Another visit to the ER :(
This time it was for stomach cramps, back pain (severe) and chest pains :(
When it rains, it pours
Even the ER nurse remembered me from the last visit. I have been there too often lol
They have no idea why I had stomach cramps so they gave me some Maalox for that, didn't do much. They gave me a couple of antibiotics for the other stuff and some Vicodin for the pain. Vicodin works wonders :)

I Lied
I know I said I was going to write a post about being a hippie, but I lied. I have that post floating around in my head but it's not coming out today.
I just finished up my bowling league and my body is hurting all over and I just don't want to write about being a hippie. I really don't care to write at all, but I need to do so.
I have a paid post I need to write today. Body aches and pains be damned, I must finish my assignments on time. I hate to make it seem like I am chasing after the Almighty Dollar, but at this point in time, I must chase a little.
Finances here dictate that I do so. The Good Lord has blessed me in my time of finacial need with extra assignments and I am thankful for all of them :)

Some Days
Some days are better spent in the warmth and comfort of bed. Today is one of those days I fear. My body aches and my joints are as stiff as they can be without causing actual damage when I move them.
I had plans for today, helping with some cleaning up around the house as we prepare for a brief visit from my son Pat and his family. And, of course, I have assignments to write. This will have to wait.
Whenever you hear someone older tell you that arthritis and osteoporosis can be crippling, believe them.

Sore, very, very sore
I finally got to bowl yesterday. First time I've bowled since May and my old body is letting me know that it is sore, very sore. Mostly it's my bowling hand. My wrist feels terrible.
But, it was fun to bowl and hang out with the other bowlers. I am happy that I joined this league because everyone in it is just there to have some fun so it's not cuthroat and competitive like the mens league is. And, I bowled good for someone that's been off for month.
I established at 157. It might have been higher but I pretty mcuh ran out of steam by the third game. Part of that may have been because we bowled unopposed and we were going pretty quickly.
The biggest concern was that I was tired so quickly. My teammates kept asking me if I was okay, and they sounded very concerned about my health. I've got to get more exercise during the week and build my stamina back up. I don't want to be scaring people who are supposed to be having fun LOL
Have a great weekend, everyone :)

Stiff Is Not Good
Bowled two leagues back to back yesterday, first time I've done that in a month or more. My body is letting me know today that it did not enjoy the experience. My arms hurt like crazy and my legs aren't far behind LOL
For the first league I used my older, heavier ball and then switched to the lighter ball for the second league. I think I should have done that in reverse, or maybe just kept to the new, lighter bowling ball for both leagues. Since I am bowling both leagues again next Thursday, I believe I will use the lighter ball for both leagues and see how well that goes. I cannot have a body that doesn't want to work because it is too sore :(

Plantar Fasciitis
Okay, okay, calm down dear readers. I know you don't speak Latin or Mecial-ese. I will define Plantar Fasciitis for you.
Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition of the foot caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia that supports the arches of the foot or by biomechanical faults that cause abnormal pronation. The pain usually is felt on the underside of the heel, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing or sudden changes in weight bearing or activity. Obesity, weight gain, jobs that require a lot of walking on hard surfaces, shoes with little or no arch support, and inactivity are also associated with the condition.
Plantar fasciitis was formerly called "a dog's heel" in the United Kingdom. It is sometimes known as "flip-flop disease" among US podiatrists. The condition often results in a heel spur on the calcaneus, in which case it is the underlying condition, and not the spur itself, which produces the pain.
Okay, so now that you have a definition, you must be thinking, now what? Well, here is where I help you out, again. For relief, try night splints - they gently flex the foot and toes overnight to help provide mornings free from chronic pain. So, which one sounds better to you? Constant pain in the mornings when you step out of bed (and will drive you nuts if your job requires that you be on your feet a lot) or some simple relief for the symptoms while you sleep? It's a no-brainer, readers. Take the relief option. Click on the link above and find out for yourself just how simple it can be to relieve these foot pains.
