Good Evening Everyone!

Thank you all for your support and advice. I did some research as I remembered reading something in a book about an ankle sprain. What I found cam from a respectable health site. Starting rehab within the first 72 hrs is important. It also had some exercises to do. I did some before bed as well as followed doctors instructions for icing and elevation. This morning it felt much better. Lucky since I had to do a bit of walking with crutches today. Waiting for results for my shoulder and got my taxes sorted out and done. Also completed my Son's taxes for him. Tonight my toes feel stiff so working on wiggling them on and off.

Good Evening Everyone!

Even the combined exercise yesterday didn't equal 10 minutes. But that's ok. I do what I can. Today I got some walking with crutches running errands. Also did a little movement with shoulder and foot.

Good Evening Everyone!

For those that didn't catch it, last Monday night I sprained my ankle just before getting off the bus. Not sure how I hurt my shoulder but will find out tomorrow if anything major is wrong. My ankle is better today but will see tomorrow how it feels. I spent most of the morning resting my foot in bed. This afternoon had two fillings done, and went grocery shopping. Tomorrow going to my friends to celebrate Cinco de Mayo so probably won't be checking in.

Cs, I sure hope you get the necessary treatment to get better! Sprains are no fun.

Frugal, I hope things have calmed down between your roommates. Best not to get involved if you can.

Well, I microwaved my lean cuisine gluten free balance bowl. It was roasted potatoes, turkey, a little gravy, green beans and a few cranberries. It was delicious, and it only had 23 net carbs. I started to look at similar bowls, but they had 50 carbs!

I sure hope they do more gluten free lower carb ones. Most of the ppl in the US are diabetic or prediabetic, and a lot just don't know it yet. One's insulin level will raise, sometimes for many years, before it starts to affect the blood glucose. I wish I had known. Docs need to test the hormone insulin some more.

Good Evening Everyone!

Today has been a good day. Got dishes and laundry done. Also played cards with Hubby. Ankle is a little sore tonight so am glad I have rested it today. Tomorrow is TOPS and the dentist for another filling.

Good Evening Everyone!

Becca sounds like a great day!

Today was a good day. Went to TOPS and had a small gain. With all that has been going on I think I did ok. Walked to and from the dentist. The farthest I have walked let alone with out crutches. Feeling it now but rest, movement and ice will help it feel better and continue to heal. Got my physio reminder for Friday. Yesterday got my exam back. Completely forgot all about it lol. I got perfect on it. Haven't been studying as it's just not comfortable to sit at my desk and can't study lying down. Oh well.

Good Evening Everyone!

Today was a beautiful summer like day. Finished the weed whacking because last night they said it was going to rain on Friday till I think it was Tuesday. I know to expect it to change but not to the point where the only rain is Friday evening now. But I will wait and see what happens. Just means more laundry done. We've almost got it caught up. I also went for a walk to run some errands. Tomorrow morning is physio. With how my ankle is doing with what I have been doing at home I think I will work on my shoulder instead. I need to be able to use it without pain. My Son is coming tomorrow to spend the weekend. I believe he will be going home after his orthodontic appointment early Monday morning.

Good Evening Everyone!

Frugal - I will not preach to you as I know you know what you need to do. But I will pass on a tip that's been given to me many times as a reminder. My tip is set an alarm or timer to remind you to get up and move. Use the tip or not it's your choice. Just thought I'd share it.

It's been crazy around here since my Son showed up on Friday last week. There's been parties at my friend's (for fun and of course for my Hubby's bday). Saturday spent the afternoon trying to get my Son in a walk-in clinic. Didn't work. Sunday went to Church and spent the rest of the day with Son at a walk-in clinic for his toe. Monday morning was the orthodontist for Son. It was an hour or more. Tuesday was TOPS and I lost 4.5 lbs! Also had to take Son to orthodontist for continuation of previous day. Also did weeding and waited for my Tupperware order to be delivered. Grabbed a quick bite and left for my fair board meeting. Wednesday ran errands and celebrated Hubby's bday. Thursday morning was physio for my shoulder. It was feeling much better till after the new exercise was added. Spent the rest of the day sleep and reading as I wasn't feeling well. Today I slept on and off till 11 am not feeling well. But better than yesterday. Shoulder is still in a lot of pain so not doing my exercises until tomorrow. My ankle is at about 90% healed. Looking forward to doing my morning walks again once my stomach feels better.

CS: wtg on your weight loss! I'm glad your shoulder is improving, that your ankle is almost healed, and hope that you feel better soon. It's a good tip to set an alarm to move. If I don't move some each hour, my whole body freezes up and I can barely walk!

Frugal: I need to exercise more too. My recumbent bike is underneath some stuff. I guess my exercise begins with cleaning out that room.

I put a whole chicken in the crock pot with some herbs, and it was delish served with a side of cauliflower. The next day, I stripped the meat off the bones and made a low carb chicken tofu ginger soup. Walmart sold me an enormous hen!

Sending hugs! Enjoy your Sunday!

Good Evening Everyone!

Didn't make it in yesterday as I was at my friend's for a Victoria day BBQ if drunken chicken and macaroni salad. It was an awesome time as always.

Today went to TOPS. Down 1.75 lbs this week. That's a loss 2 weeks in a row. I am determined to do it again next week. Also went to my friends again and hung out and had dinner. Now watching the voices finally and Blake's that season.
