We had a whirlwind of a visit with DS2 last week-weekend. We spent as much time with him as possible which included driving him to the wedding and to the airport. We all had dinner on Thursday night (first time in 6 years!) and he got to see extended family. It went so fast and I've been in a...

Hi! I did not see the eclipse-just pictures. I've been doing pool 2x a week and a 45 minute bike ride once a week along with my PT exercises. Slowly but surely I feel like my foot is getting better. I need to take a walk today to test it. I'm allowed 20 minutes to see how it feels. DS2...

Well, Monday night I got a text that my job was changing for the next month. So Tuesday I went to work and was with a provider and someone on light duty took over my responsibilities. She is getting a total knee replacement on April 17th and I'm told that at that time I'll return to my regular...

Next time I'm injured, please remind me ASAP to just go straight to PT. My SI joint was out and after an adjustment and some exercises I am already feeling 80% better. The PT said that my foot hurts from walking on it while compensating for my back issue. Once I get that straightened out...

This week is flying by. I did a total body weight and two indoor bike rides over the weekend. The pool has been closed for repairs and I really miss it. I'm going over to see my PT guy today. I have to pay out of pocket but it will be worth it if he can help me. Other than that I'm just...

Well, the foot specialist diagnosed me with metatarsalgia. He took excellent pictures of my foot and apparently my second and third toe bones are longer than the other toe bones. So the foot gets inflammation in the ball of the toe from too much pressure. I've purchased pads to put in my...

Not much going on here. We do not use a budgeting app or tool. A long time ago we used some free quicken program and found out most of our expenses is food! Glad you felt good enough for a leg workout! Last week was the pool on Monday and Thursday and yesterday I rode a stationary bike at...

We have been working around the house a lot. DH has finished painting and is now staining trim. I do a lot of the "support" work-move things, dust, vacuum up what falls. I did no weights last weekend and probably won't this one either. I tried a 10 minute walk yesterday and am not ready for...

Oh my-sorry you to hear you guys had Covid. I'm just trying to get through the days without working out! I did an upper body weight circuit on the weekend and then pool on Monday. Today will be pool again. Otherwise-baking bread and reading. We played cards last night and had fun. March...

I finally did an upper body workout yesterday! I did the Ramped Up Upper Body from the Strong and Sweaty Series. It was about 45 minutes and am happy to be back to some weights. I don't know about my toe/foot. It still feels the same even with taping, boot, and rest for a month. Maybe it's...

Hello! I am taking it one day at a time with my foot. I feel like I'm back to a tarsal tunnel problem-I had surgery for it 22 years ago. My foot feels tingly and sore. I have an appointment with a foot and ankle doctor in March. Unless resting helps greatly, I'll go see him and discuss it...

TessGeo-I like Sanjay Gupta, Dr.Glaucomfleckem, and one called Maintenance Phase. Do you have any? Beth

Nice job on your consistency! I'm doing pool Mondays an Thursdays until the end of February. I ended up going to see my primary care provider last week and she put me in a walking boot. Its has really helped all my worries about support and if I wear a heeled shoe my alignment is better. It's...

Well, I'm making good progress on the picture/photo project. I've culled through all of DH's side of the family and the first album will be his roots-both sets of grandparents and then his first nuclear family. The next will be our family. I can't really do my side yet since my parents have...

Well, I went Tuesday to the Walk In and was dx with a stress fracture in my right second toe. So-minimal impact for 6 weeks. I was told to tape it to the next toe and "take it easy". Tuesday and Wednesday I just got through work. Yesterday I went to the pool and did 30 minutes of no impact...
