Well chickies...I think I may be heading in the right direction with all of this back pain. I spoke with a PT today at a place where I am going to get started soon. I called them about the original appt being so far out and they called me back and said "We will eval you and get you started sooner!" I'm so glad of that. And this seems to be just what I think I need to take care of my back. Their treatment style is holistic and looks at all aspects before jumping right in and starting to manipulate! So, I'm hopeful. Unfortunately, DH and I are in a disagreement about my plans for the hiking trip. I have several options here and I am wondering what you all think (since you give the best and most honest words of encouragement of anyone I know!)
Option 1. Cancel my trip and go camping with DH & DD for the week (he said he would be disappointed in that because it took him so long to get used to the idea of us taking seperate vacations and now he is looking forward to spending the week with just DD!!!)
Option 2. Go on the trip, see how I feel and don't hike if it's going to be too aggravating.
Option 3. Get started with this PT, my back is better by mid July and I really start to work out and get going so I can hike all the mountains!
Option 4. Wait and see!! Of course, time is ticking away and if I cancel, I may lose all of my $ (around $300.00) but they also may find someone who can replace me and would refund my $.
OK...so food today was a bit better than yesterday.
B-fast Cottage cheese & peaches, coffee (2 cups)
Lunch, Noodles & Asparagus (on the run)
No PM Snack but had 2 glasses of lemonade (fully loaded with sugar) this afternoon with the residents
Supper: Grilled chicken on salad, iced tea
Water: About 36 oz but have been drinking iced tea.
Exercise: None!
Jessica...I'm so sorry about your friend. That is just awful. I can not relate as I have had no one in my life (with the exception of grandparents and elderly residents) die, so I can imagine the hurt and sadness you must feel. We just never know, do we? I'm proud of you for checking in with us! Thank you!
MsRD...Surely we will get a repreive from this heat, eh? AT least the lake makes it seem cooler! Sounds like you got some nice finds. We are taking the residents to the Flea Market tomorrow morning. Should be interesting!
Elisha...hope yo uget some sleep tonight, girl! Nothing like a bed that "doesn't fit"! Gald you got your exercise in...whatever it was! Do a mile or so for me, ok?
Hugs tot he rest of you! I need to get going. Have lots to do tonight to get ready for camping...end of month at work...calendars...you get the idea!
