I MILE

IM SO EXCITED, I WAS ABLE TO WALK 1 MILE TONIGHT WITH JUST A LITTLE DISCOMFORT, IT WASNT FAST BY NO MEANS BUT IT WAS A MILE, THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST TOLD ME YESTERDAY TO START BACK WALKING AND DO IT UNTIL IT BECAME UNCOMFORTABLE,, ABOUT 3/4 OF MILE I FELT IT START TO TIGHTEN UP BUT I WAS ALMOST FINISHED WITH THE MILE SO I DID,, FELT SO GOOD TO DO IT,, IM GONNA GET THERE!, I AM A MARATHONER, MAYBE A WALKING MARATHONER BUT I WILL GET THERE,
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND PRAYERS

PHYSICAL THERAPY

WOW, JUST GOT BACK FROM PHYSICAL THERAPY, I CAN SEE WHY THEY ARE PAID THE BIG BUCKS, SHE WORKED ME OVER BUT I FEEL BETTER ALREADY, TOMORROW SHE SAID I WILL WONDER WHAT HAVE I DONE,, SHE SAID MY S - I JOINT WAS VERY IRRITATED, AND THAT MUSCLE ADJACENT TO IT, STARTS WITH A P IS STRAINED, BUT SHE SAID IT COULD BE FIXED,, WHEN SHE WAS MASSAGING THAT AREA I HAD TO BITE THE PILLOW, BUT I KNOW ITS FOR MY OWN GOOD. EXERCISES 2 - 3 TIMES A DAY AND RETURN TO HER FRIDAY. AND SHE TOLD ME TO START WALKING SOME, 10-15 MIN, SO IM HEADED TO DO THAT NOW,, NOT SURE IF I CAN RUN ANYMORE, BUT IM GOING TO CHICAGO, EVEN I HAVE TO WALK, THATS FINE WITH ME. AT FIRST WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS TRAINING FOR THE CHICAGO MARATHON, SHE SAID ARE YOU CRAZY!,, BUT SHE WARMED UP AND SAID I BETTER BRING THEM A PICTURE OF ME AT THE FINISH LINE.
THIS HAS REALLY HELPED MY FEELINGS,, THAT AND ALL THE SUPPORT FROM YA'LL AND MY FAMILY,, THE HUSBAND FELT SO BAD FOR ME, HE SAID DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET YOURSELF BACK IN THE GAME, THATS A GOOD MAN, I DONT THINK ANY OF US COULD REALLY DO THIS WITHOUT SOMEKIND OF SUPPORT SYSTEM.
AGAIN THANK YOU ALL,,

blog heaven

well, i blogged couple of days ago, cant find it now, must be in blog heaven somewhere.
having a really good time with the husband, getting lots of honey do's done( you men know what i mean), plus just some loafing time

back still not 100% and there are days i wonder if it ever will be, just that stabbing pain in my buttock area, but talked to a physical therapy and we are pretty sure its sciatica ( sp i know im a nurse but thats a hard word, ha) and ive got exercises that im doing, and im thinking it might be better, i was so disappointed that i might not be able to do this, and i think when i did, it made me even more determined that i REALLY wanted this,,i told my husband i missed the blogging, the walking/running and my new friends and the meetings,,
ill be there this saturday, still might not be able to run,but ill be there,,
im determined!
hope you have a good week
later all
