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...

I have been up to trying to stay cool! The only times are when I'm at work or in the pool. We have some kind of heat dome over us and it's not fun! Last week I did pool on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Tuesday and Friday I rode the bike at the gym after work. Other than that-no formal...

Sounds like you had a great Father's day! I got to see my dad and DS2 called his dad, but otherwise it was pretty low key. We've been watching lots of soccer. I got 4 workouts in last week-2 bike rides, 1 pool, and 1 upper body. I'm really trying to rest my foot and have stopped the...

Wow-I'm hoping I can hang on working until 62! I wonder how much AI will impact jobs. Did she still record or were they switching to a different type of recording. I get voicemails now that AI types out so I can read or listen to them. Feels like we're on the precipice of a big computer/data...

What a lovely story! That makes me so happy that the girls have a sister and it sounds like everyone had a happy ending. How was it seeing all the old friends? Must have been quite a reunion! Last week was just 3 workouts-2 pool and a bike ride. I just wasn't feeling weight lifting. I'm...

Well, I'm trying to get 2 good foot days in a row right now. I had to stand to pedal on Wednesday's bike ride and had a set back. My foot seems to get a lot of inflammation with any impact. So yesterday I did a Cathe live for upper body-toasted trisets. Felt great and am pleasantly sore...

I got to spend time with my niece and her husband this past weekend. We had the burial service for my sister in law Saturday. It was sad, but also celebratory since we shared so many memories. The chicken cat turned out great. I ended up cooking it on Friday and then just reheating it on...

Well, I tried a 30 minute walk and paid for it. I guess 20 minutes is where I'm at right now. It's so hard not to try to do a little more! I had a great weekend until last night when my foot/leg/back started to feel sore. I got to see a lot of soccer, relaxed, cooked, and read. We're...

Well, PT is working! I walked to and from work yesterday for the first time this year. I have PT today and think it'll be the last (for a while). I'd say I'm 85% of what I was before all this. Not bad since I was at 40% when I started PT. My new workout plan (DH jokes I'm forever changing...

We had a whirlwind of a visit with DS2 last week-weekend. We spent as much time with him as possible which included driving him to the wedding and to the airport. We all had dinner on Thursday night (first time in 6 years!) and he got to see extended family. It went so fast and I've been in a...

Hi! I did not see the eclipse-just pictures. I've been doing pool 2x a week and a 45 minute bike ride once a week along with my PT exercises. Slowly but surely I feel like my foot is getting better. I need to take a walk today to test it. I'm allowed 20 minutes to see how it feels. DS2...

Well, Monday night I got a text that my job was changing for the next month. So Tuesday I went to work and was with a provider and someone on light duty took over my responsibilities. She is getting a total knee replacement on April 17th and I'm told that at that time I'll return to my regular...

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...

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...
