Keep Moving
I must keep moving! These pain experiences are happening more frequently and sometimes are much longer. Last night Karen said my episode may have been 2 minutes. I can’t make an episode happen so I don’t know what is causing it. Most of the time it seems to be nerves...
Self-Care is Important
Today is a good day! But last night was terrible ...you would think I would read ingredients on a new food...but I didn’t so I have been tired and in more pain all day. I decided today was a good day to rest from my workout because self-care is important and rest is...
Choose Positivity
Today has been a great day to choose positivity, following 2 other great days. Thursday I did most of my workout and made a huge pot of soup with onion, carrots, celery, cabbage, corn, pumpkin, ground turkey and plant based sausage. It turned out great. There are two...
Another Great Day
Today was a great day! I needed this. The last week has been a struggle. Especially Saturday, Sunday and Monday. My body has recovered from my procedure well but as my body gets used to balancing hormones it has been hard. I had my post op appointment today and the NP...
3 Days Post Surgery…
It has been 3 days post surgery. I am getting around fine, but I know I can't do what I was able to do before my surgery and that is hard on me. It is amazing how you can work hard to create a healthy habit, like working out every day and then something happens and...
Pray For Each Other
Surgery day. I never realized how much has to be done to prepare for surgery! I spent the last 2 days cleaning, doing laundry and removing jewelry. I did my workouts both days, just as I will do in a few minutes. I don’t care for the antibacterial soap I had to wash...
Being Thankful
Today was a good and THANKFULL day! After 2-3 hours of sleep I did my workout and was dressed and ready to leave at 9 am...not my normal routine but today was pre-op day. We traveled to Legacy Salmon Creek and spent about 2 hours there. When we were done there, we...
Doing the Work Anyway
Today has been a wonderful day. It started sad but eventually turned to glad. I had a very stressful dream that left me very sad. I couldn’t shake it. My brain wanted to dissociate, which is a normal trauma response for me, so it was hard to make different choices but...
Being Human
Today was a big day with lots of emotions. I couldn’t sleep last night so on less than 4 hrs of sleep I did my workout and found myself at PeaceHealth Imaging for the first CT scan of my life. It went well and quickly. When we were pulling out of the parking garage,...
Food for Thought
I am proving myself consistent at having trouble with my limits. With everything I did yesterday, I have been sluggish all day. I would love a nap but I am afraid I will have trouble sleeping tonight...Karen won’t be home for 2 hours. Today I made a huge crockpot of...
