The knee

-

 I swear this knee has taken over my life. So yesterday I wrote about the shoes. After writing that post, I worked out in bare feet, showered, got dressed, and went to brunch with friends. I wore some shoes that were flat and did not have a lot of cushioning. My leg felt great all day. I came home, took those shoes off, and then spend the day mostly on my feet. I raised my desk up and was busy doing laundry and getting some things done for school. So I was moving almost constantly and on my feet. No problems at all. My knee felt great. I even remembered later in the afternoon that I had forgotten to put the Voltaren cream on in the morning. No cream and it still felt great. Yes!!!!

So here's a weird thing. I asked my doctor for a referral to for some PT for the knee. They called and wanted to schedule the first appointment but needed some information from my insurance card. Since I didn't have it with me, I told them I would call them back. Well, I've been looking and cannot find my insurance card. Damn. I can get another one, that's not a problem, but if they need info I can't schedule the appointment until I get the card. That kind of sucks. I am going to look a little bit harder this morning and see if I can find it. I know I had it in February when I went to the doctor. And I'm pretty sure I had it after that when I went to get some vaccines. So it's just a matter of where did I put it. I don't carry it all the time. The only things that I carry regularly are my driver's license and a credit card. Which I need to pay that credit card, I think it's near the limit. 

Otherwise I got nothing. I did supernatural twice yesterday only because I had nothing to do in the afternoon. I did not go to the gym this weekend because of stupid excuses. I had a staff meeting on Friday. I could have gone Saturday but I really can't do legs so I can only do upper body and quite honestly, Supernatural is giving a really good upper body workout. I need to start doing some core work regularly. That's on my habit list for this week. I'm going to do some deadbugs, planks, and crunches. Need to strengthen the core. 

Okay, I've go to go.

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...

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.

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...
