I Don't Have to Shave my Legs! Praise Allah!

Getting ready this AM I used the ProWrap that I bought from the Physio to make my home made Patella Strap. This supports the kneecap and tendons ( I think) and it might help with the knees, although in the end, if it doesn't hurt me then who cares. If it does, I can just rip it off. The problem with using the ProWrap to make it is, that you wrap this thin foam around your leg and then roll it up. That makes the band that goes around your knee under the kneecap. The hair on your legs (usually a male problem) gets caught in this stuff and is pulled out like someone doing a wax job on you. OUCH!!!!

In my case, if I am careful, I can pull the hairs out of the foam before they are yanked out by the roots like an unwary turnip in a farmers field. But enough about that. Suffice it to say that I don't need to shave my legs (this would be good as I am going to Greece - Right?). Greek men don't need any more encouragement.

It was cold this morning, ON MY LAST RUN BEFORE I GO TO GREECE, I could see my breath and that was kind of cool (no pun intended).

I was listening to music (Light Up by Styx - best song) but I also had some Basic Greek as well. So I ran and learned, kind of like "Greek on the Go". I should patent that before someone else does!

I have enough slime to get me through (9 packs left) so I am OK. I will go out today and buy Nipple Bandaids so that I am good to go. I am starting to think about packing. It will be hard not to overpack. I am only taking carry on luggage so I need to keep it light.

Yesterday I went to pick up the travel documents and Joints In Motion Team Shirts for Dan and I. It took almost 2.5 hours for me to get to downtown. Between the traffic tie ups, the movie shoots and the road construction it was almost as bad as I hear Athens traffic is. But I have our stuff and we are READY!.

Lori is going to drive us to Mark's and Bernita (Marks wife) has arranged a taxi chit for us so that we can get to the airport in style.

This is gonna be fun!
