Of course its hard on you. I don't think I could do your job without being in pain either. Darn. Good for you for trying the yoga.

Good for Sally too for doing the housework and logging it in.

I Swam a mile today in a 84 degree pool and its is 84 degrees outside as well--I love FLorida weather.

Wiz runs into the thread sweating and panting.... :Slip: Ok, I'm back!!! :D

I had a very bad cold so I was down for several days. Today I was feeling a bit better though and I did 40 minutes on the elliptical! :)

did my arm exercises with 3# weights ... 4 different reps ... each arm ..

and did 10 pushups - against the counter in the kitchen ...

remember to breathe!! :D

I did my first day of physical therapy for my neck injury and the therapist guy said that now that I'm a patient there, they can help me with my MS crap along with the neck injury stuff.

Apparently I have bad posture and they're going to help me with that.

Today he showed me some exercises, and had me lay on a table with electrode-like thingies on the back of my neck while laying on some really wonderful hot pads while the electrode thingies made my neck twitch. (felt kinda good actually) The heat was really nice, even tho my left hand got a bit more numb from it, it was freezing in their office (we've got record cold temperatures right now) so the heat packs were really really nice. I think that was the best part of the whole session was that moist heat and the electrode thingies.

Then he stretched my neck a bit to help loosen muscles that are causing me problems in nerve roots and stuff. (wow, all sorts of technical crap)

He was saying that he didnt think I had slipped a disc in my cervical vertebrae, but that it is obvious that there's a spot on my neck where I might have pinched a nerve root. He could feel where it was and from the look on my face when he touched it that it was the sore spot.

He thought the physical therapy should help me a lot, at least on the neck pain from when I hurt my neck, and my back pain that I've had for the past several years.

I told him I had been walking on a treadmill up till when I hurt my neck, and he told me to get back into doing that. I think I'll do that tomorrow. (too cold and icy to drive down there today)

The PT was nice, and I go back wednesday. Too bad it'll be with a different person, I liked the guy who did the PT stuff today.

An early morning horse ride and grooming to beat the heat, then a top of 42 degrees this afternoon so into the pool for 15 minutes swim against two jets.
and an hour nap between the two :)

Keep on Moving Club: December 2009
 

Hey BOb, welcome to the club :) Good job! I know someone with MS who used to be in a wheelchair, but now walks unassisted since starting to exercise and stretch in a pool --go for it :)

Hi pud, nice job!

Great weight lifting Vonn.

I swam a mile today in the warm weather.

I moved some furniture. With the help of the handy dandy furniture sliders.

Oh, and I did some exercises they showed me at PT yesterday.

I need to do some more exercise. I might grab my dad and go down to the gym tonight and do some walking. At least it's cold enough now that if I get overheated while walking, I dont have to worry about that for long once I go outside. (I think it's like 4 degrees outside)

30 minutes swim on two jets with lots of floating and stretching too.
no ponies; it's too hot. and no nap required...

started wearing my 'step-clip' ... and yesterday - only made 1000 steps ... so, I'm going to work at doing more today ... goal is 10,000 steps a day (that's what Dr.Oz says!):p
