Motivation
I haven't spoke much about this, but today is the day I start without any type of pain medicine for my back. I am or am told supposed to be on it for the rest of my life. I refuse to. I am 28 years old. I have a fractured back, and a slipped disk. I have decided to start working out, taking vitiams and NO MORE pain medicine. I have been worked up to a huge amount. Well, no one wants me off them, I decided I would take myself off them. I know what the pain feels like without them, because I used to not have it. The doctors then started giving them to me, only uping dosages because the pain was to much. I've had it. I have read a lot on this and have seen many people are find just exercising, warm baths, and vitiams. I know I can do this, but this week will be hard. I have been on them for about 5 months now continuously, so i know i will have withdrawls. Please pray I make it through ok. I am not spending my whole time in bed. I am forcing myself to get up and go work out.
My husband sent me a letter of encouragement today. He told me every push up he does, he thinks of me, every pull up, me, every run...me. He told me that is what motivates him to drive hard and to get through everything. I think it is safe to say, with the love you all see I have for him, I can use him as my motivation. I'm just scared to be in pain again . I am more happy though, to live...again.
I got three letters today. One contained a Rosary from the church there. I put it on right away.
In my area we are having servere storms and tornados, I will write more when they pass...I have tears in my eyes because I never thought I'd be going through this type of thing. I don't like to cry. I will be back..
