Congrats on making it to your new Zumba exercise class!
The 10 question list from session 3 maybe helpful when questioning any anxious and negative thoughts about your pain and soreness..Hope this tip helps..
Today has been a Great Day..I love my New clinic and my New Doctor..Everyone was just great today. They were all so courteous and helpful and easy to talk to.
We did labs today. On the way home I stopped off and did a little clothes shopping in celebration. Then we stopped and got a bit to eat and the next stop was the pharmacy to pick up my meds, diuretics and potassium to help the old ticker. When I got home I had a message from the new doctors medical assistant. The new doctor had gone over my labs already and my D levels were very low so we are starting me off on 500,000 i.u. of vitamin D a week for 8 weeks..I have a follow up visit in one month to make sure my edema and blood pressure are under control and in the mean time he is referring my to a surgeon for another opinion on hernia surgery..
So it looks like all is Well in paradise for now. This is a wonderful change. I have gone from the dark into the light today...
And that is the key, you are trying, you are still trying, 80 posts, and less than three months. You have no idea how well you are doing. You have a powerful mind and you understand. Now if you can just accept you are pushing yourself in this quest for freedom then you will be able to accept there are bumps in the road. If you find a need to slow down then please do. I would like to see you build a good memory bank of positives before you make a serious stab at the negatives so you don't get rebound. Keep doing what you are doing just watch for the negatives that try to sneak in. And they will with every new thing you try. They did to me. An important thing I was taught was to never question that what I was doing was right when I hit the bumps in the road. And here I am now with very few bumps in my road. I think you have the ability to do better than I did. You see I have some serious defects in my background that built some pretty strong core beliefs so I believe that If I could win then anyone can.
I felt good enough to attend a zumba class today. After I felt a little sore and some chest tightness so of course I had all these anxious thoughts running through my head - They still are - I am trying to accept...
I had a good experience playing with a spreadsheet, and finally figuring out how to draw a graph. What concerns me is that so much time has taken me to do this, that the tasks that need to get done are spreading me thin.
And I'm afraid the insight that might leave me restless tonight, is that I appear to wish to meet my own need to "get things done" than to meet the needs of my parent, as though my obsessive side has taken over my life, instead of being compassionate.
Author Ray Robertson quotes a Japanese tanka, in his book "Why Not fifteen reasons to live" which is a type of poem, praising someone's beloved this way:
If from your mouth
there hung a hundred year-old tongue
and you would babble
I still would not cease to care
but indeed my love would grow.
I need to take a walk to clear my head since it seems my intentions are misplaced.
How is your day going? I'm getting very little done and enjoying it. All I've done is light the wood stove and start bread.
Drinking too much coffee doesn't count. I did sit on the deck for a bit. The next week is going to be nice so there is no rush. I should make more pie shells and freeze them. I want to make Pumpkin Pie for Thanks Giving next week. (canada)
I want to make Pumpkin Hermit Cookies too. A moist cookie with dates and apple pieces in it. You can use any fruit. Dry or fresh.
It is like this here, rush all summer (as much as I can actually rush) into fall then when winter comes it is time for the other hobbies. There is little else to do till march when I will start plants again. Which reminds me, I need to put a couple of buckets of soil into the greenhouse for spring because I will need it before the ground thaws.
Just a few garden tools left to put away but it is close to supper and I'm tired. They can wait till tomorrow. I put in the flowerbed markers so they won't get disturbed when the snow gets removed from the driveway. I have to take care of those plants, they came 3000 miles to live here.
It cleared off enough to see all the fresh snow on the mountains. It is only 2 degrees above freezing right now. Brrrrrr.
it was supposed to rain today but didn't. That is a bonus to a nice day. It might snow tonight but not stay.
