Getting us started since it will be March in 3 minutes.
No workout today. It took quite a while at my appointment. They had to do blood work and I had to wait a bit for my prescription, plus it is a long drive. I am starting a new med leflunomide (Arava) to take along with the hydroxychloroquine. The doctor thinks with the two I should be able to feel as good as when I get the steroid injection. I finally gave in tonight and took it. Reading side effects and possibilities and some discussion groups I am a bit worried. I will go to bed and hopefully feel okay when I wake up.
Debbie, nice work on the treadmill and PT exercises. I sort of like doing preacher curls on the ball because it keeps my shoulders out of it. It is uncomfortable on the elbows though. I know what you mean on roads. We have some potholes that are more like craters and my little car cannot take it. You can't always see them soon enough when it is dark outside. It seems they say one thing and do something else with the money. Our city is putting sidewalks everywhere.
Belinda, nice job on getting STS 2 Total Body Trisets in today. I modify a lot. I have done wall push ups or elevated ones. My wrists just do not take push ups, and planks for very long. The mobility workout has a lot on hands and the walk out into a plank, tap shoulders, and knee ins and walk back hurts. Not an easy way for me to modify it. Normally I would just do the plank on my forearms. My wrists are sort of misshapen from the arthritis and those stretches with hands backwards and sideways do not feel good either. This last time I did it how Cathe did except a side move. The result was not good.
