There is a reason for my delay in Fitness updates and I thought I should share that with you all. I have a vein in my leg that has been pretty bad since my last pregnancy, you see with all three of my pregnancies I got varicose veins and they eventually went away after giving birth. This last pregnancy apparently my veins didn’t feel like going back to normal and there are two questionable veins.

I don’t have health insurance and so I have been reluctant to get to a doctor, obviously I am currently waiting to see if the lender is going to foreclose on me or not and my husband and are splitting up, I mean I have a lot on my plate financially that I put my own health on the back burner because I have been saving every penny I can in hopes to save my home from foreclosure. I know, I know … my health is number one and I should be treating it like number one.

It was not until I started having such a problem with my vein on a constant basis so much so that I could no longer do my EA Sports Active workouts and having a friend tell me numerous times to call for financial aid from our town health center that I finally requested to have a financial aid package shipped up to me so I can apply to their health center. I am patiently waiting for that package and hopefully I will receive it soon but until then I have to only do occasional Wii Fit workouts because they are low key, sleep with my leg elevated and watch my every move because the vein is pinching and painful.

I will keep you posted as to what happens, I don’t know if it’s a varicose vein or a blood clot, but it needs to be looked at and that is what I plan to do not only so I can get back to working out again, but so I can rest knowing that my health has been taken care of.
