A Stubbron SI Joint

 Yesterday was most cloudy though it did clear off midafternoon. The high got to 25C. This morning it is clear and 15C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 22C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning I was to the hall a bit early to make sandwiches. Once they were made, I helped daughter-in-law stock the bar with water and pop. I struggled as my SI joint was stiff and out of place. I could feel it. 

Once home, I set out to do my to-do list. I put the garden hose away which was quite the job. I struggled getting the hose off the tap. I had to drain the hose and roll it up. And getting it hung up was another struggle. This hose did not want to be handled at all and I was so sore I almost let it win. I did win in the end. 

The next job was to take the food from the fridge freezer to the downstairs freezer. I put it all into a grocery tub and got it down there. I took some old popsicles and threw them into the kitchen sink to thaw as they were freezer burnt. Next was to empty the fridge and put it all into the small fridge. 

The last job was to take the recycling out to the proper containers and when that was done, so was I. I was so sore that I was almost in tears. I laid on the bed and did my exercises starting with the easy ones and moving up to the one where I have to extend my leg backwards. When I did that one, I had a long loud crack. My SI joint released. I laid on the bed exhausted but a lot of the pain was gone. 

After lunch I had an hour's nap. When I woke up I laid on the bed and rested. When I got up, I had a lot less pain but I still had some. I knew I wasn't done with the stretching but knew it had to wait for later on. My body couldn't handle it at that time. 

I was out for dinner at family's. We were to book hotel rooms but I had some issues that I need to deal with today. We watched some videos on Montevideo. One was on the area where we will be staying and the other was about markets we want to visit. They are set up for the month of December. 

I accidentally stretched in bed and had a series of loud cracks. My SI joint and sacrum released and my pain is minimal this morning. I will keep moving around and stretching on a regular basis with hopes it doesn't happen again. It will as it always seems to happen if I over do it. 

I have been watching what I have been eating and have lost 1.3 lbs in 8 days. I have almost met my first goal and have set my next one which I hope to reach before we leave in 6 weeks. It is doable if I follow my plan. 

I didn't do any work on the memory book as I was too sore and tired. I did knit 4 rounds on the sock in the afternoon. 

Today

I want to do some housework, laundry, and cook some chicken for a couple of dinners. I want to work on the memory book this afternoon and knit tonight if I don't have to go out. 

Until the next time................................................................
