A day about nothing....

-
I have nothing to say today. Nothing!!! Nothing happened. Nothing occurred to me. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

I woke this morning to the pouring rain - again - and a pain in my foot. At first I thought my plantar was acting up but this was different. This pain was right on the rounded part of my heel towards the inside. Very strange. But it hurt. A. Lot. I tried some stretches but nothing seemed to work. Since walking hurt it, I decided to take the day off. Luckily I already had a chiro appointment for today (my monthly adjustment).

When I got to the chiro and told him what was going on, he started poking around my heel, ankle, and calf. Turns out the tendons on the inside of my ankle and my upper calf muscle are really tight and pulling on a bursa in my heel. He did some ART on it and then used these metal tools to break up scar tissue. He hurt me. He hurt me bad. He also worked on my periformis again. That hurt a lot too. I have to go back to see him on Saturday for some more torture. I hate to admit it, but it feels pretty good now. I'll be running in the morning no matter what.

That was all. Nothing more to say. Oh right, go congratulate Michelle for losing 75 LBS!!! She totally rocks!!!!!

Thank you!! You're so cool to recognize me on your blog :)

I've been getting the pain treatment at the Chiro too. That ART business is no joke. Ouch! But it helps, so we do it. Glad your chiro was able to help.

I've had both of those problems and they really are quite painful. You need to get these things cleared up and back on the road again.

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
