got it in 50% and then couldn't get it to budge any more. A week later he got it in another 30% (just a guess from how it felt). I have been trying not to use it but I keep reinjuring it with life. Today it hurt so terribly that I went and got an elbow brace. Dh hurt it even more trying to get it into the stupid brace. Then I was almost throwing up and/ or passing out from the pain. (The thing about chronic pain is that I have a hard time gauging pain levels but nausea and lightheadedness are a good clue that it's bad.) I think that the brace was putting pressure on things and making things worse. So we managed to get it off and it's manageable at the moment. But I think that we are reaching the end of a window where this isn't going to just be an acute thing but might end up being one more chronic thing to add to my menu of chronic things. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! Hugs to all of you. I missed yesterday. I didn't have access to internet most of the day. This week is going to be a bit crazy, so I won't be posting much. I didn't post much last week either. Dh and I went on a mini-vacation and my mom took care of the girls. It was very relaxing, but so.much.walking. My foot is feeling much better after the injection last Monday morning. On this side of all of the walking, I can tell that the foot is definitely feeling better. I was told that I will hopefully get 6 months of relief and then I can do the injection again. Oh, and I apparently passed one of the kidney stones without realizing it. I had some pain for several days in a row, getting more severe each day (but certainly not as bad as childbirth as I had been warned about) and then no pain for several days in a row. So I think it's gone. Anyway, that's my update. 🙂 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Morning. I'm up, but hardly awake. I have a doctor's appointment today, but still want to do all the things. So I guess I'd better get working on that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Good Morning!!, COFFEE!!!!!!~D Tuesday!!!! Another beautiful fall day. Our temps are perfect.... low 70’s, though we’re getting back up to 89 by the end of the week. I’m visiting 3 new students today. I’ve gotten 7 new students in the past week. That brought my status up to full time, for which I am very thankful, but the vast majority of my students are one per family. If I had 2-3 kids per family it would make things a lot easier, but now I have about 19 families to visit each month. Some are fairly close together, but this is beginning to be a lot. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think there might be so much inflamation that your shoulder can't quite get back into place? Elbow. Maybe? I can now fully bend my elbow without pain so I think that it’s in place. But if I accidentally rotate my arm (which apparently we do a lot) then “whoa baby “. So the doc thinks tendonitis. Which would mean inflammation of the tendons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm taking a 20 minute break. Some Lessons have been completed. We were out for 3-1/2 hours for the Chinese music concert. We had to park 1/2 mile away from the place, so it took a bit longer than expected. It was hot, but we found seats in the shade, so not unbearable. The music was really amazing. It's supposed drop 20 degrees next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a side-sleeper and hates this, so we compromised with pillows propped around her head/body so she can sort of feel like she's on her side. We haven't had trouble since.
