This Thursday marks the one-month anniversary of my self-induced tailbone and spine drama.
I am a lot better! However, I still have to walk slowly, lay down several times a day, try not to bend my back, sit on a special pillow, and make sure I take painkillers before bed so that I can sleep.
I’ll be honest. I have moments of being angry with myself about this. Luckily, I know that refusing to forgive myself over a less than brilliant idea only hurts momma.
I spent yesterday knitting on the couch. I walk slow. I don’t bend. I don’t drive. I am totally getting in touch with my inner old woman, and it is good!
After all, I’ll still be me even after my body loses all its sexiness and when it just doesn’t work as well as it does now. This is a good realization to have actually. Brings even more peace.
Hugs!
