I AM DONE!!!

-

 So, my restart the other day didn't go as well as planned. I never made it to the gym. Instead I decided to try an easy Supernatural. Bad idea. I made it so there were no squats or lunges (not that I do them anyway) and the portals stayed to the front, no twisting and turning. As I was standing there playing, I could feel my left and it didn't feel good. I kept moving it and shaking it when I could, but standing in one place for an entire song just did not agree with it. I'm sad. I spent the rest of the day sort of hobbling a little bit, not much. I did walk through a huge mall after my doctors appointment but the entire time I could feel my calf. Then I decided to do my PT exercises before bed that same night. They actually felt pretty good, but I didn't push any of the stretches. The next morning, yesterday, I woke up and could feel my knee/calf a bit. It wasn't enough to stop me from walking but I noticed while walking Mavy that I did limp a bit. Then I went to my classroom and was literally on my feet for 3 hours. They hurt so bad. My feet hurt. My legs hurt. My back hurt. Ugh!!! I was in agony. But I hit my step goal. I also realized that in just under 4 weeks I will be back in school and I need to be able to stand on my feet all day. This is something I need to work on. But I can't just stand, I need to move. And it's too hot out to walk outside. So I think I'm going to go to school a few days next week and work on my stamina. Then I'm going to go to school every day the following week, and really work on my stamina. I'm also going to try and stay active around the house here. But for everything else, I'm done. I'm not going to the gym or doing PT or anything until I can walk for extended periods of time pain free. I know that seems kind of drastic, but I walking is a basic human function and right now I can't do it very well. 

That's all I have today. I'm going to work on school stuff for a bit.

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.
