Time to seek professional help

 A few weeks ago, I awoke with my knee just killing me. It was so bad I could hardly walk and wanted to cry when I did. It was bad. Of course, this was after a weekend of wearing the shoes that bothered my knee, but I didn't know that at the time. So I broke down and asked my doctor for a referral to PT to fix this knee. The PT place called and wanted to schedule an appointment but I had lost my insurance card and they needed that information. Finally got a temporary copy of my card and called yesterday to make the appointment. I'm going to see them today at 11 am. Of course, my knee is much, much better now. But it's still not 100% and I want it to be that. Or as close as possible. So today is the day and we will see what they have to say. 

In other news, I'm going to gym and the chiro before I head to PT so this should be interesting. I didn't go to the gym last weekend because things were just crazy. This weekend though, no so much so it's time to get back there. 

I'm trying very hard not to talk about weight loss on here because the number on the scale does not define me. But today I have to. Today the scale was down to 213 for the second time this week. I'm not making drastic changes in my weight because I'm not doing anything crazy, but I am losing slowly and I'm okay with that. I'm pretty sure that my high when I went to the doc in February was around 225 and I'm down to 213 so that's 12 pounds in a little over a month. I'm good with that. I have been able to wear things that I couldn't wear just a few weeks ago. I must say the fat on my stomach is really feeling huge, but as I remember I feel it more as it starts to go away. I've even considered surgery to get this fat removed if I can lose some more weight. At this point in time I would definitely pay for it. 

Okay, the tree has grown and I really have nothing more to say.

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.
