Hmm @bearly63 I don't get toe holes. Are you allowing a. Thumbs width between your toe and the end of the shoe? Maybe it's just the way you run? I get a callous on the side of my left big toe only because of my gait. Are the holes at the second toe? Is it longer? ETA…

The bruise is even more impressive today @Avidkeo ! Yesterday dh was fussing about whacking the back of his hand while trying to start the gas chainsaw. It's about the size of my pinky nail. I said "that's not a big deal" he disagreed and I showed him my leg. He said "omg! You need to go to the doctor!". Ya. I win.…

Ugh. I had to put on jeans today to get out for my appointment. Shoulder is uncooperative, even putting on deo is a challenge. And the jeans are so snug my shoulder isnt strong enough to pull them up. Tomorrow I get a shoulder shot. Today, Tylenol. Would love a nap but have skin appointment this afternoon. Food today?…

DH bought 3 pints the other day, one for each inhabitant of our home. I ate all of them.

@ddmom0811 I love egg McMuffins. Not crying about my childhood; there was a short time my mother worked at night, all night... and left my brother and I with her sister. When my maternal parent came to get us just before dawn, if she made enough that night, we’d get egg McMuffins. I thought they were the greatest things…

I agree. We did clinical this last semester at one and it was not service related from one fella I spoke to. I do think that there maybe an expense/rent, if you will, if there is a partial disability. I was really impressed with the one here. And he’d be among other vets. Dumps are bad. I really hope he finds respectable…

@quilteryoyo I know the stimulus money wasn't supposed to count against anyone on assistance. No idea why it'd count applying. Unfortunately (I think) Medicare does work where you have to expend all of your assets and resources before you qualify. So, yes I think you start over when he's exhausted his monies. Sounds like…

I did better in my do better goal! Ran 2 errands, walked an hour, picked up Walmart order, even cooked a vegetable dish for supper. And practiced violin. Yay me!, adulting.

The bruise Luckiy I haven't been shopping. But that means DH buys bachelor food. The Walmart pickup had potential to help lots of folks, its a joke. Like you @rheddmobile they don't get what you ask for and some of the substituted items are withoit thought, like vegetable broth and they sub bone broth. I know there is…

I thought about that. I have no pain pushing on my sides. Pushing on back muscles just causes spasms. It is easy to irritate anyway with the hip being wonky.

Omg @ddmom0811 I would have been mortified with that pharmacists conversation. @bearly63 sounds like it may be time to weigh the good and bad with the bone drugs. It’s not uncommon in older than you folks and those with osteoporosis to break a hip and lose mobility, wheelchair bound. I dated a guy who’s dad fell, broke his…

I like the idea of that wobble seat! I've never not had pain sitting, even as a kid. So if back pain is something that you've lived with for a long time, it could be hip. Hopefully the core work sitting helps. Let us know. I may have to try it out. @bearly63 yes the Garmin will use the HRM. It off to save battery which…

I think garmin gives so little because I do so little. My step count is usually 2200/day... wow slug. Yesterday I ended with 4300. It can’t tell that I was cutting trees and throwing brush into the ravine. I might as well be shopping, which isn’t the same expenditure. Obviously. What counts is that I was off the couch.…

Yay! My weight trend app is finally giving me a date I'll hit my goal of a 11.5 pound loss! August 2021. Hopefully I can keep the momentum! Back to some IF and ate stew, halo, sourdough butter, way over calories bit I did a lot of hauling brush, despite Garmin giving me 78 calories for 3.5 hours of work. Sure it was a bit…

@bearly63 omg he's a baby. I was thinking more like Daniel Craig, or Craig Ferguson Haha! Or that soccer player.. Beck. anywho woo woo!.. glad my auto correct entertained ya'll! I'm so gonna be a creepy old lady. @shanaber I was looking at the CRNA, certified RN anesthesiologist. I don't know if its what I want to do…

Well @shanaber that’s Popoo on the scale. I forgot about all the no-no’s with a pm. I like the idea of beary lifting for strength. He’s so stupidly spoiled. @bearly63 when I applied to PA school they used a central application site, CASPA. If her chosen schools use it, she can start that process now. It takes a while to…

Thanks @quilteryoyo I’m okay, happy I made myself get out. I’d think your body is signaling a deficit it wants to make up for. Maybe some roasted veggies or something modest if you want to keep it.

