Bed Rest???...Oh Nooooooo...

So my over ambition yesterday for walking has landed me on bed rest by the doctor.
I ran into complications later that night that resulted in excessive bleeding and cramping. The nurse on call was so amazing. She told me what to do and then even called back this morning to check on me. Then she told me that she was going to call the office (it was her day off) and tell them I was coming in.

My doctor was a bit concerned but everything looks ok. He told me to enjoy the rainy day and that I was to sit on a couch or lie in bed for the rest of the day and even the weekend. I am just thankful that nothing is seriously wrong and that all will be ok, but really BED REST??? That is the worst possible punishment to give me because I hate to sit still. I love to be busy and on the go...but this time I am going to listen to the doctor, after all he did go to school for over 8 years and has been at gynecology for a long time...he probably knows what he is talking about.
Oh and if you live in Greenville...I HIGHLY recommend Carolina Women's Health, they have blown me away with their 'above and beyond the call of duty' actions! Simply amazing!

And as for walking/exercise...I will stick to walking the local high school track slowly building up the mileage once I am off of bed rest! No more ambitious multi milers. I've got to take it slow!
