@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!

@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!

@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.

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.

Tabatha

Hi all happy Thursday. @Dianedoessmiles1 they only ran a blood test and that test is where it showed up something was wrong. @macrat12, I lost instructions on how to do colors can can you tell me again.
I have been increasing my steps and exercise. Weight not moving as I would like but still losing an ounce or more but feeling good. Hugs all.

@Tabatha_Cain : the bingo is just for fun.
Good evening, everyone! It was a nice day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She worked 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 went for a long walk after lunch and I feel great! I did some dancing a while ago. Have a great night, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Oh I will definitely be exercising. I am just going to figure out a way to do so without pain. Like stretching and possibly some yoga. You are not going to beat Fit Force. We are a Force to be reckoned with. As you can see from our numbers. LOL I do miss having you on my team though. Just so you know. ❤️❤️❤️

good afternoon, everyone! it is a mostly cloudy 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 spending some time later on with one of my good friends. i have not seen this friend for a long time, so there will be a lot of catching up to do. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.

Thanks @macrat12 & @TwistedSassette color info. Hugs. Happy Friday the 13th. @Tabatha_Cain did your d.r give you any exercises for the pain. I know u tube has some exercises for back pain and leg pain. Hopefully can give you some ideas. @Dianedoessmiles1 you are funny (no exercise), but I will take the spa time if Tabatha doesn't want it. We will know Kayla's results next week. They do know she has too much protein in urine. Nice day, in high 70's low 80's. Other than that nothing new or exciting going on here.

@Tabatha_Cain, when I have massages done I first say "My spine is a mess. I can't have anyone work right along the bone, and be very gentle on my back. Is this agreeable?" Only once at a Chiropractor did he IGNORE What I said feeling "He KNEW what was better for me." He DID NOT!!! It was horrible. Thankfully, at the very least we can leave reviews, and believe you me, I SURE DID!! Hope the drive was pleasant.
@Kurtize, WOOHOO on the weight loss!! Kurtize, Joyce, and I are on the same team, PS4L! NICE JOB Joyce!! Our team this first week has done AMAZING all the way around INCLUDING Weight loss!! Hoping ALL Teams have the same results with the weigh in. This is our goal in order to be healthier. If we went up, that happens, it can always go back down. It's very rare we do not go up as our bodies adjust. SO HAPPY you are EACH HERE!! YOU MAKE the challenge worth the while!! TY TY TY TY TY!!
