Wednesday, no way What's Up

Almost 1AM and just up from a nap. Carla & Carl hung out for a nice visit. Carla & I talked and talked like old friends. Carl & John got to meet and visit both love to fish.
Sober 168 days and so proud of me.
While getting into the pool using a step down ladder instead of the walk down ladder I pulled something in my bad right leg. Noticed it immediately but it wasn't bad. Got out of pool and whoo hard to walk and pain. Took Carla's arm and didn't say anything. Carla had a 5 pm meeting so they left.
As the evening progressed, I realized something was really wrong. Sitting OK, but can't extend the leg fully without 10 million beavers gnawing at the leg, from behind the upper calf, and past the knee to outside of hip. Took a half of tylenol and napped. At 6 hubby woke me up. Dog park time, I wanted to try and move so took it slow, didn't get out of golf cart, mucho pain. Yoda concerned @ me, so ran a little pooped and came to gate and sat to go.
Came back to RV, sat outside, played cribbage, hubby and Yoda hovering. Treated myself with doing nothing, I really couldn't pain so bad. Hubby was my slave as usual.
Sleeping on couch with big pillow under both legs, put heat and mentol on. Fell asleep and now up. Crawled like a puppy to bathroom and used that small space to stand up. Made it.Sitting here stretching and lifting leg. Drinking lots of water and will take a tylenol pm soon. Really trying not to OCD myself.
Candy posted a picture of us in bikini's on FB. Looking good!!!
Happy Bday George, scary with the tornadoes in your area. Mother Nature going wild.
Asking for prayers and virtual hugs. Been feeling tooo goood to feel this bad now.
Sleep tight, Love Monica

Morning Monica, Those to Come

Hope that your leg feels better, but perhaps you need to go see a doctor instead of trying to fix it yourself, but like you, I would try to see if I could rest it up before seeking professional help, either way I do hope you feel relief in a hurry!!!

Nothing too much going on here today, usual work day stuff and then my support group meeting tonight. 

Wishing all a good day, special thoughts going out to those with struggles and challenges.

Morning again, up at 6:30. Thankful I slept. The 10 million beavers aren't nawing away like last night so the pain while sitting is bearable. Right leg 2 inches bigger than left leg just above knee. When hubby gets up I will begin icing it. I can walk very bow legged and bent over, but didn't have to crawl to bathroom.

Monica your leg sounds like it really hurts....maybe you should go see the doctor about it but rest may be the best treatments. sounds like a pulled muscle but could be lots of different things.
I have been meaning to tell you how great your sober days is. A daughter of mine is doing this and is almost 3 months sober now ...she says so far it hasnt been too bad but she knows that there will come a day that she will want to turn to that and is bracing herself for that time....trying to get her mind in shape so to speak...

wow i wish i could have a picture taken of me in bikini and it look good. too much skin hanging...

I planted window boxes and several hanging pots yesterday with petunias both red and white....also put in several other filler vining plants in both of them...then we had all the storms last night with hail will have to look and see what sort of damage we had to them...

still decluttering and sorting objects. my house just looks bare to me. i dont know how they say that packing all your personal stuff up makes a house look better to prospective buyers ...just looks like someone lives there that doesnt know how to decorate, to me lol

Sure is cool here this morning and we are suppose to get lots more rain here this next week. guess i wont complain since some people are still having snow.

talk to you all later.

Sorry to see you up so early.  Or maybe not really to bed yet?

So happy for your 168 days.  Keep up the great work!

You may have to have the leg looked at.  It might be just a muscle pull, but don't mess around with it.  Put on the hat and the traveling bra and do what you gotta do.  Please....

Nothing exciting going on in my life.  Haircut this morning, volunteering at the hospital gift shop this afternoon.  Looking at properties in Tampa area on line, working (a little) with a realtor down there.   Not sure if it's making me feel better or worse.  It continues to be cold and rainy.  Had a beauty of a thunderstorm last night.  Cats don't like thunder....

I hope everyone has a good day.

Candy

P.S.  Carla posted the pic on Facebook, not me.  I wasn't there....  Sniff.....

Our Sara is an awesome Realtor. She gets lots of referrals from other Realtor from other areas arouond the US to help find perfect places in her area. Let a local realtor you know at home help you hook up with a Tampa one. Oh you are working with one OK. Give her/him your what I want and need list and what you wish extra list. Please find an area with lots going on so your Social Network will keep you busy and making friends.

Good Morning Monica and OFF Family,
So sorry you are hurting.  Hope you take good care of yourself, and if need be, see a doctor.  I am a big baby, and I call the doctor when the pain gets too bad.  Doc may want to run a test, like an MRI to see if you damaged something.  Just speculating, given my long history of broken bones and other assorted injuries.

Today is another lazy day for me.  Foot hurts in a new place.  Hopefully, just healing pain.  I will walk Utley, and try to hit a meeting around noon.  Phillies game will be on this afternoon, so I will watch that.  Not sure what the evening will hold.

Hope everyone has a great day.  We are supposed to have warmer temps, accompanied by possible thundershowers.  I'll take the warmer temps, but you can keep the thunderstorms...we have had more than our share of rain lately.

Hugs,
Trish

It takes alot for me to go to doctor, I have an incredible pain tolerance, but if the 10 million beavers continue to naw I will. Stupid is as stupid does and we all know about STUPID MONICA TRICKS.
Virtual hugs and kisses to your toes.
