MAY 7th, 2009

OK, here we are in May already. So much has happened this year, since my last blog MR Nixon , my hubbies dad has gone through so many health issues and needless to say we were the ones who stepped up to the plate and took care of things, because we love him, and felt that nobody else would. We were right...after many days by his side in the hospital and everyday in his rehab I was there to listen to his thoughts and concerns, he became so dear to me in the past few months. Brian and I took him to change his will after he got well enough and we took over his everyday bills and made sure he got to all his Dr appts ect...and as of now, hes home and doing as well as he can. He had 2 weeks in the hospital for bacteria infection and then 2 weeks in rehab to get his strength back and then after being home for one month he decided to get the much needed carodid artery surgery which Brian and I took him to and sat by his side each day afterwards. All the while I have been trying to get better from our car accident back in Dec. 2008. My rehab didnt go so well and after 4 months of terrible pain I decided to take it to another DR. for pain management, epidurals and more MRI's. Well, I am happy to say that 3 days ago I finally started to feel Some pain releif! I had been seeing a chiropractor for 4months and getting nowhere..and for some strange reason after stopping my adjustments, I feel better. I still have pain, but I can now turn my head and take a deep breath! Thank God! And my shoulder MRI was approved for this Monday, so I will keep you posted there.But for now, no need for an epidural! yippee!!!

Brian and I have also been studing for our NFPT personal trainer certification which we finally took our test last Friday and passed!!! So we are both good to go for our Fitness training when we move to Florida in 18 months from now, with his massage theraphy and PT certs he and I are going to make a Great Team! We leave May 18th for 15 days vacation in sunny Florida, while we are there we are going to look into some jobs and scope out the area more:) We are flying because we are both afraid to make that long drive ever again after our car accident. 15 hrs in a car is NO FUN!!! So, next time I blog I will fill you in on our trip to Florida:)

As far as my training goes, I still get to the gym 4 days a week and do my light lifting for rehab and cardio to keep me somewhat lean:) Cant let 25 yrs of hard work Go to Hell completely!! Take care and God bless,

April 1, 2009

well here we are in April already! Update on my injuries are: 3 NEW blown disks in my neck and back...causing pain in arms and legs and feet. Good news is I am finally able to do LIGHT weights after 10 weeks of NOTHING!!!! I do cardio 4 days a week and my rehab exercises 3 days...so I am not just sitting around by any means! lol! Besides I am not one to sit still very long anyway...I am always moving!! My rehab is now down to 1 day a week for adjustments and 4 days weights. My headaches FINALLY have slowed down to one a week and not the everyday events I was having. The DR put me on a med about a month ago that helps with migraines...so far its helping. I am excited about our May trip to Florida! We are flying with our dogs with us in the cabin!!! NO MORE DRIVING for us ever again!!!!! The trauma the accident caused me is SO bad..I could NOT drive that far if I wanted to. The cost of us flying with the dogs is 700.00 compared to the 300.00 we used to spend driving...but its going to be well worth it!!! We will be there in 2 hrs instead of 15 hrs!! I will be going to the NY IFBB Pro show on May 16th which is 2 days before we head to Florida. There will be about 20 IFBB Pro ladies competing this yr in NY and I look forward to supporting them all!!!
Until next time, e-mail me! I love hearing from you all!
Stay healthy!

OK here goes the bad news...yes..more bad news:( Saw the DR yesterday, he says no gym until I am able to recover....I cant stand the thought of more time away from the gym, but I know that I have to do whatever it takes to get better!! My back and neck pain are out of control at this point. So, I will just have to suck it up and focus on getting better and other projects, which I have plenty of right now:) More time for photography and studying for my New personal trainer cert! I cant even help my clients with their workouts...so now all i do is point and count for them:) I will feel like Juliane on the Biggest looser! I may even scream at them! LOL! No, thats not my s style of training.Please Say some prayers for me, I hope to be back to my old self again before to long!I will keep you posted on my progress, I start pt next week...Take care and have a great weekend!

OK here we go!! Christmas was really hard again this year...between the trip itself..a 12 hr drive and the fact we almost didnt make it to my parents home in Hilton Head SC...well let me explain, we were in Dunn NC about half way there when a lady ran a red light and hit us on my side(passenger) going about 50! When she hit us, I saw her coming, I braced!! NOT good! We rolled and then when we came to a stop..finally...the truck caught on fire! We had our two small dogs and all our Christmas gifts and clothes for 16 days in the back of the truck! LONG story short..we got out, both dogs ended up being injured and the firefighters saved our Gifts in the back of the truck!! Everything was very smokey and somethings were wet...but all and all the things were ok. I have to start physical theraphy again along with X-rays and MRI's again!! Hubby is fine! Thank God! Needless to say our vacation turned into a Nightmare..that car accident has changed my life forever!! I have nightmares and cant drive with anyone! I keep seeing and feeling the impact over and over...thank goodness we both had on seat belts!!! They do save you, so Please wear them! On another note..we will Never drive that drive again! We have both agreed to FLY from now on! In two more yrs we will be moving to Florida, so we will have to drive the moving truck once..but thats it! LOL!! NO mORE crazy lond drives for us! I dont understand why people dont pay attention when they are behind the wheel!! The lady who hit us said" I didnt see the light"!!! what!!! She blew by others who were dead stopped!! Stay off the phone, dont eat...dont paly with the radio..and for GOD sakes..DONT TEXT!!! Watch the road!!!

I will keep u posted on things as we move into the New year...I promise you more Blogs and new photos!! This year can only get better..Hope u all had a great Holuday and best of everything to you all in 2009!!!
GOD BLESS
