Well peeps I tell ya, we take a lot for granted. Walking is one of them. Okay I used to walk and even run years ago, but as time went on I drove more walked less. As I got heavier I walked even less and this was and is not a good thing. Plus sitting at a desk all day make my activity level pretty darn low. So lets fast forward to now, this moment in time. I am down almost 30 pounds and have been going to the gym using the treadmill and I am able to walk easier. Not running any marathons but in Mary world doing much better. Then BAM..last week I was brazen and gave my treadmill a slight incline. The next day my left knee hurt. I took Motrin and thought nothing of it. I had other things more important to think about. I was off that Friday and Sunday was the 9-11 anniversary. My knee bugged me but yesterday it felt a little better actually much better. So yesterday afternoon I walk and hear an audible "pop" and down I go. I had to reach out and grab onto a trash can to stop myself from hitting thr ground. The pain was intense to say the least. People came out of cubicles all asking if I was okay. I was okay and now also embarrassed. So laughing it off I take a chair to use as a walker to go to my desk. Once there my co-worker looks at me and says go to the hospital. I say no but then say yes. I had to wait there and was in tears by the time the nurse saw me. Seems that after taking about 8 x-rays they determined I sprained my knee. I now have a knee immobilizer which I hate and have more vicodin and motrin to take. I m home from work today but will be in tomorrow. I just sit at work so it should be fine plus my hubby bought me a cool ladies cane. It is pink with roses on it, very pretty if a cane can be pretty? I can tell you this has me even more determined to lose weight. I swear the pressure on my arm to support myself takes some doing. Oh I can do it but how easier it would be if I weighed less. Perspective once again gains clarity.
Okay I also have an update on JoAnn. I had an email from her. She is feeling better and seeing someone to talk with now. She will go 2x a week she said. She said she found it hard to believe that I would care about her. You know me my friends, of course I would!! I am going to write her back and suggest my next trip up to NY I will come see her. I'll bring a veggie tray and we can chat. I would like to meet her and hope she agrees.
Like I mentioned on facebook the thing they gave me for my knee is like a leg corset. I've always wanted a corset but not like this. I actually have one now. lol I ordered it and it arrived and it's gorgeous. Black lace and red satin. It's still tight on me and I will have to lose some more weight before I can wear it but it's my "get into" piece. Ladies I know you all know what that is. I plan on having some pics taken when I get into it as it will show off my back ink really well. I'm shooting for the new year, should fit fine by then (I hope hehe) I love sexy clothes. I'm talking quality pieces, not Frederick's of Hollywood cheesy porn clothes.
Well boys and girls nothing major this blog. I'll keep ya posted on JoAnn. Hope everyone is doing good! Until next time...ciao!
