Dam headaches!!!

I'm starting to think that my failing vision & headaches are related...

I have my semiannual appt w/my retinologist in a few weeks, if I can last that long. :(

Now I'll have to look up who's appointment is next, retinologist or rheumatologist.

Quick update

YAY! The new Weird Al album comes out tomorrow.

And so much for thinking that Jerome (PT) was amazing...my neck was stiff all weekend. :(

Sunday's workout

Tonight Ariel & I did PHH Power Stretch together! After Aaron broke the lamp on his ceiling fan! And I had another migraine on Saturday but this time I had the prescription! AND IT WORKED!!!

Dam Migraine!

I'm starting to think that migraines & flare-ups are related.

At least I have a new prescription that actually works!

Working out again

So at yesterday's PT appointment, I had a different therapist--Jerome instead of Lisa. At first I wasn't sure what to think since he asked me what we usually did and I figured that should be in my chart. Well, he was amazing! My half-hour turned into 45 minutes of "pleasureable torture", if that makes sense. He worked me really hard, so much so that I was sweating! And all I was doing was slowly raising & lowering 2 pound dumbells! It was all in the position, tho, to help restore my shoulder & neck muscles. It's amazing how quickly you lose what took so long to build, but he said that it will also return rather quickly. So after that workout on top of TJCPM1, I figured I'd need a good stretch today, so I just stuck with my favorite by Tony. Feels soooo good. HEY! That make this my first 6-day workout week since March!!!

Tuesday's workout

Can I get an "OUCH!"?? I am feeling the effects of having run out of Mobic a few days ago. Mobic is one of those drugs that you don't think works until you can't take it anymore. I think that this was one of the most painful workouts I've ever had. My joints did not want to cooperate. So I figured that since I was so stiff and in so much pain that I'd better not attempt any type of cardio. I almost stopped after the first ten minutes, but I knew I'd feel worse if I did.

So I plodded through since I just kept hearing my doctor telling me to work through it.

Migraine & Mobic

Which one will I choose? Since I'm out of Mobic, which one happened?

PHH Stretch is my all-time favorite workout! That's the one I return to whenever I'm overwhelmed or recovering from surgery...or another MIGRAINE!!

LIKE YESTERDAY! I've have 6 migraines in the last 6 weeks and had a DR's appt yesterday to discuss but had to reschedule since I couldn't sit up.

I'm going to go back to eating better and getting more sleep, since the pattern seems to coincide with Ariel starting high school.

This is getting ridiculous.

What's Your Destiny?

Betsy, your destiny is to be a Provider

Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with who you are at your core. As a Provider, you have a genuine nurturing concern for the welfare of others and you're eager to serve them. You can recognize exactly what people need and your friendly, helpful, social nature makes them feel comforted. With your kind and generous heart, you are personable, talkative, and outward with your emotions, and your openness and sensitivity makes you concerned about the way others view you. Along these lines, be careful not to blame yourself when things go wrong. You cannot prevent bad things from happening, even though your tendency to be orderly with a strong sense of right and wrong may lead you to believe you can. Accept that you do what you can to take care of things and that this will get you far in the world.

I've found my missing endorphins!

This feels SO good!!
I remember when I first joined BB and started working out with you guys. You were all so supportive (no, that hasn't changed!) and told me to work more to make the soreness disappear.
Oh, how I've missed this! NEVER thought I say that I missed working out. But now it feels so darned good! And I know that all the time and energy will not be wasted.
So today's workout was TJ20 and Abs. *SIGHS* I've missed this so...
Yesterday, I had to go to a funeral in Chicago so I just did PHH Stretch due to morning time contraints. I knew I needed to do something to keep those muscles moving.
Have I mentioned how good it feels to be able to work out again?

How popular are you?

Betsy - Means: Consecrated to God


How popular are you?

OK. let's see what happens

My 3rd attempt at an animated gif!

OMG!

OMG!!!!

I just finished TJ20 minute + Ab Jam after not having worked out hard since...March!

Here's what I posted in WOWY:

"Thanks SO much Isaca, SSDDinMI, WO4ever & DianaS!! That was great!! It's amazing how quikly you can lose what you worked so hard to build. "

Good thing I didn't start with a harder workout!! AW MAN! I forgot my HRM!

OH, my neurosurgeon said that it might take a year or never for the feeling to return in my left arm. The tumor started at the end of a nerve so part of the nerve had to be removed. I said well it could be worse. At least it's in a non-vital spot. And he said that most people can live with numbness over pain. And I agreed. I'll take this over the pain ANY day!

He also ordered another 4-6 weeks of PT since I've lost almost all of the muscle strength in my left shoulder.

FOOTBALL!!

Well, now I'm a Redskins fan. Yep, they have Antwaan Randle El.

Still got my Bears, who shut out the packers!! :D

Need more drugs!!

OK, now this is the THIRD migraine in, like, 5 weeks!!

WTH is going on?!?!?!
