  • My trainer went really easy on me Monday. It felt so good to do it!! She had a toe issue yesterday and we had to cancel today. I'll see her Friday. Collin will be here shortly and the playtime will begin. Maybe I'll walk after he is p/u. Pat and I need to make soup tho, so we'll see what works out. We took Collin to the…
  • I only have 6.30 miles so far. I need to talk my Grandson in to more walks. Chris
  • Happy Retirement, Shelley!! I love it! Sometimes the day is so long you'll wonder where all the sunshine came from! You get to go to the grocery store when there aren't a ton of folks like when you were doing it after work or on Saturday. AND your coffee is poured in your cup and not your thermos. Have fun!! I get to go to…
  • Good job, Paula! and I'll let you know if Pat is ever in your area…😁 Ronan is over today playing video games w/Grandpa. I haven't done anything. That's my Sunday! Chris
  • Paula!!! I do that to my little toes…both of them, or run into a chair leg! Ouch! We had the boys for a while so Sara & Pete could go to a funeral service. Took a walk to the farm and around but no sleeping for Collin. I think it was because Pat and Ronan went with us and it was too much distraction for Collin. I am…
  • Kathy & Shelley, we can do this.
  • Happy May Day, my friends! Here I thought my hand would be all better…but noooo! I am recovering and healing just fine…dumb finger is still broken and hurts sometimes. I am out of the cast but in a wrap-splint thing. At least I can take it off when using my right hand it a better idea than using my left.🤗 I go back in 2…
  • Adding 11.12 miles to my 32.81 which gives me 43.93 miles this month. Thank you, everyone, for your Well Wishes! I got my cast off today and I'm now in a removable splint-thingy that I can take off when I really need my right hand. Doc said my little finger is healing nicely…sigh. I go back in two weeks. See you all in…
  • I'm in for 50 miles in May. Hope everyone is doing okay. Chris
  • Today was a total rest day for us. Well, I did instruct husband on making soup, again. 😘 And I ground coffee beans while he was stirring soup! Chores done! Now I'm drinking coffee and reading. Cast comes off in three more days!! Pat was telling me about one of his buddies years back that took a hammer to his cast…I am sooo…
  • Paula, thank you for that info. Before we moved here, we lived at the bottom of a court. The sidewalk in front of our house was a tripping hazard!! We talked to a guy who fixed sidewalks, he referred us to the city. The city came out, pulled up the two squares of concrete and laid two brand new concrete slabs. They charged…
  • Kathy, my issue is the bad sidewalks in this town. Walking in the bike lane is so much easier for me but I get grief from Patrick about walking in the street. I seem to find all the places where tree roots lift the sidewalk or the panels are uneven and hit them with the toe of my shoe and can't recover from that …ugh!…
  • Had Collin this morning. Watched a bunch of Paw Patrol. Ronan is here now. Going to do homework w/Grandpa in a few mins. I got to speak to the young man next door that helped me w/his brother when I fell. He said I made jokes the whole time I was down. 😁 Cast off in six days…not counting today. So, so frustrated w/it. I'm…
  • Thank you, my friends for the well wishes. CT scan reports my brain is back to normal. I am feeling much better. Cast comes off in 8 days!! My sweet husband made our soup under my direction the other day…it was hysterical…"Why do I have to do it that way?" "Why can't I just …" …sigh…Just Do It, Man!!! 🤣😘😍 I'll still keep…
  • We had Collin this morning. We three went for a walk around our park then stopped at the playground so Collin could climb and slide. The we walked over to No Name so he could dig for dinos in the sand. He's so cute! Ronan is here now playing w/Grandpa and doing homework. Our housekeeper came today. She called me last week…
  • Happy Easter, everyone! Chris
  • Shelley, got msg. from Doc. No bleeding!!! I am back to normal…sort of. As normal as Christine has ever been!! I'm happy. I'm doing shoulder exercises. I hope it works on the shoulder issue I'm having. So far so goo! I'll have an exray the 30th to see if the Doc can figure out what's going on. I get my cast off on the 30th…
  • No kids today. Holiday!! I do have my CT scan at 4:30 this afternoon. Got my fingers crossed. Just doing nothing and drinking coffee! Chris
  • We have the boys again today. Sara is having Egg Coloring Night this evening, but we are not going. I can't color eggs with this cast and I don't want to face her friends and MIL with this face and cast, etc. Tomorrow is a school holiday so we won't have the boys, but I do have my CT scan in the afternoon. I am doing…
  • Kathy, love the picture of your mom! And what Paula said is so, so true. We had the boys today. My bruises are looking better. Chris
  • Shelley…cute puppy! Paula and Kathy - keep going. The numbers always change…up…down…up…down. We had Collin this morning and Ronan this afternoon. I did one set of the exercises my trainer left me. I'll keep doing them but it's not fun by myself. 😒 Pat went online this morning and rescheduled my CT scan…he got a Friday the…
  • Adding 9.26 miles…which gives me 20.37 miles so far. Chris
  • Thank you everyone for your Well Wishes! My face is getting better. I'll have scars added to my forehead scars. It's hard having my right hand in a cast!! Doing things with my left hand is so awkward! My Sweet, darling husband has been great. Thank you all again! Chris
  • Good job everyone!! We had Collin this morning. My trainer came over and worked with Pat and me on the PT exercised my doc gave me. She is so good to me!! Kaiser has messed up my next CT scan. It's supposed to be a Thursday drop in but just found out it has to be scheduled…now the end of the month…Egads,man!! Chris
  • It's a bit hard to do things with your left hand when you are right handed and your right hand is in a cast!! Egads, man!! Well, we don't have anything going today so it's coffee and books for me! I hope everyone's weekend went okay. Chris
  • The kids all came over for a visit this afternoon. It got a little loud but I was so happy to see Sara!! I'm going to drink coffee and read now. Chris
  • Got my stitches out today! Hoping to start walking on Monday. I'll see how the weekend goes. Yes, my sweet husband is wonderful!! This cast is driving me nuts, tho! Chris
  • Got a new purple cast today. will be in it until the 30th…ugh! Blood work all came back normal. We'll see what my doc says if I can go back to my trainer soon. Or I'll get on the recumbent bike. Pat is making soup. He's washing dishes and feeding me and WOW!!! He's taking good care of me! Think I'll keep him!! Chris
  • Shelley, they put me on different meds and told me to come back for another CT scan the 17th. Go in about my finger tomorrow. Video appt w/primary care doc Thursday, stitches out Saturday. I hope to get back to my trainer Monday…hope… she brought us food Sunday! The best mashed potatoes ever! My sweet husband is taking…
  • I'm in for 75,000 total steps in April. I fell on my walk the 3rd. I don't know how I'm going to do this month. I was in the hospital for three days. Messed up my forehead and broke my little finger. 04/01 - 04/05 - 24,389 steps for 11.11 miles Good luck everyone! Chris
