The saga of the knee continues

-

 So I'm not really sure how to proceed with this knee or if I should just keep going the way I'm going. Friday I woke up and the knee felt really good. I should point out that I did not stretch on Thursday because I was chaperoning a school dance. I didn't get home until 9:30 and I was tired, so no stretching on Thursday. So I woke up Friday and the knee was good. Went to the gym and did upper body work. The knee felt really good for the rest of the day. Did my stretching Friday night and it felt great. Woke up Saturday morning and the knee still felt pretty good. By 7 am I was in agony. The knee was killing me. I couldn't walk right. I could fully extend the leg. It was horrible. Then suddenly by noon or so I was fine. The knee felt great and I could walk pretty well. WTF??????  Woke up yesterday and it felt like it always does in the mornings, pretty good. Went to the gym and did lower body - carefully. Came home did some house cleaning for a small super bowl party we were having. And the knee felt awesome all day. Did Supernatural, felt great. Walked Mavy, felt great. Sat on a high bar stool for hours, felt great. Did my stretches last night and it felt a little weird. Now I woke up this morning and the knee feels amazing. I honestly do not know what to do at this point. It is literally 1 step forward, 2 steps back. Do I keep going as I've been doing because the majority of the time it appears to be getting better? Or should I try something else. I don't know what else I could possibly do. Oh well, I have said since the beginning this will be slow healing and it is proving to be very true. 

In other news, yesterday was the super bowl, Rams vs Bengals. It was a good game, 23-20, but because no one cared about the teams it was kind of boring. We had some friends over who brought some friends over. 

Okay, I'm done for now.

There are many ways to measure success,

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.
