The knee

-

 Thought I'd write a little update about the knee. It's doing amazing. Not 100% but so, so much better than it was a week ago. I got some exercises and stretches from my physical therapist and I've been doing them every night. They are a pain in the ass because they take an hour to do, but clearly they are worth it because I'm almost completely pain free. Yay!!!

I went to the PT on Friday and today is Tuesday so it's been 5 days of exercises/stretching. There have been stretches of time when I have actually been completely pain free and did not think about my knee. That has not happened since before the Thanksgiving injury. I'm so happy. I am working on moving more, at least what I can do during the school day. I plan on walking a lot when summer comes even if I have to get up at 4:30 to go for a walk. I get up that time anyway, I will just walk before I do anything else. I do hope Mavy heals up and he can go with me. It's more fun to walk with a dog. 

Other news, it's state testing week at school. Without a doubt the most boring week of the year. We sit and watch them test. Oh joy!! It's really okay, I get things done that I don't have time for otherwise. Today I need to do some planning and sorting out of what I will cover the rest of the year. Classes this week are only like 40 minutes long, so I'm just filling in time with them really.

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.
