Hi Everyone, the last couple of weeks have been rough for me. The Friday before Christmas I noticed a painful spot on my right shin above my ankle. Youngest DD is a Medical Assistant, & she saw it on Saturday (next day), & said it looks like cellulitis & I shouldn't wait til Monday to see Dr. I waited til Sunday afternoon & noticed I was also feeling kind of sick & woozy, so I went to ER. They confirmed it was cellulitis, & I had an IV "bolus" (big dose) of antibiotic there, then they sent me home with 2 prescriptions for more antibiotics, which I just finished last night. Then on Tuesday before Christmas I re-injured my left shoulder & can't do much at all right now & don't want to make it worse. I haven't been able to go to the Y for pool exercises in over a week due to both my injury & Dr's appts, & I've been terrified of weighing in. Our scale's battery went bad & said for my last weigh-in that I'd gained like 10 lbs! I was so sad & frustrated, tho I tried telling myself it was just the dumb scale & not reality. So I haven't weighed myself for about 3 weeks. Hubby finally replaced the scale battery & I weighed in this AM, & I weighed in at 234.8 lbs ~ YAAAY!!!
All of these challenges actually served to make me even more careful about my eating, & I felt so bad whenever I ate too much or splurged on goodies, so I guess it all balanced out in the end, & I'm doin a Happy Dance! ~ ((Skinny Hugs))
