What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Good morning ~ That meme reminded me of those full body suits you could wear that would make you sweat and claimed to melt all the fat away! I made it until 10 am at work yesterday before calling it and going to urgent care to get an xray of my ribs. I do have a fracture right where the chiro had his hand on my chest. It's so painful now though I've had it for a week now. The Doc said i could have exerted myself like a twist or a sneeze that could have shot me to the unbearable pain side. Lovely. I can't move without saying f***. I'm 'working from home' today - sort of just taking care of the must do's. I want to really get on this rotating heat and ice and meds for relief all day long. Maybe by the end of the day I'll be able to move saying sh*t instead of f***.

QOTD - At this very moment? Those who don't wipe down counters or rinse the sink. At home and even more so in the work break room - it's awful. In general, I second the body comments and those oblivious drivers who stay in the fast lane doing the actual speed limit. I have many, but that is all I can come up with right now.

Accountability - great 100% on plan, no worknight wine week 2, day 3 - yay!

b- coffee x 3, scrambled eggs w/mushrooms

l - Mexican caulirice w/black beans, salsa

d - pork chop and salad

s - tomatoes

Have a wonderful day!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry it's a cracked rib; I hope you find the right routine to manage the pain!

not sure how old you are - but consider getting bones density scan. At least now - you have a good reason to request that.

I'm 54. Good idea, I've been wanting one for some time now.

Youngster.

I was glad I had a DEXA scan at one of those commercial outlets to see how much fat I still had (the scans they do at medical clinics don't measure this, though - they just measure bone density). I was only about 59 at the time, so supposedly "too young" for a regular (medical) DEXA scan. However, they discovered on that (non-medical) scan that my bone density was low. The technician obviously wasn't allowed to diagnose anything since she wasn't a medical person, but she told me my bone density looked "a bit below average" and that I should show the printout to my PCP. My PCP took one look at it and ordered another scan (at her clinic) because she said those numbers indicated some pretty serious osteoporosis - and the medical scan they did confirmed that. Otherwise, I would have had to wait until age 65 for a DEXA scan at the doctor's office, and God knows how bad my osteoporosis would have gotten in those intervening six years, esp given I wouldn't have even known I HAD osteoporosis!

Absolutely. I had non medical scans also - to really measure the fat - but like you, it also shows the bone density. I was good- very good at the time. (3 years ago) But I'm on steroids and that justify getting the bone scan - DEXA. I had a order last year.. but i completely forgot and I was too busy anyway dealing with other issues. I plan to have one done sometime this month if I can fit it in my schedule. If not - then March...

Oh no!! So sorry it's a cracked rib. I hope it heals soon.

Amy, please take care of yourself. I never knew chiropractors can cause so much damage. I gotta tell DH, he goes to one for his neck (combo of sitting in front of computer and surfing).

I know so many people *****ly on chiro but I'm done now - which is really too bad because they have helped so much over the years. It would freak me out every time they adjusted my neck, like one wrong jerk and I'm screwed but until now, I trusted the process.
