I finally got around to emailing my ENDO about my latest symptoms and to see if I should go in for another blood draw since I started the new dosage as of August 15. He didn't say anything about my symptoms but said I should have labs drawn again. So that afternoon (Tuesday 10/5), I got the call that the orders for my labs were submitted. So, off I went, to my usual lab to get my bi-monthly jab in the arm. It has been two full days, and no word yet from my ENDO. Hopefully I get the call tomorrow.
In the meantime, I went rock climbing Tuesday evening. I'm still a little sore, even in my legs. And I didn't stretch well enough after run club Wednesday night, so my legs are not very happy with me. But I think I did a lot better, at climbing, this time than the last time I went. I could have just picked two really easy walls to start off with, but I had a lot more confidence in where I was putting my feet and really tried to push myself up with my legs to get to the next hold or grip thing, whatever it is called. I actually got to meet the guy that sets some of the routes and some of the other guys Serena (and her husband) climb with. I got a few more bruises on my arms and legs, but they were worth it.
Run club was a bit of a disaster. Well, only because I left my Nike Sportband at home. I have this little pouch that holds my sportband, my old 1 GB iPod nano & Nike+ adapter, and the cheap stock headphones that used to come with all iPods, and I left it in my other gym bag. ARGH!!!!. I ended up using the pedometer on my new iPod nano. Better that than nothing, I guess. We all started running in a group, at a faster pace. I was good for about .75 miles, then I slowed down. I jogged and walked the rest of it with the new girl. Turns out she lives in the same neighborhood, and runs at the lake. We are close in pace, so that was comforting. I don't know what my deal was after the run, but I just couldn't get a good enough stretch in. So my body is getting me back now by making me feel that I'm closer to 50 than closer to 41 years.....of being me. Wow - I got calf camps, in both legs, jogging on the treadmill after pilates last night!
With any luck, tomorrow will bring a call from my ENDO's office and much happier leg and arm muscles.