@RunsOnEspresso yup, if you were a black person, I promise that would have turned out differently. Even non-white officers stereotype non-white men. I can't imagine living like that, where your first response better be hands up and state why you are where you are so you don't get shot and use extreme caution in your atire.…

Food Dh made me an English muffin with cream cheese. And i had coffee. He had a good run yesterday so I doubt he's up for walking with me. I feel like I might be letting my autonomy slip away; I won't cook, shop, dread having to go back to church, and don't even want to go walk by myself. I take DH with me everywhere now.…

@shanaber Back when this chronic pain became significant and the radiologist report of my first MRI was ominous I cried often. My hip surgeon even shielded me from how complicated I was. Just said I was "a mess" and always addressed one thing at a time, waiting for the next set of symptoms. I guess he did the right thing…

Well. I had a rather productive day. I see what dh says about me on the couch all day. I haven't sat as much today, did play some zombie games and ate and entire thin crust dominos pizza. I started clearing out last semesters clutter pile, books I have to keep (like all of them), and dd's to send back. I am working on a…

I hope those headaches get better soon, er stay better. I had about 4 days of headaches not long ago. It followed 2 days of extreme tiredness. Then a few more days of mild headaches. I get migraines, stress, food, hormones, and seasonal allergies will trigger headaches for me, so I dismissed it as normal unless other…

@ddmom0811 Mmm choc. chip cookies! Panera bread has cookies that are so good. mmm. @RunsOnEspresso I've been trying to record my weight in a trend app regardless if its up or down. It's not easy. @shanaber thinking of you. Today. I get to clean my house! Then cook something i'll enjoy and is healthy. It's been windy and my…

Yes finals done. Except tomorrow's violin. I'm not concerned about the grade there. I'm sure she'll give me an A, but I feel I don't work as hard as I should. so, meh. It's not an academic pursuit. I got the final exam grade today in the B class, 94.25% on a comprehensive final... I should feel good about it, I am trying…

Haha! I have my margarita on the rocks 😅 just to avoid sphenopalatine gangloneuralgia! Eta. DH entered me in a drawing for some running shoes. Surprise! I won the opportunity to buy a pair, haha! So I can now retire my 3 year old On's with doggie poop on them

haha! @bearly63 Menopausal scale memory! mine weighed me 10 pounds lighter this morning. It has a sense of humor i guess!

@Avidkeo right? I told DH, "betcha can't do this". Thanks all for letting me "wah wah" bout it. I didn't go walk. I asked dh to go and he was busy spraying the yard, so I just cut some more tree stick-branches and frumped over it. My weight is still on an upwards trend of an added pound a month. I told DH that perhaps I…

I'm going for a walk. So incredibly fat feeling today. Sure it's all the bread. Shocking how crooked my leg is. I hope I don't trip myself on my walk. Oh that is both legs rotated inward. My docs got his work CUT out for him. Get it? Bone gets cut...

@bearly63 I only get hot at 8pm and when I first wake up and the metabolism changes, my face gets itchy and if I touch it, it becomes whelts. I’ve only had a few nights where I am hot and freezing. Luckily I’ve not had and bone density issues, last dxa I was above the 95th %. But I was running then. I know sitting around…

@shanaber I got a D in modern physics. I took it as an elective, loved the material but did not commit the time to it. Eek. I thought you might be sorting through the health concerns. It’s understandable. Feel free to share as needed. It’d be nice to give back some of that support you’ve offered so freely. So, anything you…
