Hi, Sherry.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'd never heard of either of those ladies. I did see some practices that look like something I'd like to do.
I took DH to the clinic yesterday. They ended up taking us to the doctors' area instead. I think they were trying to keep people with covid symptoms away from everyone else. There were people there to see their doctors, but not as many as we usually see. DH ended up seeing his own primary doctor. He was supposed to see a PA, but his doctor waltzed in and said he told them he would take it instead.
They gave DH a shot and a 5-day script for steroids. Then the doctor warned him to watch his blood sugar, which DH already knew to do. So far, he's been keeping it down, but he only started the steroids today. I guess the shot didn't affect his blood sugar too much. He said he was already starting to get some relief from the itching.
Anita, he got it while removing a vine that was growing on the trunk of a tulip poplar tree. He didn't know what it was. He told his uncle all about it during a phone call, and the uncle asked him what the vine looked like. After DH described it, his uncle said he thought is was poison ivy. At first, DH didn't have too much trouble. But it spread a bit and got worse over time. DH said the vine stuck to the trunk like glue, so he had to work pretty hard to remove it. He and his uncle believe he was lucky it wasn't worse.
Laura, I get to go back to the clinic tomorrow for more blood work. They don't take appointments, so I can't wait in the car for them to call me. But I will know tomorrow to wait right inside the door for someone to come and take my temperature. I don't want to get yelled at again.
We had rain off and on all morning, but I think it's gone now until Monday.
I hope Paula is okay and was just busy yesterday.
Today I did Chiseled Upper Body and my customized upper body routine. Chiseled uses light weights (no more than 10s) which is why I went ahead and did my own routine. And today I was able to up my weights for chest press (25s) and flys (20s). That's only for a simple set of 16 reps though. If I was doing a Cathe workout with a ton of reps, I'd have to go lower. But it's a new milestone for me. I'm almost up to what I was using before the shoulder injury. I also did the Sarah Beth yoga practice for today. It was hip openers, so I liked it better than the others I have done.
Waves to everyone! Enjoy the weekend.
