Well, I’m finished with my physical therapy for nearly a week now. At first it seemed like I had really done some good because I was walking straighter, taller, and felt good.
And just that fast it spiraled downward and for the last two or three days I’ve been feeling worse and had more difficulty getting around than I can remember in several years. I don’t know what’s up.
Sigh.
Today is a rough day, not as tough as yesterday, but tough, hard to walk, lots of pain, but laundry must be done. Even sleeping late wasn’t enough to make me feel better.
Maybe I’m trying to do too much as if it’s no big deal, instead of making sure I get my homework done. I let the urgent get in the way of, take over from, the absolutely necessary.
So, tomorrow – or maybe later today – I’ll do my homework no matter how painful or unpleasant it might be and see if I can reverse that spiral.
I will not lose heart even though it seems taken out of me right now.
I will not lose heart.
I feel for you kiddo, but hang in there and just do the necessities of life.

Thanks, Sharon. This dam’ stuff has its flares, though I’ve been pretty much spared of them, just having chronic pain that’s pretty much the same all the time. When flares do occur, it bugs me because I’m used to living with a certain level and can handle that. But I guess you gotta take what you get, right?

Thanks, Marva. I think/hope I have a handle on it since Tony/SO gave me a breather by bringing home some dinner tonight. Monday is rarely a big dinner night anyway, since I have to do laundry, but even the usual easy stuff seemed too much tonight. But I’m feeling better so tomorrow will be the big test.
