What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
I am so sorry that you have hit a setback. I felt so bad for you when I could see you were struggling, yet you soldiered on with the workout keeping it as easy as you could on your foot. Getting back into the routine of therapy is the right course of action and we can cut back on some of the walking for a bit too because my legs could use a rest as well.
ReplyDeleteuh-oh feel better Anele..that sucks..
ReplyDeletei had a roller derby injury 2010 on my tail bone..went through physical therapy and everything and was much better..
then 6months back I started training for a 10k and all that hard running messed up my tailbone...so decided to not pursue running and feeling better but was down for a month..:(
Yes going through it now...my knees are KILLING me! I could barely walk a mile and a half last night then they ahead all night. So discouraging. Progress, setbacks,,,annoying as hell!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry the pain is back!
ReplyDeleteI keep pushing my pickleball knee too far with lunges and paying the price. Your post serves to remind me, as I head out to the gym, to use condescend to use the lighter weights for the split squats.
I'm sorry this is happening again. :( Hopefully it will be feeling better soon. I think I did something to my hand kayaking the other day. It's like my hand is cramped up and I've lost strength in it. It's very annoying and I am wondering at what point I should go to a Dr. I hate going to the Dr.
ReplyDeleteYes. I have recurring plantar fasciitis that is just a pain (literally and figuratively). It doesn't bother me much during the day so I can walk and do other workouts, but know that I'll pay for it at night makes it hard.
ReplyDeleteI tweaked my shoulder yesterday, I'm thinking it's just a small thing. I've been very lucky through the years to avoid injury and illness.
ReplyDeleteMy poor 14-year old broke his foot (JoneFracture) right was basketball season was starting. He was crushed, as it's a super slow healing break. He was in a walking book for over three months, and then still couldn't play for a few weeks after. When he finally got the go ahead to play again ... HE BROKE HIS FOOT! The other one this time, JonesFracture AGAIN! My poor poor baby! He has finally recovered and had a fun summer, although he tweaked his back a couple weeks ago and it's doesn't seem to be going away ...
I have a back injury that keeps flaring up. It's SO ANNOYING. I definitely get this post. Hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteI'm dealing with a knee problem that literally stops me in my tracks. It's the back of left knee and feels like all the tendons and ligaments have been shredded. When I stand up, I have to stand there for about 30 seconds before I can bear any weight on it...then it feels like my leg will collapse for the first couple of steps. I couldn't get out of the car last night and the hubs had to help me out and in through the garage. Ice, heat, ice, heat....bah. My right knee is the one from the car accident that I still can't feel a part of, and now the left is on its last legs (punny). This ought to look good for my interview....
ReplyDeleteThat is just no bueno, like you said! Hope you heal back up quicker than quick!
ReplyDeleteOh no. :( It always figures that when you say, "Hey, I'm better!" suddenly things start acting up again. But it sounds like this will only be a minor setback!
