L144S...WOW!!! I can see everything!!! I had the Lasik on Friday at about 8pm, went home and slept till 3:19am, I put in the drops and walked out of the bathroom and looked down my long hallway and I could read the clock on the microwave, WOW! I had been faithful as far as the post op requirements. Post-op day one I had routine check up and was 20/20...and told it would improve over time. Night driving is a little fun, with the starburst effects but not too bad. I do have some eye strain tonight as I write this (computer oriented, I'm sure) I have had abosolutley NO pain, NONE!!! How wonderful, best money ever spent...thanks for the pep talk! Surgery was actually at he Lasik Vision Institute in Burlington, Ma...directly across the street from Lahey Clinic... Dr Sheth was the man (board certified at Mass Eye and Ear) He was wonderful, I highly recommend him and the procedure.
Liligurl I was about to send you a PM if you didn't post! I am so glad for you! it really was in hindsight the best money I ever spent too. I saw a diferent Dr. but results were the same, the hardest thing for me was going to bed thinking I had forgotten to take out my lenses, but harder was getting use to NOT putting them on in the morning.
I hope you are getting some walking in as the weather seems quite mild.
L, Thanks for the "warm" wishes. I did get on the TM and do 6 today, but I never did any yesterday. I walked around and took pictures of the snow and just the cutest one of a squirrel on top of the corn bin. It's a huge steel bin. The squirrel has figured ouy if he climbs, way up high, there is a vent he can enter. My husband thinks there are 4 of them. He has started leaving the ground door open for them, but they still climb way up to enjoy their snack sitting on top of the bin. Sooooo cute.
liligurl, I'm so glad everything went well. Happy healthy eye vibes are coming your way.
lovnmom...thanks for the vibes.
L144S...actually, I haven't gotten any walking in this week. We meet with a really nice surgeon who gave us the BAD news. It appears Brian (hubby) won't be putting off the hip surgery for a year like he had hoped. We finally got to see the MRI and the X-rays and they are not good. His left hip is almost dislocated and that is why he is experiencing lots of pain, it is just bone on bone, there is no cartilage left in the hip socket. His right is bone on bone also, but atleast it is still in place at the moment. We are meeting with the surgeon on 3/17 to schedule surgery. He's hoping 4/5 days in hospital then home for rehab (PT) then back to work in 3 months (light duty for 6 months) this does not make him happy as he is an inner perimeter security investigator at his Super Max prison, where he has inmate contact as part of is job, on light duty he will probably man a tower, not a hightlight to his investigator credentials. We took the plunge and joined a new gym this week, at the surgeons urging...2 pools and a hot tub. Now there is no excuse not to comply with therapy homework, hee hee. We plan on going this weekend and scoping it out...they have a 3 lanewalking/ running track, so nice not to have to rely on a treadmill. Hubby was told he could swim, eliptical, and stairmaster on a pain free day, upper body weight training only...however no tennis, spinning, racketball or basketball. He says in time he will be whole again, hee hee...we've moved out of depression mode onto courage and facing it head on, I told him I expect nothing less. On a positive note he was told no more running and has agreed to cheer me on at all my races this year, I have committed to 25 races so far and he is right on board. He is my cheering squad, as I am his. ************************************************** ************* Now onto HAPPY HAPPY NEWS... We finally have a HOME INSPECTION scheduled for this Friday for the adoption!!! We have been waiting months for this. This is huge, now we can move on in the adopting process and get he MAPP classes out of the way (10 weeks of parenting classes) I posted a pic of hubby under profile pic...check out the shape he is in, and that was achieved with his bad hips?, woohoo! can't wait to see where he will be with new ones, mind you up until last week we were running 15/20 miles a week. Now I know why he said he hurt afterwards, but he continued to run.
liligurl, You sound so excited over your new eyes. Awesome, how terrific for you. It's really great how you and your hubby support each other. I'm sure your home inspection will go off with out a hitch. You have so much good going on. Hang in there. I'll be checking out the hubby pic!!!
Helen, I know it's not your goal, but you impress me every month. Do you ever have the, " I don't want to do this today, " days like I do??????
Got myself busy and did 3 on the TM yesterday plus, 20 min each of yoga and pilates. Got busy again this morning and did 2 on the TM and 20 min of yoga. I'm following my kids all around for basketball tomorrow, but if I stay focused and waste no time I can still get in the 17 miles I'd scheduled for this week. I'm not nearly as far behind as I'd thought. The sun has returned and I'm feeling my mo jo coming back. The sun is actually up (not all the way) by 6:30am now and is still out (somewhat) at 6pm. We actually got to like 23 dgrees above 0 yesterday. I can live with that as long as I gots me some sun!!!!
Happy striding all!
50 of 72 miles
8 of 9 strength traing videos, yes I actually participate. I don't just watch them!!
This morning was one of those days, I went out and had a curry and rather too much beer last night with friends from running club, but even though I didn't really fancy it, my plan was to run to work, and my work clothes were at the gym so it made more sense to go with the plan than to work out in my head how to get there without running. And it helps having a goal that I need to train hard for, I don't do it because of my weight any more, I do it because I want to break 3:45 in my next marathon.
