Good Morning Botts:

Well I crashed and fell yesterday on both my knees and palms of my hands.  Darn flip flops.  Both knees are black and I get to go and have my nekked pictures made at the plastic surgeons office today.  I guess he wont be looking at my knees though....  My eats for today are:

Breakfast:  Just Coffee

Snack:  Quest Brownie Bar

Lunch:  five Guys Hamburger 1/2

Snack:  Greek Yogurt Bar

Dinner:  Not sure yet.

I did good on detoxing until I fell yesterday so I nursed my bruised knees with a Roast Beef Pita Pocket instead of a protein shake for dinner.  So shoot me....Have a great Tuesday and please remember those vits and fluids.

Sorry to hear about your fall... I hope that you can heal fast...Knees sometimes take forever to heal...

Hugs!! 

Thanks Hala.  My knees are black and my pride is bruised but I shall limp on....

Good evening, BOTT friends,

Sorry to hear about your fall, Tess.  Hope everything is ok, nothing's broken and that you heal fast.  I know that kind of fall verrry well.  I took a spill just like that on my way to the elevator at work one evening.  Everything in my arms went flying, and my cell phone skidded about 50 ft down the hallway.  To top it off, I couldn't get up at first.  LUCKILY, no one was in the hall, despite it being such a large hospital, but it was a service hallway and no one saw me (I thought).  Turns out it occurred right in front of a security camera, and one of the security officers (a jokester) told me he saw it on tape, and they were going to ask me to sign a waiver so they could put it on youtube !  I believe he was joking, but who knows.  I would've loved to have seen it in slow motion, lol, especially since I was facing the camera!

I went for my MRI today, but won't know the results until my appointment next week unless they find something and call to tell me.  The pain has been a little better since starting the muscle relaxant, but still stops me dead in my tracks if I don't take it.

I did my bike workout after the MRI, 40 minutes covering 5 miles.  Today I ate:

B:  4 strips turkey bacon, 1 egg, sandwich thin, 2 tsps butter sub

S:  1 c cantaloupe, other 1/2 of yesterday's Quest bar

L:  1 c tuna salad, lettuce, tomato, 1/3 c edamame, 2 tbsps light ranch dressing

S:  McDonald's iced coffee (medium with Splenda)

D:  KFC grilled chicken breast (skinless)

Goodnight friends :)

Thanks Shelia.  Isn't it funny how when we take a spill that as soon as we get our wits about us that we look to see if anyone saw us fall.  I guess we do not want to share our embarrassment over it but sometimes we need a hand just to get up.  I sure hope the MRI can tell you what is going on inside your body.  I hate getting old, every creak and pull in my body tells me something is not quite right but I can not lay a finger on exactly what it is.  I hope you have a great day and get some relief for that back soon.
