Had the visit with the doctor; cast was taken off, and I was given a brace towear. I don't have to wear it all the time, but I do when my wrist starts to feel tired. My wrist is still sore, and moving it the wrong way is a BIG mistake. However, it's getting better, and the swelling is not so bad as it was on Friday. I go back to the doctor in a month. Things should be moving along quite well by then. However, I MUST wear the brace when I'm riding. I was able to ride with the cast on, and the brace is not as obtrusive as the cast was.
Sara and I ran a dog 5K on Saturday, which was a race to help fund the local animal shelter and from whence she got her dog, Jack. She also has a dog named Daisy, but Daisy did not come from the same place. There were dogs everywhere, and many in costume (and how many of them really wanted to be in those costumes?). This is why dogs bite!
Sunday morning I went to the gym, did 3.1 miles on the elliptical, went to the grocery store, and then did some glute, ab work from Body Sculpting with Gilad . My glutes are killing me today! I definitely need to kick it up a notch in the sculpting/toning areas, not to mention I'm running like an old lady! Oh, wait! I am an Old Lady!

Finally Friday
It's Friday, and even though I've been to work only three days this week, it doesn't make a bit of difference in how long the week really is. 3, 5, they all seem to be too long.
Tomorrow is the 5K at Pimlico Race Track. From what I understand, it will be a big race with loads of people. I sent Dave to the sports store to pick up my race packet today so we don't have to get up two hours before the race to get my stuff. The race doesn't start until 10:00; there is a parking lot for the race track. I figure once the race starts, I'll never get lost. I'm so slow there will always be somebody ahead of me to follow to the end.
Still going to take it easy and do elliptical today. Don't want to run on TM or outside, then find out I can't run tomorrow. Darn this getting old! Once one thing goes away, something else takes its place!
I'm working on my 5th pair of mittens, but I'm making them half mittens. I was looking at mitten patterns, trying to figure out where to stop the design, but it was next impossible to find a stopping place. Then I had an epiphany! I looked at the glove patterns, which have a definite stopping place for the top of the hand. This I will do; then to a few rows of ribbing, then bind off. No fingers to worry about. I'm not sure how to do the fingers on a glove, anyway. This precludes the problem and gives me a whole new realm of knitting gloves/mittens/half-mittens (gloves)

Gotta love it.

Post Tooth Extraction
Had a tooth pulled on Monday because it was fractured, and the dentist said there is nothing that can be done to repair it. Went in the morning, had general anesthesia; don't remember anything. Dave said he went to the grocery store on the way home, left me in the car; good thing I didn't decide to get up and walk around in my condition.
Got home, remember waking up about 1:00 with horrible stomach pains. Spent the entire day sleeping or in the bathroom. What fun. By 10:30 p.m., my stomach decided to calm down, but I stayed home on Tuesday, too, with an uneasy stomach, but not as bad.
I never had any pain from the extraction; only where the doctor used the needle does it hurt, and my face is still slightly swollen. Now, I have to decide what to do to replace the tooth.
Saturday is a 5K at the Pimlico Race track in preparation for the Preakness next Saturday. We get to run on the race track itself, as part of the 5K. It's for a good cause, the Susan G. Komen Cure for breast cancer. Then, after that, we go to Susie's house for dinner. Hope I can stay awake.
I've spent the better part of my days printing reams and reams of emails for one of my bosses. Talk about not going green! Well, I guess that's why I get paid; I do as I'm told. Ha!
