Week 1
Dec 28, 2008
One week down, and for the first time I feel optimistic. OK, maybe not for the first time, but I feel justified in feeling optimistic. After crying on the phone with my mom about how depressed I was about not being able to get out of bed, my back pain eased up. I was able to walk twice on my treadmill, fold a basket of laundry, throw medicine/vitamin wrappers away, clean up dishes etc. OH IT FELT SOOO GOOD!!! I never thought that would be all in one sentence. So, I am feeling optimistic about the day tomorrow. I eventually overdid it with my food and set myself back in pain. But, I am looking forward to my day tomorrow, thinking I may not have to spend the day in my room, and I may even try a quick trip to the grocery store. My kids will be happy too, with my surgery and needing so much of my hubby's support while they are on winter break, they are going stir crazy too.
