Reading over my last post, it seems like every other time I write on here, my hip has done a complete 180. For the moment, knock on wood, it is feeling the best that it has in a really long time. It feels so good that I even played lazer tag, during which I ran for the majority of the ten minute game. Crazy, right? The really remarkable thing about it is that I haven't taken my anti-inflammatories in a week. There is a good reason for that--I was sick last week with a fever that spiked all the way to 103.3 and as low as 94.8. For some reason, my anti-inflammatories had no impact on my fever, so, for good measure, I stopped taking them and replaced them with regular Advil. That seems to have worked, and my fever held off for the duration of my last Unofficial. After that, it seems to have just disappeared. Nevertheless, I'm guessing that my rheumatologist would probably like me to start taking my anti-inflammatories again, but what fun is that? It's so much more fun to rebel and experiment, but I guess I'll follow doctor's orders on this one.
One really nice thing about being so sick last week and my mostly OJ/Gatorade diet is that I managed to lose 1.8lbs. Even though I'm healthy again, it seems like that weight is staying off. At this point, I'm back to 22.8lbs down. That means that I have another 19.2 to go. I have my sights set on losing that weight before I start work in October, but we'll see how studying for the bar exam impacts my goals. In the meantime, I'm going to do all that I can to keep heading in this direction, especially in light of my upcoming spring break cruise. Until then, it's back to studying, and maybe a workout later today. Wish me luck!
Besito,
A
