@Tabatha_Cain - best wishes to your sister. That's a scary situation so I truly hope you have good results in that CT scan.
So far my own challenge is doing okay, I was awakened this morning early so I knocked out my stint on the mini stepper. I've gotten a bit out of shape so am trying to do 10 minutes on it every day, in addition to any other exercise I might do. I've also found that a little bit of full range of motion stretching just before bed is helping me sleep a lot better. So, I think that'll be the next habit I try to formalize!
I hope everyone is doing well in their healthy journey.2 -
@Tabatha_Cain : hugs and prayers for you, your sister and your whole family.
good afternoon, everyone! it is a mostly cloudy and mild day here today. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i went for a short run earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a long walk after lunch and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing. i went to the drop in art program this morning and i had a wonderful time. i have made a few friends there so far. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2 -
@Tabatha_Cain- prayers for your sister. My sister had esophagus cancer and surgery in the early 80's. They have come a long way. She and 4 other people were in medical books because they had lived more than 5 years after the surgery. Now they can control it so much better. Surgery is so much improved. Hopefully the CT scan will be clear. I was lucky I just have Barrett's esophagus and it hasn't turned into cancer. Dr said if it hasn't by now I will most likely die of something else.

@Tabatha_Cain, I sure hope she can help you out!! Pain is never ever good. It's our body telling us something is wrong. Hon here's hoping also your sis will be okay. It's scary for sure. WOOHOO on Joe liking the new place better!
@Sand_TIger, GREAT JOB!! Going slow will help you to not hit burnout with it. When doing your mini stepper are you watching TV or something you enjoy? Nicely done on the stretching!! I've been doing my legs before bed and also find I sleep better. You are doing GREAT!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a great day. I have my doctor appt today to talk about my ultrasound and the pain I am having. This is with the specialist. So we will see what he is wanting to do at this point. I have a history of cysts in my ovaries so this is nothing new. The fibroids apparently run in my family. My mother had them and had a hysterectomy and my sister had them and ended with a hysterectomy. So I am not sure if he is going to try other procedures first or just go right to the hysterectomy due to family history. So we will see. That is going to be rough. I am not sure what I will do if I have to have surgery. I do know I have short term disability that I pay for so depending on how long I will be out of work then I will still get paid like 70% of my pay. So that is good.
@Sand_TIger - It is really scary. We are hoping for the best. Her CT Scan is Oct 26th. So far away, but we will take it cause it is a lot closer than it could have been. That is good that you found a way to improve your sleep. I would definitely try and make that a habit.
@cormierannie - Thank you. I am gad your family is doing well.
@Kurtize - That is great that your sister is in the medical books. I hope your does not turn into cancer. Surgery has improved quite a bit since the 80's.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I am hoping today the doctor is able to come to a solution to help me with the pain. I really do not like hurting all day long. I hope my sister's cancer has not spread. We really need some good news in this family.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

@Dianedoessmiles1, yeah, I watch a YouTube video that I enjoy when I am using the mini stepper. It helps a lot. Boredom is probably my biggest enemy when it comes to exercise. I know, the advice is to always do something you enjoy, but when it comes to things I can do in my house with my existing equipment there is only so much that can be made enjoyable. Sometimes you just have to do the work.
That said, I can do some weight training at home, calisthenics, stretching, body weight work, that sort of thing. However, I understand cardio is pretty important too so that's usually mini stepper or running in place. Changing things up helps with the boredom! 2 -
good afternoon, everyone! it is a beautiful, windy and sunny day here today. my daughter says hi to all. she is working at her part time job today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i went for a short run earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i did my strength training workout a while ago and i feel great! i will be going for a long walk after lunch. i will be doing some dancing later on. i will be going to the building that's close to mine to play some bingo this afternoon. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

