@becsbuddy, So glad you are back even if a lot slower! You did know some time back and it is frustrating when docs aren't listening. Hope the new treatment kicks in quickly and each day finds you feeling better.

Daughter told me yesterday that two more fires fairly near her in Boulder have broken out and now more haze and debris that travels to their neighborhood by winds is making it more difficult for her hikes and general air quality is much poorer. The earlier fire has yet to be completely put out and now more are popping up.

My walks have been greatly shortened from a sciatica nerve flare up and coupled with corporal tunnel from too much computer has now resulted in over a month of heating pads, topicals, Tylenol and hot baths. Discouraging and some walks are more purely symbolic for keeping to my goal than really providing the exercise and outing I'd like.

Hope our other walkers are making better strides and wishing all well and continued safety.

@fiesty76 @becsbuddy. I'm on the "injured list" too. I'm unable to walk my usually distance of 3 miles due to hip bursitis and SI joint disfunction. Had a cortisone shot four weeks ago, at my follow up appointment, my ortho doctor prescribed PT but the one he sent me to who takes my insurance are all booked up until mid November. Had to dig into my pocket to go back to my own PT. They squeezed me in two time slots this week. They don't take my insurance but will give me a cash discount.
The weather is cooler after a week of 90s. It's such a shame that I can't enjoy the fall weather with long walks. Hope the PT helps and I have some good news to report to my ortho doctor at next appointment.
Take care everyone, speedy recovery! Go Dodgers! We're going to the World Series!!!
