As far as Monday’s go, yesterday was pretty typical. I had physical therapy from 6-8 last night, which was exhausting as usual. I told my PT guy that after my run on Saturday morning my knee was feeling awful all day, and that walking up the stairs was painful, so we did the ultrasound treatment again last night. He also recommended that maybe I should schedule another doctors appointment, and maybe get some Cortisone shots. So we’ll see about that.
I was pretty negative going into last nights appointment, and didn’t really expect to run for more than a few minutes without pain, but I did 15 and only felt the beginning twinges the last 10 seconds or so. The one thing I’m hating about PT, is how it has the ability to dictate my mood. A good session and I’m usually pretty happy and excited, but after a bad one I’m so depressed and feel like I’m never going to get better and that I’m not healing at all. Very frustrating. Yesterday was the beginning of week 7 of treatments, and there is still no end in sight :(.
There was a general theme to my meals yesterday, so I took pictures of both lunch and dinner.
A leftover piece of grilled chicken, marinated in Italian dressing, with lettuce on a whole wheat wrap.
And cheesy potato casserole. All leftover from Sunday’s Mother’s Day BBQ. By the time I showered after PT, it was almost 8:30 and I was hungry. Cooking wasn’t going to happen, so dinner was more leftovers, haha.
This piece of chicken was marinated in BBQ sauce, and there was an addition of pasta salad for dinner. My mom ate the same thing, so I think that about takes care of the leftovers. Now I don’t know what I’ll eat for the rest of the week, but I’m sure I’ll figure something out.
I loved Dancing With the Stars last night, everyone did so good! I especially loved Nichole and Derek’s 50’s Paso, they are so good. It’s getting to the point now where I’m going to be sad to see anyone go. I think it should be either Niecy or Chad, but for some reason my girl EA was in the bottom two last week. So who knows what will happen.
The boyfriend is supposedly coming to visit this weekend, but I won’t believe it until he is actually in my house. Especially since he is currently in Virginia with no travel plans scheduled yet. So uh yeah, we’ll see about that. And because this picture cracks me up, I’m leaving ya’ll with that today.
Look how much children love me, haha. I maintain that he was just trying to get down to crawl after the cat, and really didn’t hate being in my arms that much, but whatevs.
Happy Tuesday!! Who’s excited for LOST tonight????!!!
