Yep, it wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t graceful, I wasn’t where I needed to be all the time, but the dogs and I managed to make it through 1 1/2 classes of dog agility.

I did all of Maggie’s runs — they were pretty flowing and only a couple of front crosses — they hurt the worse — in front cross, you get in front of the dog and turn in front of them. As you might imagine, it’s hard on the knee. I do better with rear crosses as you drift behind the dog’s path to do those. Basically dog is ahead of you, and you move to the other side of the obstacle. Front crosses cause tighter turns than rear crosses, but like I said, you have to rotate on the knee and you are usually digging in and planting.

Marcie’s runs were tougher as they were in the barn, tighter, and almost all front crosses. We only did have the class, two courses, and the first one really bit us inthe butts. We both made mistakes. Marcie felt mama pain vibes and was running slow. Mother was behind all the time, even behind slow Marcie.

She’s a good dog though as she compensated for me on the second run and was perfect. Again not graceful, and I caused her some time wasting, but we got through it.

Best yet, is that even though I was still and sore when I got home, the hot tub releived most of the pain.

I love my PT!

It feels almost 100% this morning. I hope it stays this way though I’ll probably mess it up tonight.

Next two days are going to be a mess. I have to get the furnace fixed this afternoon — provided the part is avaiable. I’m going to check on that fairly early. Have to get my CDE appointment fixed, since they want to cancel on me. Probably just skip it as I see the endo that day. She’s over booked.

I have to profile my students, which means giving them a practice test. That means getting copies. One of our copiers are down, and it’s the hardest to use for this job anyway. Hopefully the co-op teacher will let me borrow her copier since i’m careful to use it for emergencies and I gave her reams of paper.

Of course, I was told this yesterday evenng.

That’s not a big problem, since I really don’t want to start a new unit tomorrow. Grading and profiling is going to be a pain and will probably have to be done on Monday.

Because of my mystery news (which might not happen), I’m trying to keep everything graded, everything planned, and everything ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Was on my feet more than I should have been, but the Physical Therapist fixed it for the time being.

I can’t get over how good a session makes me feel.

I am going to try to train my dogs tomorrow night. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.

Almost forgot — got lab results — some values are NOT good but will know more on Monday. A1C was 6.6. Not my best, but not one of my worst since the pump (worst is 7.0 on the pump, my first few months).

Whatever was wrong with me Sunday night and all day Monday is over now.  Thankfully.

Knee isn’t bad.  It’s much better than it was last week before the weird injury.  I see the PT again tomorrow.  I’ve done most of his exercises.

Bad news — the furnace stopped working and we have to replace a board we replaced a few years ago.  ARGH!  On Thursday, as I have a meeting after school on Wednesday AND PT.

And watch this space for interesting news.  It’s going to be kinda of like that one year on the TV series Dallas, if it happens.  And who knows when.

More good news. My blood sugar is doing better in the evenings, but still high during the day. Maybe it’s the 35 students in 1st period and the 30+ in second period who tagged my walls.
