I went to work today. Kind of a slow day. But, it's always good to open on Saturday's. After work, I went to the gym where my trainer kicked my behind!! We worked out strong. I even taught him the football move on the ropes. He was embarrassed that I knew it and he didn't!! LOL He's really cute. We always have a good time when he trains me. I call him Jillian from the Biggest Looser!! He says I whine a lot, but like I tell him, I may whine, but I always do the work. He can't argue with me there. He's had me on the spin class bikes. My butt HURTS SOOOOO Bad from that darn twit size seat!! But, I push myself because I have a goal.
After working out, I went home and mowed my lawns. I love watching my neighbors faces when they see me mowing my own lawns. I used to milk cows when I lived in Colorado, and I have my cow milking boots. I always wear those when I mow my lawns so that I don't ruin my tennis shoes. Someone needs to photograph me one day!! LOL

I finally got to work out again. My leg was still bothering me. But not as bad. My poor trainer felt so bad. He thought he killed me. LOL I told him what had happened. He took it easy on me. I still did 11 minutes on the stair master. Not bad considering I took a week off exercising.

Today, I went to visit my OBGYN. Since all my problems tend to be female related, I went to her and told her what had happened on the 3rd. I informed her this is not the first time this has happened to me. Infact, I have been in the ER 6 previous times for the same exact pain and no one can ever figure out just what is wrong with me.
Since she knows my history, she explained that since I have had 3 surgeries in the same exact spot, I have developed scar tissue and that scar tissue can be extremely painful. It's not worth having surgery to remove it because there is no guarantee it won't come back worse the next time.
So, again, I was ordered not to exercise for a week. NOT HAPPY!!

Can you believe I ended up in the Emergency Room today!! So, I was complaining about pain yesterday and now I was in even worse pain today. From underneath my stomach shooting straight down my leg. I went into work until 4pm even though I could barely walk or put any pressure on my leg.
I arrived at the lovely Kaisser Permanente in Santa Clara around 4:30pm. They were busy!! I was doubled over in pain as I patiently awaited my turn to go in. Finally at 7pm and me bitching a few times, I got taken to the back. They gave me an IV, gave me morphine to settle the pain, and started their assumptions about what could be wrong with me. I was in so much pain that they gave me a shot of morphine every 30 minutes for the first hour and half and the pain would not subside!! They offered me more, but I was already loopy enough and could not handle anymore.
The ER Doctor was certain it was my psychotic nerve, and kept focusing on that theory. Then around 3am thought it could be my appendix and ordered a cat scan. Cat Scan came back normal, so at 5am, they sent me home with prescription for Tylenol with Codeine and told me no working out for a week. I'm allergic to Vicodin so, Tylenol is what I get.
I came home in pain, took the day off and rested.

I went into work early today to get some much needed work done, but, like always, I had appointments I had to get to. So, I could not do what I needed to do. Oh Well, that's how it goes.
I went to the gym for my 5pm training with my trainer. He was telling me he was proud of me beating that Stair Master. He had accused me of having a mental block on that machine. I probably did, but now that I beat it, I feel so much better about it. I have been having pains on my lower stomach again. I have a feeling it's the Diverticulosis acting up again. I hope it's not, because I don't have time to waste. Unfortunately, whenever my Diverticulosis acts up, it keeps me in bed in severe pain for a week. So, I began taking medication to combat it. Hopefully this pain will subside soon.
Anyway, I worked out hard. I see myself getting stronger every day. I can't wait till measurement day so I can see my progress so far.

I had a successful day today. After only being able to do the Stair Master for 3 minutes and reaching for my inhaler, I went to the gym determined to do 5 minutes on the Stair Master. I ended up doing 20 Minutes!!! I was so proud of myself!! I was smiling and tempted to do the goofy dance when I reached 20 minutes. I could not believe it. I think me resting on Sunday, gave me the strength I needed to accomplish what I did. My trainer was working out another client and I could see he kept watching me. When I got done, I walked up to him and told him 20 MINUTES!! He was really excited because he knows I've been struggling with that machine.
After that accomplishment, I got on the treadmill for another 23 minutes. I wanted to go 3 miles, but my shins began hurting so badly, I had to stop. I need to figure out a way to get my shins to stop hurting to keep me pushing forward.
