    Thanks, it seems like a decent job and with benefits like that it would be hard to pass up!

    Could it have been the sand? That can't help, along with the new gait. Just curious.

    Could be, it's hard packed but still has some give, which feels good on the joints... but maybe it's harder on the gait. Who knows, stupid body.

    BTW - I just got the call, I got the library job!!

    He told me I could take as long as I needed to give notice elsewhere, but I'm not working right now... so I start Monday!

    We spent the day up in Daytona (shudder) trying to find a couple of decent shirts for me to wear. I have almost no business casual clothes as I wore jeans and tshirts to work in the stacks previously. Found a few things so now I'm all good to go!

    This is just wonderful news, good luck next week! We just hired for a new position in my section, they've made great hiring decisions these last couple of years so am looking forward to the new staff member.

    Finally got SOME news! Apparently my neck pain is from arthritis rather than stenosis, and the neurological problems appear to be coming down to an intermittent pinched nerve in my "good" shoulder. NO neck surgery - and right now that is all I care about. I've had to modify my activities, again, to lessen my symptoms but if I DID have the surgery, I would have to make the very same modifications. I don't have to give up my kettlebells (whew), just no over-head work with them and my leg is finally strengthening so I can continue hiking. I can live with that

    That's good news! Hoping that your leg keeps getting stronger and you can re-align whatever's pinching that nerve. Stay determined!

    It was an expensive but helpful process. None if it would have happened if the MRI report hadn't been quite long and scary, my Dr was very concerned. Thankful to know than to guess so both coach and Chiro can help me out!

    Good deal, Catrin! Always good to get some definitive info so you know what you're actually dealing with.
