On Wednesday, life through me a little curve ball. I had just, literally just made plans to work-out 4 days a week with a co-worker of mine. Then I got a call from my husband...
Three weeks ago, my husband had surgery on his elbow due to tendinitis. Surgery went well. Three days before getting his stitches out, an infection set in. Three doctor visits later of constant draining of this infection caused the following to occur: Emergency surgery or my husband will lose his arm. We were floored.
My husband just got released from the hospital today. The infection was MRSA staph. It is very contagious and could have been caused by the surgery or my husband could have been carrying this infection in his body for a while. So I am going to be stocking up on Lysol products, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, bleach, etc. My husband has to wear a pick line for the next 3-5 weeks and this is the reason also for the necessary steps to keep everything sanitized. I have spent the last 4 days in the hospital with him, only going home briefly two times.
So where do my workouts fit in? Well, before I get there, I had a PCP appointment yesterday. I have had high blood pressure for the past couple of months (that I am aware of). I know my life consists of busy this and busy that, so I thought stress was a big factor. It was, but after making some changes within the past month, I felt happier and healthier. But my blood pressure has not changed. Hmmm... Now the doctor says, lose 10 pounds in two months, or get on blood pressure medication.
Incentive? Absolutely! Let's begin our weight loss journey again... starting tomorrow! (I can't start in the middle of the day! LOL)
