Hi everyone (Cher and Steph!).
Well, today (day 15) started with a trip to my Rheumy (Arthritis specialist)...which although scheduled 6 months ago, came after a near sleepless night, where my body was pulsing with pain in multiple areas of my body...mostly ankle and right SI joint.
On a positive note, it's been 15 months without meds (minus painkillers at night) and overall, I'm doing amazingly well (heck-look at what I've been able to do this past 15 days!)....but, the Dr. did order updated xrays to see if me being stubborn (and refusing medication) is actually causing damage to my joints...But, overall, I'm miles away from the girl who couldn't put her own socks on and took 5 minutes just to get out of the car....
Then, after the apt. I had to drive to Penticton to say 'goodbye' to my Dad, who after divorcing my Mom, is leaving to Korea for a year....I didn't think I would be as emotional as I was...but it wasn't easy to say those words....
So from there (where I had a spinach salad for lunch) I came home and it was close to the time when the kids and my hubby come home...
I didn't get in a work out and to be honest, I just don't feel like it....
We all just took a nice brisk walk to the park with out dog, but now, I'm feeling drained...
But, I'm still so happy with how I'm doing, I know that tomorrow is a new day...
And tomorrow, I'll kick me some butt.
Love and hugs....

That sounds like a hard day. :( I hope tomorrow is much better for you!
