I took today off from the gym.  Instead I played kickball with my 30 3rd graders for their positive behavior award this afternoon in the million degree heat... lol.  Tonight I will do my core and physical therapy stretches.  7 days until I meet with the hip surgeon... yipee!!

Does walking count? I think it does but it does not kick my ass as the elliptical does. I have not been able to do any kind of formal excercise since 8/18. I am happy that you see your hip surgeon in a week hopefully he will give you good news. I can't even brush my teeth and this morning i could not put my daughter's hair in a pony tail. I broke down and cried. My adorable 6 year old told me "don't cry mommy i can go to school without a piggy. I like my hair loose anyway" THAT is pretty pathetic don't you think? OK I will stop enough of the pity party.

Beth,
Thank you. I really know how you feel the inability to do what you love to do and can't do has to be the worst...

Hugs, Shilpa.  It will get better.  And kids are very resilient and caring - and I'm certain she looked just adorable with her hair loose.  Don't beat up on yourself - focus on the things that matter and do what you can to reduce your stress (because it will only make things worse).  Has your doctor seen you recently (during this flare up?)? Any suggestions?

Karen,
Thank you for the hugs. My Rhumatologist gave me a shot of Methotrexate shot 2 weeks ago and told me to increase the methotrexate pills to 5 from 2 but I am calling his office when they open at 9 so he can call in something. I am taking ibuprofen like they are tic tacs without any help and I am not supposed to take NSAIDS. Desperate people do desperate things....

yep... got to the gym this morning.  Did 45 minutes on the treadmill (it was DEAD in the gym so I didn't feel guilty going over the 30-minute peak-time courtesy limit) at 4.1MPH and 2.5 incline and some weights.

went to the gym while Siehara was at Hebrew school and did my 38 minute First strides homework.  I only brought it up to a jog once for about 2 minutes, but I did faster walking and some hill work during the "hard" parts of the workout.
