Mystery Solved

I'm laying in bed the other night and notice that where I've been having that pain in my ribcage I can feel a vein or something. It only hurts right on the vein, not the slightest to the right or to the left. So the next morning I call the plastic surgeon's office and they have me come in that afternoon. The pain is apparantly a clotted vein from the surgery.... a thombosis..the surgeon comments ever so quickly. hmmmm. I'm supposed to take advil for five days to see if it clears on it's own. Meanwhile, my primary physician is a little freaked out that he didn't do an xray to see where it was and what kind of vein it was. So, this is me waiting five days to see if I have a heart attack, a pulmonary embolism, or that I just have nothing to worry about and hope it fixes itself. Surely, if it were a big deal the surgeon would have appeared more concerned. Surely.....

Can I say I hate the time difference this time of year??? It was totally dark when I dropped the boys off to school today. There's something wrong with that. I love the sunlight and long days. I'll take that over dark and dreary any day. It's nice once in a while but daily?? No, that has to go and soon. I could never live in Alaska where it's permanently dark for days or months on end. There has to be a high suicide rate in that state. I get depressed after just three days of rain...call me a wimp.

So getting back in the gym has been a humbling experience. Wow, have I lost alot of strength...particularly in my legs that haven't had a real workout since my injury. Hubs went with me yesterday and made me do single legged movements on my right side. That's the weakest. It's just embarrassing lifting with baby weights when you're used to lifting really heavy. What's hysterical is seeing the same strained look on my face with light weights that I had with the super heavy sets. It's hard to get through the set without bursting into laughter! You'll see I changed my profile pic. I was getting too many pervert stops on my sight with Monica's hot body posted up there. Maybe the skull and crossbones will scare them away, even though they're all girly. I'm so far from achieving Monica's bod right now that it just depressed me anyway. Maybe later.

Here's a fun pic. Thing 2 and me went on a date about a month ago. How handsome is he??? No comments on my stylish "do".....I had 10 minutes to throw myself together, so all things considered, I think I looked FINE.
