In Search of My Body vol. 10 - taking it one paper towel at at time

[AKASnowWhite]

Oh no! Don't sigh. I'm only on happy times. How can I get to the nurses from he!! if you're sighing already?

no no! Happy, contented "proud to know you" sighs.

Yes, yes, devouring EVERY word. Silly me...I was hoping for pics to go along with this TR!

Me too! Lisa's fabulous camera with just the right artistic eye

I went around the room and made EACH one say "Left side" so that they would take right freaking organ.

By "right" I assume you mean "correct"

And then of course she got one with me and my beloved walker.

Oh please. You must share.

And I'm with Ronda - never considered the fact that they kidney could be snuck in anywhere other than it's normal spot. Interesting.

Lisa! Loving the trip report!!!

Nancy - way to go! AND I made breakfast for dinner, too! And cleaned my living room. So we are only half in squalor here!

Just getting home and catching up. Soccer Board meeting. Did I mention that I am on our club Board now? Yeah, soccer has pretty much taken over my life.

Loving the operation TR! Lisa, you are amazing!

Lisa, I am loving every word! I want to be like you when I grow up.

Morning All
I am starting to get a cold. Yuck, I will fight this to its death, I don't have time for a cold.

No run yesterday,but I did do the elliptical.
I am not sure about the inserts on my shoes I wore them to work yesterday to try to break them in, I need to try to run in them.

Have a great hump day!!!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Jo - go get some zinc! Fit it girl!!!

Nancy - what did you make? I made waffles with vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips!

Anyone have a good easy pork chop recipe? I despise them but N bought some so guess what's for dinner tonight!

I will either hit yoga class after dinner or yoga and elliptical. I need a little cross training! TM on Thursday.

Hey all!!

Finally feeling settled in to my semi vampiric work schedule and finding time to check in here!!

Everything is good. Family, work, training. Did a fantastic 8 miles on Sunday. Having trouble getting in the short runs this week, but should be able to thursday and friday. I just did some core work. Found a buddy for my last LR this weekend. She is doing the gasparilla half in Tampa the same day as the princess. Has not trained at all! I mean she's in shape and all but no training really for this race. she and her husband scaled like 2 mountains in the middle of december up north, so I'm sure she'll finish the race. She is studying for a national licensing exam for our job. I told her I'd put that over training too.

E- Do the ESPN 5k. The bling for that disney 5k is good from what I've seen in pictures. It is $$ for a 5k but well worth it. and not to mention a an awesome memory for you and Riley.

Lisa- you are a rockstar! Love the operation report.

Jo-I hope you fight off the cold. There are so many people sick at my work, I think I am going to start wearing a mask!

Glad that the race shirt is white! Good for summer running! and we will stand out in our blue shirts!

And weather. Nearly perfect. It should be hanging around for the foreseeable future.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy - what did you make? I made waffles with vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate chips!

French toast. Did you know that Joy of Cooking suggests flavoring your egg mixture for French Toast with rum? And we had a fabulous fruit salad. And bacon. Naturally.

Pork chops - I have a really simple Jillian Michaels recipe that uses cranberry sauce, honey & frozen oj (among other things) for a glaze if you are interested.

And weather. Nearly perfect. It should be hanging around for the foreseeable future.

awesome news Amy!!! Guess it's time to start thinking about what to take on the trip.

 

[lisaviolet]

You're right Kat.

Short sale and bank owned - with your definitions. I'm not sure what this property was - I think it might have been a short sale because he has the right to come up with the money at the last minute. We didn't go after it - it was ridiculously small in the end. I don't get Sandra and gap - it went over my head Kat. I'm slow.

And a good thing too on firming up a deal for us - someone is protecting us up there - our *buyer* has been nothing but a pill - she firmed up but is causing crap. So who knows. She phoned while I was in surgery wanting an assessment after she was told emergencies only at this point - until I was out and back home. And actually told Jean she could have a neighbour open up for her. Whatever. Jean let her have it.

Our car was broken into yesterday downtown. What the he!!. But no huge deal - just a small window - we carry nothing of anyone would want. Like nada. Even the car.

I know eh Ronda - I had no idea too on the kidney being placed in the front on the groin. I found out the first testing and almost fell out of my chair - it'sjust so clever. Medicine is so fascinating.

I'm finding the house more difficult than the hospital/hotel as far as discomfort/pain. YOu just lift things without thinking and up and down a little more difficult.

Oh well! I'll get used to it. Nathan is home.

What is wrong with you?

Just hi!

Hey all!!

Oh nice. Lucky you. Glad to hear work is settling in. Jackson sure is cute Amy. Like I said - you two make cute babies.

Nice to hear about a good run Amy. Can't wait to follow your race. It makes me smile thinking about last year. It took quite awhile to understand how you were running and having a picture of every known Disney character ever. Laughing. I was so confused (I had no idea they were on the race course!!!!!)

French toast. Did you
]

Yum.

For the first time on here I actually have to watch my food. Have to - whether I actually do is an entirely different story. No exercise exercise so my body is going to go into protest soon. It's going to react. Like what is going on? lakjsdflkjdfl;kjasd. Smiling.

I did a half hour walk this morning. But really - I'm not sure we can even classify it as walking. I'm so bored already.

Lisa, r u restricted on what u can eat?

Great job on the run Amy

I just did 2 miles on my lunch not sure about my foot

It's the gap in the front teeth thing that is so popular right now. I am just not a fan.

Sorry about the pain.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I have a question, I am still feeling my foot, (I did wear the insert today)
at about 1.75 of the 2 I did today, I knew it was there, the pain was a 3 but it was there.
So here is my question,
do I try for a long run (8 miles) with or without insert?
do I just do 2-3 mile runs from here on out with or without insert?

As you all know this has been a goal for over a year now, I was just starting to do some packing and I tried on my drinking shirt to find the right pants and I did not have that OMG I CAN"T WAIT feeling,
I had the OMG, What if I can't walk..I Know that I could push myself past tired, but I don't know that I can push past the pain that I had this weekend.

What should I do?
3 weeks ago when I hit 11.5 (2.75 treadmill, 7.25 outside 1.5 treadmill)
I did not feel this pain,
I did however have it a month ago, but I thought it was the shoes and I sent them back.

Have yet to catch up. Just now getting in the door with all 3 kids. What a day!

Wednesdays are always bad because it is late start for Middle School and Early Release for Elementary School...so for parents like me who have kids in both, it means you only have something like 9am - Noon without kids. So of course, nothing gets done. On top of that, Wednesdays means piano lessons (Cam), drum lessons (Riley), gymnastics practice (Kel), and soccer practice (Riley and Cam). So, um, yeah. From 2:30 - 7:30 it is just shuttling kids and waiting and shuttling kids and waiting...

Needless to say, I have a massive headache.

People who think that I am one of those parents who over-schedules my kids...that really isn't the case. Each kid has only 1 or 2 activities at a time (for example, theater just ended for Riley so that is why he is now allowed to join a soccer league). Of course, that means 5 or 6 activities for ME to juggle.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

and in other news...

3 new babies this afternoon. Triplets- 2 girls, 1 boy. Currently being referred to as Alpha, Bravo & Charlie.

I understand what you mean,
right now Alexa is the only one in a sport, but in the fall Alaina can start, I don't know how I am going to get 2 kids to 2 different games in 2 different levels.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Two words described my day today : spa day!

After the past few days of work hell it was just what I needed.

Lisa - I am in awe of you. Truly. Get better soon.
