Hey guys! Just wanted to pop in and say

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am SO thankful for you all. You guys are here for me through it all, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.

Also, a hip update - I know this probably wasn't a great idea, but I didn't go back to the physical therapy after my trip. I've been doing the home stretches & the ice, but I'm not feeling all that great and honestly didn't feel any better when I was going to PT. If anything, I was more sore afterwards and never felt relief. This Monday I go back to the ortho for my checkup and I'm ready for that cortisone shot. Let's hope that does the trick so I can get up & movin' again.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!!!! Take care of yourself buddy!

Happy Turkey Day Kim!

Sorry to hear you're still hurting. I hope you're feeling better soon.

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by on turkey day!

Yup, it's late. And yup, I am getting up at 2:30 to go shopping. Yup, that's A.M. I'm a nut, what can I say. I'll be icing my hip plenty tomorrow afternoon after all of the madness.

Just looking through my shopping spreadsheet one more time before hitting the sheets. (our printer's not working, so I can't print them out). Somehow I'll make it through.

Nite guys!!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and a successful shopping trip yesterday. Have a great weekend!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,

I am sorry to hear that your hip is still bothering you. Hopefully the shot will give you relief. Just don't look at the needle.

I was right there with you at the stores. Let's get a bargain report.

Take care,
Beth

Hey all! I got my shot this morning. The ortho said to continue to ice and stretch twice/day and wait a week. In a week, if I'm feeling good, I can start to run again!!! I can't wait. The weight has been coming back slowly and I'm not happy about that. (couldn't be all that food I've been eating. ). I guess I had found the right balance of eating/running so as not to gain weight...and once the running stopped - some weight crept back. But I'm working on it.

Shopping on black Friday was awesome. Some minor altercations (yes, I'm a happy person normally, but after 2.5 hours of sleep....I get a little cranky if you try to cut me off in line ).

As far as savings....here's the main one. My sister & I put our orders together at Toys R Us, totalling $323. Our receipt said we saved $450!!!!! Yup, lack of sleep is worth THAT!

I hope to put up another installment of my TR tonight. I really want to get that done this week, as my schedule is just getting busier & busier (kids both start basketball tonight).

Have a GREAT week, you guys.

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,

Great savings! I can relate to teh line cutting. I almost took out a grandma. I'm glad you got your shot, and hopefully you can get back into running. I hear you about the weight creep. UGH. It will be gone soon.

Take care,
Beth

 

[traceycooper]

Wow Kim great savings & definatly worth getting up for
Great news that you can start running next week - i'll keep everything crossed that all goes well

 

[postesf]

Hi Kimmy! Glad your hip is getting a little better and you can back to your exercise routine! I know how frustrating it's been for you!!!

Those savings!! WOW! That is awesome! We live just off Interstate 95 and we have an outlet mall. They open at mid-night for black friday shopping! We went last year and it was crazy!!!

Take care of yourself!

Hi Kim!!! Here's hoping that cortizone shot does the trick!!! Totally stinks that you've had to go through all this, but hopefully this is the answer you've been looking for.

Thanks again for sharing pics on the TR thread . It's always so much fun looking at Disney pictures. Seems that you guys had a total blast!!!

How were the crowds? I know Jersey week can get a little crazy...wondering how your exerience was with the throngs of Joisey folk.

 

[corinnak]

Hey Kim!
How's that shot panning out? Is it helping, I hope?

I never go shopping on Black Friday - too intense for me - but it sounds like you got some incredible deals, and I'm happy for you!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys! I'm happy to report that my hip is PAIN-FREE! I still have that "heavy" feeling, but I'm hoping that the more I stretch & ice, the better that will get too.

I'm hoping that by my birthday (the 8th), I'll be able to take my first walk/run in a LONG time!

Thanks so much for sticking with me, you guys. I feel like I'm so far from the WISH mentatlity, but I'm getting back where I need to be, and it's because of you.

 

[postesf]

Yeah!!!! Glad your hip is feeling better!!!
