    Machka- I am glad you are getting an MRI to get your hip checked out. Did you fall? Curious as to why she thinks you have fractured it. I would have bet any amount of money it was a nerve/muscle issue. Either way, rest up! Sending hugs!
    ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    She got me to do a whole bunch of things. One of the things I could not do was to hop with my right leg. I could with my left, but couldn't even get one hop out with my right ... no strength and lots of pain. I would have thrown up if she had insisted.

    She ran me through a bunch of other tests and said that my muscle strength is not bad and my range of motion isn't bad, but when it comes to any kind of pressure that involves the hip area, I can't do it. I guess I'm showing all the signs of a hip fracture.

    Also for two weeks now, I've barely been able to walk, and things like climbing stairs has been a massive, and painful challenge.

    She thinks it is a stress fracture which may have started up in November, but the half-marathon moved it into something more serious.

    I'm so sorry. When I had my hip issue, like you, I just pushed through it -- kept running, racing, etc. I finally went in and told the doc, "I want to see exactly how stupid I've been," and they immediately did an x-ray. Fortunately, I didn't have a fracture -- just the SI joint disfunction. Let's hope for a better outcome for you, as well.

    Beth so glad you made it home okay, driving in those conditions is one of my biggest fears, I am a snow wuss. DH had to drive home in a "snow squall" today, not a blizzard but visibility was horrible, I was biting my nails waiting for him to get home.

    Kelly I hope you picked a movie to watch 'cause you work so hard!!! You accomplished more during your snow day than I could hope to accomplish in 3 days off! ;)

    Did exercise today but am in an overeating spiral right now, tomorrow is another day.

    lanette I’m fessin’ up, ‘‘twas my bday this past weekend. You all might remember that my DH and I have the same b’day and we decided to make it our wedding day as well. So.... happy Birth-iversary ;) to us!

    Funny that we are discussing legal estate decisions of late here. We are helping DH’s mom redo her will as well as our own. You just never know and at least you’ll have the basics set up.

    Stay warm and safe everyone. NYKAREN

    Congrats!! :)

    NYKaren: Congrats to you and DH

    Machka: Crossing my fingers MRI is negative. Sending you healing energy. Rest, and more rest.

    Beth: Glad you made it home safely. Hope DS is okay now.

    Felicia: Love your pix. I miss Mexico, too. Hope you'll have a guestroom in PdC. B)

    I might be buying a pre-owned car in next few days. I've been casually searching, then found 'the one'. Today my mechanic gave it an inspection and declared it 'awesome'. So, now just have to ask seller to shave a few $$$ off the price. It is already below Kelley Blue Book.

    Today was my 3rd day of intentionally not working out. The hand feels fine, but instructions say not to lift, push or pull anything over 5 pounds, and to keep it clean and dry. Oh bother. At least I can get on the recumbent bike for a little bit of movement.

    Michele - invisible yes. But, you always support everyone. I really value your input :)

    Hi all: DH has been a poop all day today and frayed just about all my nerves. Nothing was right for him today including road construction signs. He complained about everything including the dog, cats and my driving and then chalked it up to he is just "irritable". Well he just needs to get over it. I feel for him, I really do but not so much when he acts like this. Food is going well and I have been able to exercise more consistently. Tomorrow is my birthday and I am planning a small piece of Boston cream cake into my meal plan.

    Lisa - I used the CPM with my first knee replacement not with the second. Studies have shown that they do not significantly improve outcomes.

    Machka - Hope the hip is not broken.

    Beth - So glad you made it safely home.

    Tracey - Sending good thoughts for just the right job to show up.

    KJ - Glad you got a snow day. Hope you watched that movie.

    Rori - Hope things work out so you get the car.

    Michelle - Safe travels to SC and have fun.

