Mad Manatee Mentors v.2 thr.3 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes considered) (Page 51)

This Manatee needs a great big hug.

Last night we noticed Copy cat was not walking right and she was pretty lethargic.  My vet couldn't see her today because they were full. We took her to the emergency vet--who was very kind and compassionate.....to learn she has lymphoma.  We decided on supportive care for her thinking we had maybe 3 months at best.  She died about an hour after we got home.  We are all wrecks.

I started wearing them in mid-August and the knee problems started in mid-late Nov.  My old shoes are pretty worn but I guess it's worth trying switching back to them for a few weeks. 

I noticed tonight when I was warming up for my strength workout (yes, thank you, I actually did it!!) that running in place didn't hurt.  Granted I was barefoot on carpet and was actually running around the living room playing with the dog, but whatever.  It's throbbing a little now but there was no 5/10 pain like there was yesterday within less than 5 min. on the road.

Right on time here in North America :-)  Thanks for the kind wishes!

I'm sorry that it's still aggravated. I do think that trying the other shoes for even a week or two is worth a shot.

Congrats on the strength workout1

Just got back from the doctor, who referred me to PT like I wanted.  I've been thinking about what changed around the time my knee started acting up.  It seems to correlate with changing my running in mid-November based on the video analysis I did with my coach.  I had been overstriding with my R leg (probably couldn't with my left because of flexor weakness).  I shortened my stride and increased cadence.  I know that's supposed to be good but I wonder if the complete switch might have caused ITB issues, which I'm already prone to because of my hip surgeries.  I'll see what they say at PT and I've asked my coach her opinion and whether she thinks it's worth it to do another analysis.  In the meantime, I'm going to try aqua-jogging and see how that goes. 

Racing Manatees!

Good luck to any and all Manatees participating in New Year's Day runs!

Continued good thoughts for Melanie and her dad.

Just checking in, Manatees. Finally home at the Funny Farm in Bali.

Heartsick and sick to my stomach and every kind of sick over the missing Air Asia 8501 flight. I have a close friend (since childhood) with family members on board. Many folks here are not getting a lot of sleep tonight. Indonesia's director of search and rescue is also a family friend.

Everyone here knows someone who knows someone. It's terrible.

Indonesians especially when in large groups are very bubbly, cheerful and noisy. I flew between two major airports here today (Jakarta to Bali) and despite both being packed to the gills with holidaygoers there was eerie quiet. Eyes and ears glued to TVs, radios, and phones for any word.

It doesn't matter, really, the countries. 162 people, people loved by someone, probably many ones, are missing. There just aren't any words, countries, or calculations for that.

{{hugs}} I thought of you when I saw this on the news.

Truly awful, and again in your part of the world.  Keeping you and your friends in my thoughts.  (((Hugs)))  I'm glad you're safely back at the Funny Farm.
