Rehost of Run/Walk Form

Sorry I haven't written in so long I have been miserable with neck and arm pain. You know the neck pain I have been complaining about since May? Well Monday we did a neck MRI and lo and behold there is a small tumor mass that is wrapped around my C6 nerve coming out of my neck that is pressing on the nerve causing the neck, arm, shoulder pain and the numb right hand. It had gotten so bad in the last three weeks that all I have done is lay around on ice and heat and take pain pills. I went to see a pain management doctor on Tuesday and he gave me a steroid injection in the epidural space in my neck. It's supposed to help the pain and reduce the inflammation and hopefully I can regain a normal life again. It hasn't helped yet much but he said it could be 2-14 days before it starts to help.

I guess I will also be starting radiation to that area to try and shrink that tumor. It's in a bad spot around the nerve and it's sitting on an artery so it's not possible to biopsy or remove it.

I tried to go out and exercise once in the last two weeks so you know I must not be feeling good. I'm going to try and go walk right now, I'm so stiff from laying around.

The WR fun run/walk is coming soon!! I've gotten a lot of response for walkers and runners and I'm so excited. The shirts have been ordered but I did order just a few extra. But remember you can come and walk or run without having to sign up. Just show up a little before 7:30 on August 22nd and join us. I only needed pre registration if you wanted a shirt. I hope to get at least 50 people there if not many more. I already have around 40 signed up so I'm hoping lots more get up and come out, you can even bring little ones in strollers if you want! Just be there!

There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals in each gender age category, 19 and under, 20-29,
30-39, 40-49, and 50+. By the way, the shirts are white with the design just in the corner left side. I did it that way so it wasn't so large on the front and you can wear it again and have it not be so big. Hope you like them.

Have a great day! Heather.
