Damage Control

Happy belated birthday!!! Glad to hear the specialist was able to help you. I hope the pads in your shoes help relieve the pain.

It was a busy week. I was on-call, still am through Sunday at midnight. There a just some extra duties that come with being on-call. I did a 30 min ride on Monday, Tuesday I had a dr. appt, I wasn't feeling well on Wed. Today will be RWH BSB and abs, tomorrow will be legs.

The girls have been keeping me busy, basically taxi service for them. They are on spring break now. We had a big snow storm come through, up to 3ft. in some locations. Lucky for us we only got about 6 inches and it has already melted for us.

Oh, my washing machine died and someone came to look at it on Thursday. Over 2K to fix, so we are just getting a new one. It won't be delivered/installed until Monday. There is so much laundry to do. The girls probably have 3 loads just for them. Trying to decide if its worth it to go to the laundromat today or not.

Hope you have a great weekend!
 
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 working and doing the usual.

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 (again) I should be fine. He is the only provider that looked at both feet, watched me stand and go on tip toes, walk, and felt my feet. Believe it or not, my core is super tight as well and he has me doing a cobra like move to stretch it out to help my foot! He is a genius and looks at the whole body. He also said to throw out my sneakers-I'm guilty of keeping them too long for the amount of activity I do. I just always figured that the orthotic inserts in them meant I could wear them for years. This time I lost two months so it's better than the 6 I lost when my back first went out.

What are you up to this weekend? I've been working on my scrapbook of photos from DH and my families. I invested in Gaylord products and am putting some albums together. Other than that project just the usual!

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been dealing with a lot of work stress. I've been working on something I thought would take about a week and it has been nothing but problems. It's been a month now and I'm almost finished. So stressful.

The washing machine issue has been awful. I ordered one through internet chat as I wanted one that would work with my existing pedestal. Based on my model number I was told I needed a 27" washer. I ordered one of the 2 recommended to me. She was incorrect, I needed a 29" machine. The machine was also smaller capacity than the previous. I ordered the pedestal for it, but after a week it was not working for us. I ordered a new 29" one and that was installed yesterday. The pedestal is backordered until May. Also, they were supposed to take the 27" machine but couldn't because the person I did the return/exchange with in the store did not have marked correctly. The old machine is being picked up today. It's been a nightmare all around.

Last week I worked out everyday. I was so proud of myself. Two days were just walking around the lakes. This week not so much. I had a dr. appt on Monday, washer install on Tuesday, walked around the lakes yesterday. Today will be Muscle Max. Tomorrow I have a pedicure appt.

Glad to hear you finally have PT that looks at body function as whole. Everything is connected so when they just focus on one area they may not get to the root cause.

How is your week going?
