Sakura Matsuri

[kiramaru7]

Today I went to see the cherry blossoms & enjoy the Saukra Matsuri festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. It was a lot of fun, despite my messed up foot. (the stress fracture is back again T.T) I wore one of my kimono, had a very sweet woman form Japan come over to help me with it, went on a "tour" of the Japanese garden, ate a chicken bento lunch (have had better XD), had a few peeps take my pic & then came home. XD *is tired* The taiko drumming was awesome! Even if I was sitting on a bench & couldn't really see them, yo could still hear them! :D I Also got a white t-shirt with some goldfish on it. Very pretty & very simple. :D



Here's me in all my fat glory, by some cherry blossoms. XD

MRIs are strange things - at least you can sit with your foot in it - last time I had one, my head was in the thing! Yuck. Bad thing is, they are so damn expensive. But if there's something to see, that'll pick it up. Oh man, I hate steroids - it screws up all the hormones in my body and I'm miserable and crazy for weeks afterwards! But if it will help you, then I'm all for it - just try not to eat everything in the house while you're on them... that part really sucks! :( Hope they can get to the bottom of it all soon! *hugs*

Yeah, although last time I had to lie down for it & got a groin cramp trying to keep my foot still. T.T it had to be up at a weird angle. T.T Plus I asked for hard rock & got some weird-arsed muzak & yelled at for moving. XD

I did pick up the stress fracture, so yeah. And I did get my authorization, unfortunately the doctor's office didn't leave it on the answering machine & since it's Wednesday, they're gone after 3 & I got home at 3:15. XD So I call back tomorrow & make my appointments then. :D

I'm not happy about it, but if I need them, I need them. *prefers to heal/get batter on my own* I'll try not too. I'm already fat enough & sad I can't get back to the gym. (which is the only way I've managed to lose any weight; by working out) Then only good thing, by the time they do figure out what's what, & I can hit the gym, it'll be warm enough to use the pool. That way, I'll get some resistance training in a setting that's easy on the body. :D

*HUGGLES* <3

Yarg. Good luck with that! XD

Hopefully, you'll get everything straightened out today! :D *fingers-crossed*

Oh that just sucks! Be strong and yeah, at least there's the silver-lining of better weather and the POOL! XD Aqua-aerobics would be fantastic for you! Go you! :D

Thanks!

Thanks! I did get my authorization number & I just got off the phone with my appointment. :D

Yeah & walking is hard, cuz I'm unbalanced & I feel like I walk like a lil old lady. XD Everything hurts & cramps up on me. T.T

The pool should be good & water aerobics sounds fun! Hopefully I won't drown myself. XD *can't swim* Thanks! :D

What you need is an awesome cane! Really! :D

I didn't know you can't swim - but thinking back, I think you've told me that before. Maybe you should learn in the pool this summer - exercise and a life-skill, all in one shot? :D

Yeah! XD

I might have. About all I can do is doggie paddle & back stroke. XD I should look & see if they have lessons for adults as it would be a good skill to know.
