Life certainly is not without it's battles..but it sure keeps it interesting. Mind you, none of what I am going through at this point has anything to do with my surgery...The only thing is , I can not take anti inflammatory which would have helped. Instead I am going to therapy and getting deep massages..painful but helpful. yesterday I almost hit the ceiling. Eve decided to check my sciatica without warning me...Holy cow!! She sure knows the pressure points, that's for sure..Hurt like a mother, but afterward it felt a bit better in my ankle and heel. So now we are thinking sciatica might be the culprit and tensing up that Achilles tendon. They wrote up some papers so we shall see what happens. I think I will be in therapy for a while :-(
The bad news is, I have slowed down considerably because of the pain...I try to take my own advice and "suck up and deal" but at times it is hard. Because my movement has stopped I have gained a few pounds. Of course that send me into complete panic..I NEVER want to visit the land of "Fluffy" again...and I won't. The therapist gave me some exercises i CAN do and said moderate time on the bike and Gazelle are okay...I'm having company, but I will fit it in where I can an as soon as I'm able...I will go back on protein drinks and exercise and get this off...Quickly!!
We are like alcoholic's in that respect...always in recovery, never totally cured..There will always be the uneducated people out there who think obesity is just about eating...WRONG..it is a disease just like alcoholism or any other addiction. The only difference is, we can't remove our addiction from our life. There are also those who think it will never happen to them...well think again people...No one is as smart or as perfect as they THINK they are..The great thing about life is that it keeps testing us...I love a challenge..don't you?
