Gym is open (Thursday)

I must of missed something. Why does your foot drop? Seven

I developed neuropathy in my right foot/leg. There is nerve damage to that leg and foot (although it is almost healed now) It's caused "drop foot" in my right foot. But the more exercise I can get the stronger those muscles will be and it SHOULD get back to normal. Laurie

I just went and read your profile. You poor thing. You have been through so much. I am so glad you are feeling better. Has your cough gone away with the medication? When will your hernia surgery be scheduled? What was the final decision about the treatment for your neck/back/foot? Seven

It IS good to be feeling better. My 2.5 miles today wore me out, but it's good. My cough is gone with medication. I have allergy meds now and an inhaler - they help me TONS!!! My hernia, which is now almost as big as a cantelope will be fixed as soon as I find a new surgeon to do it. I have a consult with one on the 8th of Feb. I've heard TONS of good stuff about him and hope to get a surgery date when I see him. My neck/back/foot - hmmm, well the disk in the neck they are just going to "watch" if more problems develop then they'll have to discuss surgery, but for now they're saying it's fine. because I'm getting so much of my leg and foot back to normal - we're thinking that the neuropathy WAS beri beri from vitamin deficiency. Now that my levels are coming up, things are getting better. Hopefully - I'm on the way to "normal" again!! laurie

I am so glad! I was reading your profile and you sounded so matter of fact about everything. My heart was just breaking for you. You keep up the exercise and the vitamins. It sounds like you will be 100% in no time! Seven

Seven, I did 35min on the elliptical(again sp?) and 15min on the bike (level 7) I did 120 sit ups on the bench and 30 on each side. I worked my BIG BERTHA BUTT off today. I am soo tired. I have been doing real well on my eating and exercise. I have been jotting everything down in fitday. I am proud of myself these last 2 weeks. I have my whole family working out and eating pretty healthy. Praise God. Rosie

120 sit ups? Holy cow! I'm in awe. Good job and keep that family of yours healthy. Seven

Started off with 30,rested,then went on with 20s and rested in between. Not at the same time. Thanks Seven,and family is good. Thanks for ALL of your help. You really are something. You are very supportive and I appreciate that. Rosie

Still light exercise compared all you others, but I did 1.4 miles on the treadmill in about 35 minutes. Then went to work for 7 1/2 hours. Feeling stronger as I walk, and having less trouble with the knees. Debra M.

Great job! If it wasn't easy, it wasn't light. 30 minutes of cardio is an excellent workout. Keep it up. Seven