    Allie - Enjoy the day with your DD.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA who is glad she no longer lives in SD where the wind chill is -56*

    Machka! I really hope you’ll think about using a walker around the hose and office. It can keep you from irritating the tissues within the joint more. Pain is to tell us something is wrong. A candor walking stick puts a great deal of strain on the arm involved, which can cause further damage. Have you had a bone density scan?

    Beth, I drove straight trucks for 25 years in weather that got pretty scary, but the weight helped a lot now I’m very glad of AWD on my car and available manual shift to a special lower gear. Be very careful. If it isn’t on a main road I dread the chance of being stranded or going off the road. Never had those fears in my truck.

    Please, all of you are important to me. I hope you take care no matter how good or bad the weather.

    Morning, another slow start to the work day, I'll take it!

    Heather Iove the power of sleep, I always feel it's the best cure all, glad that you've taken a turn for the better, now heal up those aching ribs from all that coughing!

    Rori sounds like the used car is a real deal, good luck with the negotiations.

    Working with little ones does build up one's immunity (and I get the flu shot) my younger colleagues are all suffering from various bugs right now. Luckily my years in service has made a difference. Purell and lysol are also best friends in my classroom.

    Heather ~ Glad you are feeling better. I agree with NY Karen that being in the teaching field among children does help you build up immunity.

    Rori ~ Congrats on a new to you car. Mine is 11 yrs old and I would love a replacement but not the car payments.

    Michele ~ You are not invisible! I glance at your diary sometimes and have always wondered how you can eat 1/4 cup of popcorn and 1/2 a chocolate bran muffin.

    Kylia ~ Such good news about Aubrey.

    Sue & NY Karen ~ Happy birthday to both of you.

    Allie ~ I think you would look good with longer hair.

    Hope this is not TMI: My giant Pom had an upset stomach yesterday and gifted us with piles of poop under the antique dining room table. Getting on my knees to clean it up was painful! But, it got done. Now I have to sanitize the floor.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Did 30MF Plateau Buster DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jari Love’s Revved to the Max DVD.

    Rebecca – great loss

    M – when it was recommended that Vince use crutches, he felt that he would probably hurt himself even more on them so he used a walker. Maybe that’s something you can use around the house? That’s the LAST thing you need right now (hurting yourself more)

    Kelly – I know that in PA if a SOE is declared, only essential (ambulance, fire) vehicles are allowed to be on the road. That’s the only time Vince’s company closed.

    Sometimes I, too, feel “invisible”. But then someone makes a comment about one of my posts and I know that I’m not totally invisible. One thing that sort-of bothers me is when someone just “likes” your diary. I don’t know if they truly looked at it or not. But I just assume that they do. I know that I like to look at other’s diaries to get ideas for different foods to have.

    Beth – good thoughts for you and your drive. Update: so glad you are safe

    Pip – do you have special clothing that you wear while riding when it’s so cold outside?

    Grace – I get that way, too. Upset and then I want to eat, eat, eat. When I get that way, what I do sometimes (I know this sounds a bit gross) is have a bit of vinegar. After than, I don’t seem to want anything

    Rita – great news about the echo!

    Had Newcomer board meeting today. We stayed afterwards and talked to the gal who is the president. She seemed open to the idea of keeping the old directory assuming this guy can maintain it. I can’t see why not since he did it for months. Adra presented this “new” application. Really, the only difference between this one and the one we were using is the wording regarding the new pricing structure. Why did she go thru all that work? Because she’s a control freak.

    Rori – I hope you get that car!

    Looks like I’ll be going to SC Friday. This one gal from ceramics is driving and I’ll probably get some paint and want to see what this other lady has in stock in ceramic bisq. Well, I originally was going to go to the water aerobics class but I’m not crazy about the substitute teacher so I don’t mind missing. I’ll probably do some HIIT instead.

    Damn straight skippy! Sometimes I layer up. I have to b careful cu sometimes I can overheat so by the time I get home I’m stripping off clothes as fast as I can. When I am on the road, I don’t pull over and take something off to cool down. I will just suck it up til I get home