@Tabatha_Cain, I had mine taken out over 15 years ago. It was thought it was cancer, they ended up cutting me from my belly button down to the pubic bone. Sure that was painful, but after a week not as bad as I had thought. I still had to move hunched over, but still, as long as I did as I was told I was fine. Friends have had the 4 holes (or 3 for some) and theirs have been taken out. LOL One friend had thought it'd be a 8 week recovery (she'd not listen to anyone) she HATED to work and WANTED the time OFF, but she was healed enough to work after 2 or 3 weeks. LOL She was MAD MAD!! I did sort of giggle at her, I'd much rather of had the easier surgery. Of course, there are always variables. If you have the surgery please try to not worry. These are sadly done a lot and rarely do they go wrong.
@Sand_TIger When I had my stationary bike I used to read a book. I adore reading. The time SPED BY WAY TO FAST!! Sounds like you've got this!! WTG!!!! I do what I can on my good days and the other days Just do what I can though it may be small on those days it's from my inner being which is great. So happy you are here with us and everyone else too!3 -
@Tabatha_Cain], I wish you the best on your own results. Cysts can be such a pain - literally! It's pretty wonderful how surgery continues to advance, becoming less and less invasive. I'm glad you also have a good care team to figure out what is wrong and get you help. (I truly value that as I've spend long, long spans of my life with no doctors available to treat me.)
@Dianedoessmiles1, Yeah! I know what you mean! I don't have anything to prop a book on so I can turn pages or I might think about reading. I have this kind of temporary thing going on where I have my mini stepper behind a chair so I can use it for light balance if I need it. So a tablet serves to at least watch short videos on. It works!2 -
@Tabatha_Cain], hope your dr. had a plan hugs
Have a good day everyone. We are taking Kayla back to vets Friday, her blood work showed high protein and something with kidneys, so they are going to take a urine test and send it out to be analyzed. Hope is isn't' serious

@Sand_Tiger It's amazing when we want to do something we figure it out as you have! WTG!! Many short videos are pure entertainment!! Oscar has his on youtube. There aren't many and I need to do more!! LOL, THE FOOL daily does SOMETHING that entertains us!

@Kurtize did they run any other tests? We sure hope Kayla will be okay!3 -
Good Evening Everyone!
It's been crazy busy around here. Saturday was a friend's 69th birthday party. Drank more than I should have but still had a great time. It even opened up my ex's eyes that something was wrong between us. On Sunday I went to Church and then my brother's for Thanksgiving. On Monday the ex and I had a heart to heart about everything and he has asked me to give him a chance to change. I have agreed to that but we aren't back together officially yet as he has a lot to prove. Monday afternoon we went to my friends for Thanksgiving. Tuesday was the first day in the kitchen. It went well and had math class in the afternoon. Today was a full day in the kitchen. It's going well and we're definitely seeing who in the class bails for lunch before all the work gets done. Tomorrow back into the math class in the afternoon. My body handles the day fine until I get home and relax.

@Sand_TIger Highly recommend Get Fit With Rick for at-home cardio! He has a bunch of free videos on YouTube which he's adding to all the time - or for a fee, you can access an even larger library on his website. It's theoretically walking, but very fast-paced & low impact, has a variety of moves to work different muscles, and he chooses really great music where the step count is on the BPM.3

@TwistedSassette TY TY TY TY!!! I love Youtube for so many reasons with exercise. Including on my off days (today) chair exercise.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and it is going to be a great day. I went to the doctor yesterday and they are repeating my ultrasound in 3 months. As far as the pain I am feeling my OB says he is positive it is Osteitis Pubis. Which is inflammation in the cartilage in the pelvic bone. It is rare but it is cause by repeated stress to the pelvic area from running, or the fact that I have one leg shorter than the other, and many other things that can cause it. They really don't know exactly what causes it and it takes a long time to recover. According to the internet recovery can take up to a year. I basically have to lessen my physical activity until the pain stops and the work on strengthening my abdomen, back, hip flexors, and groin area. So there is nothing they can really do about that. I just limit my physical activity until the pain stops. They said twisting and pivoting are all things that can cause it. I guess not training properly for running can also cause it. Well last year I started jogging. I did use couch to 5k for a bit and then got bored with that app and just decided to wing it. So I probably over did it and then just did not pay attention to my body because I did 2 5k runs in 2022 and well this is apparently what happens when you don't train properly. Well I know I cannot stop all physical activity. I mean I have to do housework and all that stuff so my recovery is going to take a while. I am still going to be working out. I am just doing stretching and stuff instead of a lot of physical stuff.
@Sand_TIger - Changing things up definitely helps with the boredom. I need to be able to change things up every so often.
@cormierannie - Is the bingo just for fun or do you have a little pot that you win?
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am good. As you can see from above the fibroids and cysts are not causing my pain. So they are just going to monitor them and repeat in 3 months. If I start bleeding a lot then get back in right away because that would be a symptom of an issue with the fibroids. As far as the other issue they want me to rest from physical activity and take ibuprofen every 8 hours to help with the inflammation until it is healed.
@Kurtize - I really hope they can figure out what is going on with your pet. It is not a pleasant thing when we have a sick pet.
@CSEGUIN2 - So glad you had Thanksgiving with family. I honestly recommend couples counseling if you want to fix your relationship.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
