Physical Therapy was Great!! Save 💰

   
   
 After complaining for about a month and walking like Quasimoto, I finally took my behind to physical therapy.  I'm thoroughly happy with the outcome. I freakin' ecstatic!!!  Good News. Good News!! Doc says there was no sign of a meniscus problem nor a mcl tear.  Its Norse of a structural problem.  He stated that because I run long distance my hips don't want to. Lol. They tighten up and therefore puts alot of pressure on the knee.  I got a massage to remove some of the swelling. He said there was a significant amount of swelling in there.  After the massage, I did some really light exercises and was free to go.
     Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome and glad I chose PT rather than going to the orthopedist. I saved a crap load of 💰.  Why? You ask.  Well an ortho probably would have run a lot of tests then come to the same conclusion as the PT. So, for now I will work on strengthening my hips. I love this run journey. You learn so much about yourself.
     My recommendation to all runners is get to know a physical therapist. Make him or her your best friend.  Run Happy!!

Do you do PT? Do you have him on speed dial? What has your run journey taught you? Comment 👇.   LiveLove Laugh

So, you think you are raising a respectful child? Think again!

SO, You think you are raising a respectful child?  THINK AGAIN      I recently took a break from nursing and started substitute teaching.  I mean why not, I love children.  Hunty!! Listen, Get yo Chile! Get some tea while you are at it and sit down because we need to chat! I went into a first grade class room feeling like these are the ones I would have a greater impact on.  They are corrigable at this age right? RIGHT??  🤤🤤🤤      The day started out well.  I was able to follow the curriculum somewhat.  By noon, I swore they were sundowning.😁😁. They would not listen for NOTHING!  Most adults would say... "They are six and seven year olds".  This is true.  However, times are a changing.  I will tell you why.      I used to be afraid for any adult to call my parents because there was sure to be some type of reprimand.  When my parents said, "Close your mouth when adults are ...

Hello Ladies and Gents,        I am doing something that I love and that I find relaxing.  What's that you say? Are you writing about running? Yes, of course I am.  That's another of my  faves.  I'm sure you will love this blog! We will chat and I will be sharing so much information.  Some may ask where is this coming from. Well! I like to think I've always been creative and a little funny😂.  But as confirmation, a nursing instructor said something to me that has stayed with me for many years.  She said, "You're a great writer, if nursing doesn't work out for you, you have a back up". I was a little perturbed at first and I thought what is she trying to say? Lol.  But, I let it go because I thought I do love writing and she's right, I am good at it.  That's not over confident that's self assurance. If I don't believe in me then who will?
