Oh my Megan, I am sorry to hear this. I hope that you can get better asap. Many prayers to you.
Thank you so much Staci... I am looking forward to the day that this is behind me and I can start walking my dogs again boy do I miss it bad
Oh I bet. I can't even imagine how you must feel not being able to. It will be so nice when you get to again
This all started back in October 2022 ...when I fell into one of my dog's craters when playing ball with them ..I broke my ankle and tore tendon's and ligaments ...I have had a total of 10 surgeries I sooooo want this behind me and my active lifestyle back.. I am not one to rely on others but my daughter has been an amazing helper and I am soooooo grateful for her
Was this a maisonneuve fracture? Just curious because I went through the same thing some years back. Broken my ankle and the speed and torque of it all shredded tendons, ligaments, everything up to my knee and snapped my leg bone run under the knee. Good times for sure.0 -

Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 19, 2024)
PW: 239.6
CW: 241.2
I'm not worried or upset about the gain as I was in good shape yesterday and last night was senior night for our high school son's volley ball team. The game started late because of a tornado drill while the JV team was close to finishing up, then we had senior recognition, and then we went all 5 games (we won in the end but it was very close) so it was after 9 pm before we got to dinner. It was too late to fix something so we went out for pizza and beer and I was famished so no surprise I was a little 'weighed down' this morning. On a positive note, I started walking in the mornings this week since it's been getting warmer so as long as I keep that up, I should be headed back in the right direction in no time.2 -

Charging my watch for the night, so I’m calling my steps for the day. Work was busy. I work at a university and today we celebrated our graduates in our department. I ran errands to pick up food etc., and set up/tore down the banquet on my own. My hips and back are hurting, but hoping a good nights rest will alleviate the pain. Night all!!

PW: 145.0 pounds (gained 4.3 pounds)
CW: 141.5 pounds (re-lost 3.5 pounds)
Need to re-lose 0.8 pounds to get the last bit of the previous gain off.
Then need to re-lose 1 more pound to get back to my weight of 139.7 pounds on February 17th.
Still dealing with multiple health problems in flare up so just trying my best to do what I can handle when it comes to walking and healthy cooking and healthy eating.3 -

After some more days with (minus)zero energy 🙄 today I finally got to doing some much needed chores in the house 🙃 Tomorrow I'm planning to start building up my steps again.. That is if the weather is a bit cooperative.. Lots of heavy showers, wind and it feels so cold outside this past week..1
