We decided to ride this afternoon, something we ordinarily would not do on a sunny saturday. the ride was our usual one and we got reminded the whole time about why we dont usually do this. Busy. busy. people, dogs, kids. a whole lot of folks out enjoying the sun and warmth. it was too...

Its odd how different getting routine testing is across the country. there is a specific breast center affiliated with the hospital here that I use. I schedule it myself although I get a reminder letter if I havent done it. they get results back to us here within hours so no more...

diane sue there are a million possible things wrong with your back to cause pain. we probably dont have the same things wrong, but lumbar vertebrae 2 - 5 seem to be a common spot for problems. I developed scoliosis that worsened with age, probably due to slightly uneven leg length. the lumbar...

Diane sue, riding does not bother my back. before the surgery riding was ok too. after surgery I didnt ride for 4 months. my doc didn't think it was wise. falling is a risk & could have dislodged all kinds of metal parts! part of it was seasonal too. no strong need to ride outdoors...

actually carolyn its supposed to be an easy week. I'm not supposed to do sports or weights for a week. we plan to ride this morning because since I do it often, it's more like serious walking for me. I dont think I'm at any risk since I have had no bleeding swelling or discomfort...

stuck to directions and walked up and down our yard for 30 min in addition to doing grocery shopping and costco. ends up being a lot of walking total did the countertop push ups and about 80 of them, balances and toe raises. I'm not supposed to do weight lifting. I think its overkill...

I'm back. all went well. tooth is out, procedure took less than an hour. I remember nothing. its barely bleeding. I am supposed to take it easy for a week so I will see how I feel but likely just easy stuff without a lot of hard work. icing it. will be eating very carefully. last night I...

been preoccupied with my oral surgery tomorrow. I know I will be "out" and not aware of anything. its really not a big deal, and I know that, but I have nightmares and terrors, anxiety attacks etc a lot. completely out of proportion to reality. my brain knows this but I still...

did our normal bike ride this morning for 75 minutes. definitely fall like, wore long sleeves and 3/4 pants. ETA I wore my night guard while I rode this morning. it has some bumpy spots and I didnt want to clench my teeth or bounce too hard. it worked ok but I have periods of...

Thanks for you well wishes. I am scheduled for tuesday morning with oral surgery. very nice man I feel this is best choice. he said there are signs of infection starting and that can cause anesthetics to not work well. I've never had any work done on this quadrant. no fillings or...

diane sue if you use the bikes often at all, you can get a mat that goes over the tailgate specifically for bikes. the mat attaches to the truck so they cant be stolen. they protect the bikes and the truck finish. usually you drape the front wheel pointing sideways over the tailgate...

Did not go well this morning. he could not get it numb. not even close. I dont think I ever had the right upper quadrant frozen. it did not respond. The tooth and its roots are definitely still working. he kept checking and probing and it got dulled some, but did not do the job...

Dont know what happened legally to increase the ID checks but it applies to most stores I use. you just get out the DL before checker gets to the item and they scan the bar codes on the card. Im sure its not optional as I pretty clearly look old enough. diane sue keep in mind...

Cathy I dont recall why they upped the ID checks. some stores are more aggressive than others but every large store here does it. you need an ID scanned at checkout. you cannot buy alcohol or even "no alcohol" beer without doing it. I definitely look old enough! it's like it's part of the...

I did x train bi's and tri's, without core & all therapy exercises plus some counter top push ups. they are my adaptation to avoid the irritation I get from regular floor push ups. I get my feet way back and do push ups on an angle as close to flat as I can get safely from a counter...

Cathy that is so funny... I unload my cart in the way I want things bagged. cold things together, fruit/vegies together, etc. I have a garage fridge and an indoor one. easier to have garage fridge things all together. I use double bags, a paper one inside one of the reusable heavy...

oh yes the damn check outs! I can do self check out if I have a few simple items. not if I have a lot of produce that needs weighing. also beer and wine need approval and show of ID regardless of how ancient one happens to be. DH drinks "no alcohol" beer and even that requires show...

I would love a sprouts store! we are still living with the possible kroger/albertsons merger that will totally up end the situation here with several stores turfed off to a third company who is not a good option. now Im hoping we just get to keep the stores we have! we ended up...

all I did was therapy work and push ups yesterday. got a lunch meeting today so gotta do something soon. didnt we think the internet would "bring us all together", make communication, keeping in touch easier? the whole social media thing turned into a snake pit. and I dont want to...

It seems like one step forward, two steps back. one state passes some legislation to tighten restrictions and another state decides to loosen things. We can all vote of course but that's not been very effective. the rest of the civilized world looks at us in amazement that we can be so...
