Seriously, If You Need to Exercise That Badly, Maybe You Should Get Your Own...

A few weeks back when I started to feel a bit better I decided to sign up for myRAfitkit. It's a workout for gimpy people like me. I went to their website and figured out what exactly would work for me and they figured out a program that they thought I could handle...uhm yeah...maybe.

They were nice enough to mail me information about their site and a DVD of my exercises. Now this is where it gets weird.

I pull the envelop out of the mailbox and it's already opened...and it's a pull tab so it didn't accidentally not get closed.

Yes, I kid you not...someone stole my RA exercise routine. Which I truly think is the most warped things I have ever heard of...especially since it's free to anyone on the internet, RA or no.

I haven't had a chance to go back and request another DVD because I'm sure when I tell them my copy was stolen before it hit my mailbox they will laugh themselves silly.

I think I've decided to start with yoga again, seeing as how I just found out that my back is nicely GROWING BONE. It would be very nice to start stretching the muscles that have become weak while I haven't been walking. Oh, did I mention I STARTED TO WALK again?

Life hasn't been easy and within the last week I have been extremely tested but I'm getting my legs back underneath me and I'm choosing to walk away from this and get on with it.

How badly do you think I can injure myself during my first bit of yoga?

    Good luck with the yoga and congratulations on picking up walking again. It is my favorite form of exercise.

    I love that someone felt the need to have your CD. I hope it is doing miracles for them. :)

Overheard at My New Rheumatologist's Office....

"Melissa, the issue with your feet is OBVIOUSLY your rheumatoid arthritis. Let's increase your medicine, give you some steroids and consider a cortisone injection. You are obviously NOT in remission. How long do you want to try this treatment?" "A month?" "I want you back in two weeks for a check up." And at that point I had to physically restrain myself from hugging my new doctor...he's not someone I would go to for life (he's seriously about a hundred years old) but for the next three months, I can totally handle that. Oh, I almost forgot while I was checking out he came to find me and asked me about what I take for pain...and then offered me something... And then my chiropractor told me he would be happy to deal with my back issues and that was icing on the cake....of course this was after he rubbed my ankle for 15 minutes. Yeah, an all around stellar day for doctors!! My trust in doctors is going up at each visit...thank goodness....pardon...

No Tip for You!!

It's been awhile since I've last had my nails and toenails done. I decided to go yesterday and treat myself... When I was halfway there I realized that I hadn't shaved that morning. I had already called to ask if they had an opening and I really just wanted to get it done. I figured that it couldn't be that big of a deal, right? I'm sitting in the chair relaxing...the nail tech is rubbing my legs and she looks up at me and says, "you need a shave, huh?" I was literally struck dumb as my jaw hit the floor....now I'm not a hairy, amazon woman or anything and I didn't even think the situation was forest like or anything but I guess when your rubbing someones leg you can feel stubble. So, I'm thinking here comes the sales pitch for waxing...when the nails tech looks down and gets back to work. So seriously, my nail tech outed my leg stubble...good thing she wasn't rubbing my arm pits.... What would you do in my situation?

There Is No Excuse for Flip Flops...

I was at the chiropractor's office the other day when I overheard a conversation about a woman's shoes. Her doctor was giving her a hard time for continuing to wear heels even though they were contributing to her health issues. I sat on my table, smugly thinking that I had wonderful $45 flip flops on and he wouldn't possibly have a reason to yell at me. Well, at least until my next visit anyway.... I walked in limping asking if it was normal that my foot was numb when the war against my shoes started. He looked at me and said "don't you have any running or walking shoes" and said, "yes." Oh yeah, I lied...what's a girl supposed to do? Running shoes are just plain ugly, good for your feet, but ugly (or is that butt ugly?) So I added, "my flip flops have arch support in them" at which point he said, "I'm looking at your flip flops (dripping with disdain) and there is not enough support in them (good thing I didn't tell him th...
