1. It's Halloween. This is one of my favorite holidays, even ranking up there above Christmas thanks to all of the ridiculousness, sugar, costumes, and pumpkin flavored ev-er-y-thing! Including the pumpkin pie Clif bars I greedily ordered in bulk from REI. Oh so much yummy!
2. I finally had my appointment with my ortho this morning and he all but ruled out a meniscal tear (happy dance!). Since last weekend, my pain has largely subsided to 0/10. I am having better and worse days but the pain was far from constant by 3 days s/p. An MRI was still ordered but only after a long chat about the pros and cons of meniscal surgery, as well as the specificity of special tests for meniscal tears. I felt like I was taking a practical exam! I'm still keeping my workouts low key until my follow up next week but hopefully it will just be some PT and good to go. I really just want to be sure that my I'm not making anything worse while exercising.
3. Did I mention that it's Halloween? It was the perfect excuse to wear cheesy themed jewelry and fuzzy striped socks... and take bad pictures.
4. Trick-or-Treating and Halloween are the perfect excuse for every child to cancel their PT appointment today, meaning I ended up with an overwhelming 2 kids on my caseload. That translates to getting lots of paperwork done, leaving uber-duber early, and getting home in time to enjoy the trick-or-treaters!
So my evening luckily included a bowl of Twix, Pinterest, and a piece of cheesecake enjoyed on my front steps which are tastefully covered in the ugliest carpet still surviving from the 70s!
Now... gearing up for an early bedtime; this weekend was way more eventful that I was prepared for!
