Supper was an Amy's cheddar burrito, a serving of tortilla chips with cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt and taco sauce.
Snacks throughout the day were 5 mini cookies, a cup of grapes, a Snackwells cereal bar, and later Skinny Cow treat maybe.
Calories came out to 1729/1930. And although I was busy all day there was no exercise to speak of.
I did visit the knee doctor today:
He was kind but extremely efficient and almost robot-like. I’m sure he sees 10 of “me” a day and it was clear he was reciting something he says over and over. I have arthritis which is, of course, caused by my weight but also from a crappy draw from my gene pool. My knee caps are thin and something else in my knee isn’t formed normally. What made the biggest impression was when he said on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst knee you could have, my left was a 6 and my right a 4. This seems pretty bad for a 40 year old. He said I was headed for replacement surgery sometime in my life.
Treatment is a cortisone shot, physical therapy starting Thursday and he recommends I see a diet doctor who uses this program which high protein pre-prepared meals, shakes, etc.
I should not continue walking for exercise which
I know it’s not the worst case scenario (only a 6!) but it all has me feeling just a little down and for sure I feel OLD. The ultimate irony was when I turned my phone back on the fertility clinic had called.
When I sat down here my full intention was to look at the diet doc’s website but the clinic had emailed other egg donor websites and I went straight there instead.
How can I have arthritis and be trying to get pregnant at the same time? It defies logic.
It must be a blow to have your best form of exercise vetoed, exercise is hard enough.
