We're home

and exhausted! We arrived in at 5:45 this morning - we went home and I showered and went to work! So - yep I'm tired. I'll stay up for a little while longer nd then hit the hay - so I get a good nights sleep but don't get up too early!

Here are some pictures - and yep it's as wonderful as it looks! There are some flowers that were the roof of the poolside restaurant - they were very cool! Me in the model of the timeshare we purchased - yep we own part of Maui - Cool - huh? A beautful sunset and of course my Honey. We had a Great time!

Someday I'll even get the knack of this blogging with pictures and they'll appear in the order I intended!

Gotta Run!

Pool Walking

Is incredibly boring!! The people watching is kind of fun! It's amazing how late people keep there kids out and in the pool on school nights. I'll keep doing it though - hopefully it will make me better!

I started PT on Monday and have been really sore ever since. It's almost back to where it was and so it's time to go back to PT tomorrow. I'll be sure to tell the therapist before she does it to me again. The wierd part is that it didn't feel like it was going hurt like that while we were doing it!

I'm getting really excited - we're headed to Maui on Sunday - I can hardly wait! 7 days in paradise, with my honey and about 15 books! It should be delightful!

Gotta Run!!

Progress?

I faxed my MRI report to my sister - the Dr. (she's in FL). So she called me shortly after and spent most of the call telling me what good news this is - She's say that healing is a good thing and that I'm going in the right direction. On the one had she's right - on the other hand it sure would be nice if I could find the healing accelerator!!

Gotta Run!!

Healing Stress Fracture

Yep - that's what the MRI shows - healing not healed! CRAP!!!! That explains my symptoms - SHIT!!!

OK - so here's the plan - back to PT starting tomorrow - no exercise that isn't in the pool or at least not weight bearing! Absolutely no walking or running - Yes he wanted me back on crutches - No I'm not using them - my shoulder just won't tolerate that - he agreed! So - I'm not to stress it! He wants me to walk in the pool at least 30 minutes everyday - longer if possible! I'll get really strong and if this damn thing ever heals i'll be ready to run! He's hoping that when I go back to see him in 6 weeks I'll be able to start my walk/run program (again)! I hope so too!!!

He also mentioned the "S" word - yep surgery as an option - they could do a bone graft - we didn't get into the details and I hope I never need too!

I called the Y when I got home to check pool hours and the lap pool opens at 5:00 but the other pool doesn't open until 6:30 - that stinks!! I'm going to have to check out another gym/pool facility and see what I can find!

I guess Lora will have to find someone else to run her in at Chicago - I definitely won't be ready! CRAP!!

Gotta Run!!!

Quilting Shoulder

I'm sure you've all heard of Tennis Elbow - well I have "Quilting Shoulder". More accurately - I'v irritated my bad shoulder through over use. I'm working on the 3 (2 nieces and 1 Mother in Law) memory (their Mother and Daughter) quilts - I have to work on them simultaneously so that I'm sure to have enough fabric to go around - so far they're coming together pretty well. I'll take pictures when there is something to show. So I'm sitting trying to take it easy. I'm icing my shoulder and hoping it will feel better tomorrow!

I did take a walk tonight - not long or fast but at least I was moving!! I can't wait til and I find out about my hip - I sure hope there is a cure - a fast one would be ideal!

Gotta Run!
