Kim's maintenance rollercoaster. Wanna ride along? (all are welcome)

[traceycooper]

Hi Kim
hope you feel better soon, & i hope the leg is ok!
It must be so frustrating for someone as active as you to have to rest, but i think its for the best - hang in there.

 

[keenercam]

Oh, Kim! You poor thing. I have been MIA in the WISH-journal world, but wanted to catch up with yours. I am so sorry you are having so much pain. Please, please, please listen to your body and to those who have advocated rest. I can't even begin to guess what the problem is, but I don't want you to learn the hard way and further injure yourself or inflame whatever injury/tenderness you have right now. It's better to take a couple weeks of rest than to get yourself sidelined for months (some of us have been that route. It is NOT fun!)

Sending you loads of and Kim!

awwww, you called me active! You know, when I'm not injured, I still don't feel "active". Still don't feel like I belong in the runner's conversations. I don't want to whine about it, but for you to call me active means a whole lot to me. So thanks.

CAM!! I've missed ya, lady! Thanks so much for catching up. Yeah, not fun right now...but I'll get all fixed up and back to it soon enough.

I'm going to my primary dr. tomorrow for what I think is a sinus infection. The one positive is that at least I'm not missing running just for a sinus infection. Yeah, I'm a little wacky.

Yeah, I'm a little wacky.

a little???


Sorry you're not feeling good kimmy....between the bum hip/knee and the sinus infection, it sounds like you need a break!! Ya know....Memphis has an outstanding zoo....and you know you want to do the Graceland tour!!!
Let me know...I'm about 20 minutes from the airport....

Hope the Dr. gives you a shot in the butt to make your head better.....and take it easy on that hip...you're too young for hip replacement surgery!!!

later girl!

Gentle Kim,

I am so sorry to hear about your knee (and sinus infection) I have to agree with Amy. Rest the knee until you see your ortho. You don't want to aggravate it to the point that you need surgery. 6/6 will be here soon. I hope you are able to get some relief from the sinus infection. They are just miserable. Tell DH you need lots of TLC. On the plus, I am glad to hear that your dad is home. How's he doing?

Take care of yourself.
Beth

So I'm looking at the ads at the bottom of your journal and I notice one that says

Pelvic Tilt = Knee Pain

Kim, have you been tilting your pelvis again? Ugh. I'm sorry - always trying to inject levity when what's really called for is for someone to inject cortisone.

Hope you feel better soon.

 

[postesf]

Kim! How's that sinus infection? Yuk! I hope you're feeling better and your knee is too. I think it's also good advice to stay as non-active until you see the Ortho. I know this must be so frustrationg.

Let us know how things are going!

Thanks, C. I totally needed that today.

Beth - you're right. I am going to rest. Since I've stopped running I've had good & bad days. Might be the days I run around work like a nutball. Anyway, I am looking into a sports massage in the meantime. Can't hurt, right? I don't do well with massages generally b/c I am extremely ticklish. But maybe a sports massage will be different?? Anyone??

I did go to the doctor today and I have a sinus/upper respitory infection. Got the antibiotics and a nose spray and hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. It never fails for me. I get congested and it goes right to my sinuses. And with my sinus pain, every tooth on the top hurts! I honestly haven't eaten more than 4 bites per day in the past 4 days. I'm considering it a cleansing.

Yes, Marie, I know - I'm wacky. But I totally wish I could come hang with ya.

Hi Kim,

I hope you're feeling better soon. I hope you have time this weekend to relax....

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

 

[deekaypee]

Kim,

I'm just now catching up on your journal. I'm so sorry to hear about your pain--and I know it's got to be frustrating for you. I'm glad you're resting, though, and taking the advice of people who are far wiser than I am. (That pretty much includes everyone, btw, but I MEANT it as a compliment to our wise WISHers.) When is your Ortho appointment?

I can't really tell you what a sports massage is like. I get kind of weirded out by strangers touching me, even professionals. I find it squicky. Heck, half the time I think DOOD should stay on his half of the bed--and when you're sharing it with two cats, it's more like a 1/4. So you'll have to let me know the benefits of the massage. (With ear-reddening details, of course, even if you need to make those up.)

 

[postesf]

Hi Kimmy. Just thinking of you! I hope your sinus infection is better!!!

Do you get Monday off work? I hope you are able to relax a bit!!!

Feel better soon!

Hey guys. Well, this week didn't turn out too well. I started antibiotics on Wed for the sinus issues...and it totally turned my stomach. I hadn't been eating much before that (since last Sunday) but after Wed I wasn't really drinking either. Today I went to urgent care for possible dehydration. They said I was very close to hospitalization for dehydration. I received a shot for the nausea and they switched my antibiotic. I slept all afternoon when i got home. And tonight I was able to sip some juice and eat some saltines and toast. So far so good.

Hopefully I'm on the mend. I've lost 6 pounds this week because of this. Not the way I'd prefer to do it. I know it'll come back once I start eting again and I'm fine with that.

Have a great holiday weekend, and yes...I'm so glad to be off on Monday too!

 

[toystoryduo]

Kim,

I'm sorry to hear that you have been so sick, sweetie. I'm glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. Please be sure and take it easy for the rest of the weekend, okay?

 

[kimwim8]

Thanks Tracy. As of today I am feeling MUCH better. Not sure if it's because I went off of the other antibiotic, or if it's the shot I got. But either way...I'm slowly getting back to eating without nausea.

I might start to stretch out my legs/IT bands this week. I had bought that roller thingy which came with a DVD...so I think I'll check it out and see what happens. I am really missing running and I know it's effecting my mood. So maybe if I can stretch...I'll feel better about doing something.

Hope you all have a great week.

 

[kmp1191]

Sorry you've been under the weather Kim! Hopefully the shot & antibiotics will take care of the problems!
Congrats on the 6 pounds....even if it wasn't the "right" way of doing it!!
Also hope the hip starts feeling better....get the massage...couldn't hurt to have a good looking muscular man rub ya down....could it?? ::cop:

take it easy girl!!

[postesf]

Yay Kim!!! I'm so glad to hear you are on the mend!!! I hope the leg / it band things gets worked out. I know how frustrating it must be. Just please be careful and don't overdo it!!!

Stacie

 

[toystoryduo]

I'm glad that you're feeling better, Kim! I hope you have a great Tuesday!

 

[AmyBeth68]

Sorry you're having such a rough go Kim . Sounds like you were dangerously sick! I'm so glad to hear you are feeling much better. Continue to take it easy....using the foam roller will help a lot and it's a nice gentle workout.

Take care of yourself!!!

 

[traceycooper]

Oh Kim i'm so glad your on the mend now!
Must have been scary!!
Take it easy & look after yourself & you'll soon be 100% again
