Wellness Wednesday – I need my own TV show.
I’m supposed to get my stitches out this morning, yay! It’s been 13 days since my surgery, and let’s just take a moment to discuss the medical situation over the last less-than-two-weeks. First, I went home from surgery. No problem. … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hikes of 2021, #30-35
Since I’m currently on a walking-hiking-running-anything-to-do-with-my-foot break, this post is a bit shorter in number than usual. I might be off for a few months, though, so I didn’t want to just hold it in my drafts. I’ll be back … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – A New Hope
No, not a Star Wars joke. I know enough about Star Wars from my SW-obsessed child to know this is the name of a movie, and apparently, on looking it up, it’s the first movie that came out, and I’ve … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Foot Update
Fair warning: This post will (immediately) have a foot photo. It’s not gross or anything, but some people hate foot photos. As discussed before: Something happened to my left foot last September/October. It suddenly began to swell in a localized … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – The Clothes In My Closet
In September 2011, after I’d lost 60 lbs and had crossed the arbitrary dividing line between a 2 or a 1 at the beginning of my weight, I finally decided to get rid of my bigger clothes. I’d held onto … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – A Battery of Tests
I’ve mentioned before that it seems like everything is happening all at once, now that things are happening generally. Over the last few weeks, I’ve had two different sets of bloodwork, three sets of x-rays, an ultrasound, and visits with … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hikes of 2021, #24-29
Lots of state parks this time around! I’ve been doing a bit less over this period as I’m trying to protect my foot, still waiting for my MRI and to find out if it’s broken or has soft tissue damage … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – 23 Years
Before I start this post, I want to talk a bit about the “new” WordPress. Yesterday, WP converted me over without permission, and I lost the ability to choose the classic editor. I despise the new editor. It’s so buggy. … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Enchanted Rock
Last Thursday, a few members of my hiking group leadership team and I went out to Enchanted Rock State Park. It was Jennine’s birthday, and she wanted to conquer this rock for her special day. When she mentioned her plan, … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hikes of 2021, #17-23
Time for another round of hike-logs! 17. Both times that I’ve been out to this park now, it’s been solid fog! Today, we had rain in addition to fog, and tons of mud. Only one trail was open, and it … Continue reading
