    What great news @globalhiker. ALL your hard work has really paid off. And a forgotten 10-pound loss was a bonus.

    CONGRATS

    @chicbuc did you take the GoodTimes bus tours to Biloxi? We have taken that tour several times and plan on doing it over Thanksgiving. Good to get back on track.

    Still busy. Had to sit down to rest my leg. I think my IT band is too tight. I probably need to roll my leg. 😕 No time for that.

    No wine since last post. Been to the grocery store 3 or 4 times, thought about it, but stopped myself.

    All the liver enzyme conversation is interesting. During the heaviest drinking period in my life, I was on a drug that require monthly blood draws for liver function because the drug could destroy my liver. You know, the doctor never told me there was anything to be concerned about nor that there wasn’t anything to be concerned about. Hmmmm… 🤔

    YEESH!!! I am a little concerned your DR. did not give you better insight about your liver. Especially if they were doing monthly blood draws for a drug that caused issues.

    What is the IT band for?

    The iliotibial, or IT, band is a long fibrous band of fascia tissue that runs from the outside of your hip down to the outside of your knee. It has a complex job description: it helps lift your leg to the front and to the side of your body, and it supports your knee during flexion and extension.

    Unfortunately, my hip down to my knee is hurting badly, but the inside and outside of my ankle and up the outside of my calf is also hurting. The only thing I can think of is overuse from walking 2.5-3 miles a day or being on my feet cooking for long periods of time. I sit to work for 8-9 hrs a day which I’m sure doesn’t help because it’s not elevated or being stretched or anything.
