HI everyone this will be short just to let everyone know why I have not been on the last few days.

I know I have said many times of the last week how I am not well and keep on working hard at my exercise and running goals well I ended up in the emergency room Friday morning and am now on bedrest with medications across the board and around the clock which pretty much keep me sleeping only to be awoken by an alarm to tell me I have to take medication.

I am most sad about that I am now on a steroid pack for the next 21 days... so I have a very bad feeling that even though it takes my appetite away it always puts on a few pounds. I hate taking them but I am allergic to anti-inflammatories (advil, motrin, naproxsen, etc) so this is the only alternative.

I got so bad I had a fever and my neck was so stiff and sore I could not even move it side to side nor lie down. They have me on pain and muscle relaxer (valium) and I am to do nothing for three days. I just woke up to my medication alarm and decided to get this typed out as so I could keep myself and everyone else in the loop. I weighed 199 still yesterday and I will weigh again on MOnday afyer this ordeal with the medications is done... well the steriods are for 21 days... ick!

I did not get but one run in this week and that was Monday, but I did get a walk in Thursday night when I went to the USC old Miss game and I think that is what put my pain at it's end. I woke up Friday with numbmess in a couple of my fingers in my left hand and in the left side of my face and me being a emergency nurse knew I had no choice than to go in for a check. My blood pressure was elevated. Normally it is 110/60 I got there it was 146/98.

I did try and eat one thing so far today and I made eggs and cheese with chicken and a glass of water and now I am going to go back to bed.
