Hello All!  Sorry it has been so long.  The world is spinning and I'm just trying to hold on.  Have only averaged about one 5 K a week in the last 4 weeks. 

Stepped on a large rock while running and it hit right where I have a screw in my foot.  My foot turned black and blue within a couple of hours and stayed like that for a couple of weeks.  Ouch!  Felt like I broke my foot but doctor says everything is in place.

Plan to increase my mileage once again.

Been working, going to school, driving my youngest here and there, and had my mother and big brother over for a few weeks.

I have been taking Sulfasalizine and am not too happy as I believe it is causing my hair loss.  :(

Was supposed to see the rheumatologist today but had to reschedule as I am very sleep deprived and feared falling asleep at the wheel.  It is a hour and half drive from where I am.

I had been attending school full time and just recently dropped one class to survive all my classes.  My accounting class is kick my behind. 

Hope all is well with all of you. 

My boys  band Revolt With Reason will be at the HOUSE OF BLUES Hollywood on December 17th.  Should be lots of fun because that is my twins birthday!  :)  :)

 Have a fantastic Thanksgiving for all of you who celebrate it : )   :)

A windy 4 mile run yesterday up the hill and along the Aquaduct

A windy 4  mile run yesterday up the hill and along the Aquaduct.  It was beautiful but the wind was so strong it blew my one foot and it would hit the other when running!  I stayed far away from the aquaduct water because I felt like the wind would push me in.  Unfortunately I was allergic to something because I had an allergy attack that lasted several hours afterwards.  Feel much better today. 

It still was worth it.  It is so beautiful up there.  I was a little slower than usual averaging 5 miles per hour and I blame it on the wind.  :) 

Been working out at the gym as well with lounges, pull ups and dips.

Taking sulfazine, don't really feel it's doing anything, still having flare-ups in my fingers and ankles.
My rhuematologist said it would probably take about six weeks ...think it's only been 2 or 3.

Signed up for the color run in Lancaster for February.  Can't wait  :) :)

Color run!!! Be there

Going to sign up for this run.  Looks like fun!!!    :) :) :)

Hello All. Haven't been blogging lately...

Hello All.  Haven't been blogging lately...  Been taking care of my mom and so I haven't really the time to blog between that, school, work and appointments. :o  Haven't really been running lately as well.

Saw the Rheumatologist yesterday and we agreed to try Sulfasalazine again.  I just feel my pain is not as bad as before I started Enbrel. 

She also ordered an x-ray of my foot because when the balls of my feet swelled up a few weeks back it left my right foot feeling a little discombobulated.  So I will be getting that x-ray tomorrow.

So needless to say I haven't been running in the last week :\  

Can't wait to get back on track.  This last month and half my workouts have been much more sparse.  Need to get back to at least where I was.  :o

A side note my twins are back in college and my youngest, Garrett is now a senior in high school.

Yesterday Garrett auditioned for a Disney show called Jessie.  Well, I guess he didn't get it because we haven't heard anything yet and you usually do by now I believe. :o  He's kind of sad about it, but I don't see signs that he is giving up.

He is also working on practicing the SAT questions. 

Have a great day.

Thanks for reading. :)

Results of today's ultrasound and second mammogram

Results of today's ultrasound and second mammogram were normal!!!  wahoooooo!!  Wow, what a scary thing to go through. I guess the first one was a false-positive.

But wow, how your mind just goes to town when you are sitting there waiting for results in the cold little room with other ladies dressed in hospital gowns waiting for their answers as well....so surreal....sooooooo scary!!! 

God bless all the people who have breast cancer. May they win their fight!!

Yikes! Abnormal mammogram :(

Yikes!  Abnormal mammogram :(   Go on Friday for more tests.  Trying to think positive.

We'll see.  :o
