Wow you guys!!!! Thanks so much for your support! I do have a brave, courageous daughter. She is so sweet even when she has been lying there with IV’s and a Foley catheter, withering in pain, she will ever so politely ask her nurses. “Excuses me, my pain is starting to shoot up, may I please...

When a headache isn’t a headache, aka: AVM On Oct.22nd my daughter and I were outside loading up my recumbent bike in the back of my truck to drive it down for service. A yellow jacket/wasp (note: angel #1) started buzzing my daughter and finally stung her under her right arm. She was soooo...

RE: Reluctantly… Recumbent or Upright?? I want my Card... CinDee- Wow so much info.!!! You sound like a girl after my own heart. I love going full tilt when I get into something new. Trust me if something is fun I’m going to do it more and more and if I can accessorize look out. I am...

RE: Reluctantly… Recumbent or Upright?? I want my Card... Becky – I don’t have custom orthodics but I do have pretty good ones I get from Road Runner sports online. I have been avoiding the PT with all of this but I’m thinking I need to get more aggressive with it. Cortisone delivered by...

RE: Reluctantly… Recumbent or Upright?? I want my Card... Judy- Thank you sooo much for your suggestions. I will definitely check out the Diamond Back semi-recumbent. It’s very encouraging to hear that someone else has gone through this and that “the bike solution” really helped out. You...

Okay, (sigh) I have been dealing with a recurring plantar fasciitis situation. My cardio is suffering miserably. I’m doing everything for my condition that is possible at this point i.e. ice, weeks rest, stretching, orthodics, Birkenstocks, never going barefoot etc. I really am not sooo...

Here’s my 2 cents worth. 1) I hike with my dogs in the morning and get my weights & cardio in the afternoon/early evening time periods. 2) I work out 6 to 7 days a week with the occasional weekend day off depending on family commitments. 3) I too am a DISH subscriber and do not get FIT...

Ann, I have been working through this problem myself, not to the degree that you have though. During my hunt for answers/help I came across this interesting article which really laid out all options. I now never go barefoot and wear supports in all my shoes if possible. I also stretch like...

Wow!! Thanks about the compliments on the pictures. I post so rarely these day’s that I forgot that ole link was still on there. Thanks again you guys made me smile today. ;) Debbie

I bought it and love it. True it is a hassle to update all my old info over but it’s worth the time. I had been using the online version for 3 years so I have had a lot of customs to re-enter. It’s so much faster and has more options for so many things. There are a lot more specifics for the...

Well even though it is fun to watch the occasional jaw drop when I say, "I live on a 40 acre ranch in Squaw Valley" the fact is that my Squaw Valley is the former rather than the latter. ;) Although I think it's quite beautiful in my valley too. :) Wild Pony

Hi ya Deb, I'm up here in Squaw Valley!! Yea!!! We might be the only Cathe fans around here. Nice to "meet" ya. :) WildPony

Gloria!!! What a doll you are!!! How fun to have a face to put with that wonderful person I have come to know. What cute boy’s you have too. Thanks for sharing. Deb

Hey All, Well the thoughtful words that you all have shared do brighten my spirits. I appreciate all of your kindness. This is a hard time and maybe if I didn’t have a daughter who is 20 it wouldn’t feel so close to home for me. When I see the faces of the kids over there serving I see the...

Michelle No harm no foul. It’s just me in this weird place right now. That’s why I feel I should keep my distance. Sorry hope I’m not bringing any of you down. I won’t post anymore of my weirdness. My bad sorry. Deb

Hey , I’m here just sort of fading in the woodwork though. I’m working out and eating real well just feeling a little “outside myself” now. I don’t know maybe I’ve turned into a real California girl. ;) Ya know the stereotypical spacey, tree hugging, “life is what you make it man” sort of...

Hey Guys, Thanks for understanding my feelings. You guys are the greatest, really. I got in a 7 mile run yesterday at a very slow pace. Today is PUB. Dh is taking a little break from work since he works in the Financial district in SF. We actually did some nice arena work outside...

Hey All, Well I haven’t been checking in at all lately because of my current feelings and focus. I am one of those people glued to the TV watching CNN or MSNBC 24 hours a day. Personal opinions aside about the war I have these feelings that I need to be aware of what is constantly going on...

Hey All, Today after youngest dd 2nd microdermabrasion treatment and a stop at the pet store for crickets for our geckos I will get in a 5 mile run. I got in PUB yesterday , this one has become so easy for me now. I use 12, 15 & 20lbs just the same as Cathe does, but I don’t want to move up...

Good Late Monday Night All, Today was youngest dd turn for braces. Last night (Sunday) Dh cooked pork ribs and beef ribs with corn on cob for dd. Then dd went over and spent night with older sister and pigged out on caramel, popcorn, hard candies, sticky candies, gum and all the things she...
