Good morning! I'm feeling a little under the weather today but after seeing my chiro last night the knee is doing much better. I have an appointment for later this morning for more stim and light treatment; he said if the pain wasn't gone by Monday he would want me to see an ortho...fingers crossed.

I may try to make an appointment with my Primary doc today if not feeling better by lunch. I'm hoping it's something I can fight, ever since my 8 month sinus infection which led to mono in 2007 I get sick and break down fast, so I have to be very careful. In Dec 2013 I was actually rushed to the hospital by ambulance from my doctor's office because I had a coughing fit from bronchitis, couldn't catch my breath, my body pulled oxygen from my limbs, they went numb and had tremor spasms....that was scary not being able to feel them but watching them jump and twitch like crazy.

I had so much planned for this weekend; overdue projects around the house because I don't have my grandson but now I feel like staying in bed with the covers over my head and sleeping. Ugh...sigh...always something.
I think I'm going to try to do little spurts of things without exerting much energy and if I feel better I will do more.

I'm holding water today too, I fell asleep with my rings on, so swollen I can't get them off. Oh my, I guess all I can do is drink a ton of water to flush and laugh; there's always going to be something right. I just have to do what I can, as I can and eat clean as possible to get the most nutrients while I'm feeling like this.

Now onto something more positive. Yesterday I wore a new outfit, I felt like a million dollars it was awesome, I received so many compliments on it too. I used to buy clothes that I didn't necessarily like but the cut worked best for my body type when I was heavier, I settled a lot...okay, I gave up a lot. Now if I don't "love" it I don't buy it. I will not put anything on my body that doesn't make me feel awesome! I've worked to hard and have come so far to ever settle on clothes again, now I use them to express my personality or mood...happy, fun and playful. I'm wearing more prints, some throwbacks to those I wore as a teen in the 80's but with a sophisticated edge, because I'm not a teen anymore. If I don't feel awesome when I put it on it stays in the store. I will never go back to the ugly moo moo type clothes I used to have to wear because that's what was available in my size, for my body shape at the time.

Here's a great quote that reflects how I'm feeling about where I am today.

"Sometimes a short walk down memory lane is all it takes to appreciate where you are today."

Have a great weekend!
