After a rough start this morning, and by the end of the day, I had a pretty fantastic day! I woke up at 8am this morning and realized I slept through my alarm that would have allowed me to have the car today to get to my doctor's appointment for 8:30am. I quickly jumped in the shower, called a cab and rushed out the door. Once I got to the clinic, I paid for the cab, went to leave and wound up snagging my finger on something. So now I'm late for my appointment and bleeding to boot! Good thing they have bandaids there!
When the doctor's "assistant" came in she went over my blood test results before I actually got to see my doctor and I can tell you that the stress for the last 2 weeks can finally be put to rest. It turns out that all of my results came back pretty normal! I was told that my cholesterol should be at a 15.6 but, mine was at 15.8. So there was nothing to be concerned about there. My blood sugars are really good, normal, so no Diabetes for me! That one was a biggie for me. She took my blood pressure and let me know that I was 110 over 80 which is good too. Once we finished with those, we got down to the physical examination which was why I was there in the first place and then she sent me on my way to get an xray done of my back and then sent me up with an appointment for an ultrasound for next week.
She also took a look at my feet and poked and prodded and told me that I have Plantar Fasciitis. She gave me a perscription for a cream that I am supposed to apply 3 times a day and then also told me to use a golf ball on my feet as much as I can until it starts to feel better. Once I do, I am supposed to keep on with the ball on a daily basis to help it stay good and to always wear shoes in the house or wherever I may be.
So once I was finished here, Matt (Nikki's Fiancee) came and picked me up and drove me over to the World Health Centre so that I could pay the first installment on my next sessions. I had taken a coffee for Jeremy (cause he asked nicely and I'm such a nice person) and when I went to pay, my debit card declined on me. Really? I know I had the money in there!
As it turned out, I did have the money in there but, because my service fees came out for my bank, I paid for a cab in the morning, and I bought the coffee, I was $6 short to pay for the installment. WHAT??? LOL Anyhow, it is all fixed now and I am good to go. Once Matt dropped Sophia and I off at home it was smooth sailing until Jan got home. I was still pretty pumped about my test results and was really anxious to get to the gym. I went to Nikki's at 6:30 to pick her up and instead of taking the elevator up, I took the stairs. She lives on the fourth floor of the building so I figured that it would be a good start to our workout! Coming back down we again took the stairs and headed to the gym.
Once we got to the gym we got on the treadmill and started at a 9 incline and 3 speed and kept going for about 5 min. Then we played with the speed and incline up and down a little bit and after half an hour, we decided to go try out the bikes for 10 min. All in all we only did 40 min but, in my eyes, it's better than nothing. Before bed I did my normal four stretches that I usually do, and I did a nice calf stretch that also helps out the Planta Fascia as well on the stairs. Tomorrow morning I am hoping to go to the gym for 9am and may stay just a wee bit longer than an hour and get a little bit longer of a workout in. Considering the fact that my "homework" is 3 hours of cardio, I should probably get on it! Friday is my next session with Jeremy at 9am and I can't wait to see what he has in store for me! Chow for now!
