Not much going on here. Starting to have a new crop of staff leaving the office so it's getting more hectic there. I've been wrapping my ankle/foot with good effect. I did make an appointment to see podiatrist Monday to get some advice. Been doing upper body weights, pt, and bike. Your...

Hello! Hopefully exercise is helping with your stress. I have been sleeping terribly and have gotten up before 5 a few times to ride bike or do upper body. 94 pounds! I understand that's not your PB, but dang that is a lot of weight! Keep at it. Even 20 minutes here and there will help. I...

How was your week? I had a short one since I took Friday off. I've been wearing the brace. It goes between the hip bones and the greater trochanter crest. It's not too uncomfortable and I think it's helping a little. Still a work in progress trying to get to walking without pain. PT has...

Wow-you are up early today! I had a pretty good week. My mental health is tied to my lack of being able to exercise like I'd like to. I need cardio for stress and weights to feel stronger. So, I did a pool workout and a bike ride last week as well as two upper body weight workouts and two...

Have you looked into the psoas muscle? It's under the ribs and connects back through leg in the front. Mine had a charlie horse in it and Monday at therapy he got that out and I felt a lot better. Unfortunately, I tried a 10 minute treadmill walk last night and ended up throwing both the SI...

Just rolling along here. I've been trying to get two upper body weight workouts in a week between my lower body rehab exercises. Plan is to go to the pool this morning for a bit of cardio. After nearly 60 years, I took a stand and put a political sign in my front yard on Monday. It was stolen...

Well, thank you for putting things in perspective. You are right-I do try and that's all I can do. I do feel like my mom just wants me to keep my distance and just help her when she asks. So that's what I'm going to do. Plus knowing it's not just my family makes me feel better, but I wish it...

Good morning! Are you feeling better? DS2 has Covid now. It's everywhere. We are seeing a lot at the office. Fortunately I tested negative last week and was able to work on Friday. I'm feeling better. This past Monday I started back at PT for my back and leg. He said I was locked, but not...

I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. At least they know what it is and can treat it. I wish the same could be said for your abdominal pain. Doing what you feel like is where I'm at too. Some days weights, some days a 20 minute walk, some days pool. Speaking of covid...I've been home sick...

Yikes, job hunting is a nightmare. No wonder you're not sleeping well. Good plan to get your resume updated. I hope it all works out. To me, two weight and two walks is a normal week of workouts! I did one chest and then one upper body last week (the one part day didn't even make it a...

I'm so glad you got away and had some quality down time at the condo. Did you sleep any better there? I've been taking a 20 minute walk just about every day. I consider it my body's bone walk and so far so good. Did more biking for cardio this week since the weather was nice. This weekend...

Hi! I hope you are enjoying your time off! Are you guys going to your condo for part of it? I'm trying to talk Dan into going to Buffalo this coming Saturday to the second biggest art museum in New York state. They have some of the Impressionists works in their collection. I'm pushing for...

Hey! How are you? How is school going for the girls? How is work? I am doing fine. I've started doing the ICE weight work-one body part a day. Monday was chest, Wednesday was back. Shoulders-planned for Friday and Bi's and Tri's on Saturday (such small muscles I'm going to do abbreviated...

We have not found a car and now the good car is back in the shop. I'm feeling a little trapped in my town! Hopefully this week we get it back again and it runs. Juniors in high school! Wow! Before you know it they'll be off to college. I've been helping my mom a bit with my dad. His...

The winery was a good time. Dan apologized for making such a fuss about going. We had a fun table, good food, and lucked out on the weather. It was pouring when we left home, but by the time we got to the venue it was sunny. We are still waiting to get our car back from getting...

Hi! I've had a pretty good week. I went for the nerve test on Monday. Nothing remarkable in the results-all nerves are good. So I probably don't need nerve surgery anyway. Next step will be to talk to the podiatrist about my symptoms and see what he advises. In my own experimentation I...

I've settled into a pattern of one bike ride and three pool workouts a week. Monday (tomorrow!) I finally get to have the nerve conduction study completed. After that I'll meet with my podiatrist to see what he recommends. My foot is warm and achy now. I'm still doing my stretches and my back...

Not much going on here. Saturday I did the pool and tried a short walk without success. I went to see my PCP last week and have an order for PT for my back and leg. She feels like all the muscles are tightened around the SI joint again and it's affecting the whole gait and leg. So I'm going...

Not much new here. I'm still stretching and doing low impact. I did try to take a 30 minute flat walk yesterday and may need to go for more PT. Still debating. I feel like I'm slowly getting better. Been spending my days on my back porch with the birds and books. Yesterday DH and I went to...

How was your week? I tried walking to work on Wednesday and won't be trying that again soon. I'm back into resting the foot mode and trying to let it heal. I have the EMG scheduled for 7/29 to see if nerves are involved. So pool and bike it is. Otherwise, just working and watching soccer...
