Spin class.  Man am I ready to run fast.  All this resting is making me crazy.  Gave myself home IV therapy yesterday.  A lot cheaper than in the hospital.  Saved myself 500 dollars!!!  The truck came to my house and gave me the liquid iron to give myself intravenously.  My coworker placed the IV.    Foot is a real P.O.W.  (piece of work).  I am determined to get a second steroid shot today even though it has only been one week.  I don't think my GP Dr. gave it correctly.  The one I got in November for my other foot worked it less than a day.  AND when he gave it back then IT HURT LIKE THE DICKENS.  The shot last Friday hurt for a 1/2 a second and NOTHING LIKE the last one.  It did however hurt to stand on it for two days after the shot.  Odd because my last one I could run with a problem the next morning.   Blah.  ALSO--  a week ago my daughter brought home The Hunger Games book from her Jr. High School library.  She had it on hold for me.  She read the books over a year ago when she was 12 and absolutely loved them.  She is an avid reader and has been reading chapter books since before kindergarten and I am not kidding.  She has read more books in the last year then I have read in my entire lifetime.  Still, not kidding.  ANYWAY-- we are going to the Hunger Games today at 3:50pm.  I have to say the premise of the book is just plain disgusting!!    9 outside. foot is telling me it is not going to happen.  no long run.  no more running for a while.  AP easy 8:30.

Well you are one of the few people who at least knows what they are doing w/ home IV therapy! I hope this helps you get back on track.

my body (except my foot) Jake really is ready for anything. I am still baffled this had to come on like this. I feel I am down to the wire here.

Sounds like your daughter and mine would be good friends! :) She wasn't reading before Kindergarten, but she does do nothing but constantly read now!!

Glad you got to spin and that you're saving yourself a ton of money - I could never make a home IV work! :)

You are crazy for giving yourself an IV!! That stuff freaks me out. I could never be a nurse....have I ever told you I pass when just when getting a blood draw. ha ha go ahead and feel free to make fun of me all you want next time you see me. :)

Have fun at the movie. I haven't read the books but everyone seems to love them.
