I took my MRI films with me to the chiropractors, in case he hadn't received the report yet about them. He hadn't, so he took a look at them to see if he could figure out why my right leg goes numb when I lie down. And he was able to find a cause, which is satisfying in a way and disappointing in another (it's good to know why something's going ( Read more... )

Pa got me this bellydance DVD for Christmas. The first time I tried it using my orthotics in my slippers and ended up with my left hip hurting so much that I had trouble walking for 10 days, and had to avoid swimming as well. So, I thought I'd try it one more time, with sneakers with my orthotics in them. That time was earlier today ( Read more... )

I want to play more World of Warcraft, but the server crashed while I was logging out... Now, whenever I try to log back in, it says I'm already logged in. It crashed about an hour ago. I hope my account will idle out soon, or one of the admins will fix it. *mutters* In the meantime, I guess I will go swimming... but if I can't log on when I get ( Read more... )

I was supposed to go swimming today. I feel up to it, too, and I have time, even with the pool closing at 2. However, I cannot go swimming today because yesterday I did something really stupid ( Read more... )

I just swam 12 laps, hairy legs and all. I'm tired now, but I do feel better. My muscles don't feel as tight as they did before I went swimming. I'm hoping to go again on Friday; tomorrow chaeri will be here.

I swam 15 laps today, which took me about half an hour. I've decided that going by laps instead of by time is a better system for me; it lets me spend as much time resting between laps as I need to without lowering the amount of exercise I get done. Next week I'm going to try to go twice a week, and then 3 times the week after that. My goal is to ( Read more... )

I hadn't gone swimming for a month, so I was a little nervous about how it'd go today. But I forced myself to go, period and all, and I'm very, very glad I did. I only managed 12 minutes, but I feel so much better. And my right ankle, which bothered me enough last night to force me to get up to deal with it, isn't hurting anymore, either ( Read more... )

I swam for 28 minutes yesterday. Today, my arm/shoulder muscles are sore, but other than that, I feel alright. This is a real accomplishment. Next week I'm going to try to keep swimming for 28 minutes 3 times. My goal is to swim every day for an hour or more, but I need to take it slow, especially this month since we have so much stuff to do on the

The warm water pool is really nice. It felt good to get in there and move around a bit. I did some laps and some stretches. I lasted 13 minutes. I'm going to try to go 3 times a week, though I'm not sure I'll make it this week unless I decide to go on Saturday. I'd like to go every day, but I don't think I'm up to that right now, and I really don't ( Read more... )
