Right Sided Wierdness
There is something really weird happening to me right now and I'm not sure what. I welcome any insight. But my entire right side is wacked out. Yep, that's the medical term I'm giving it, wacked out. So I've mentioned the stress fracture in my right foot and the compressed nerve that is sending numbness down my right leg. I have been feeling like my foot is healing and hopeful that once I can walk more easily the compressed nerve will get better too. And yet, while feeling like this is progressing positively, I am struck with migraines. Not today thank goodness, but several over the last week, all pounding on the right side of my brain. Then, on Saturday my back goes into muscle spasms. The center right of my back clenches up so tight that I spend most of the night tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable position, which is impossible, so Sunday I am barely able to move and if I do much of anything I just scream in agony. Poor Nick is trying to get me to just lay down, but I can’t get comfortable laying down either and then I just have guilt that I’m not doing anything. So today is modestly better, no spasms, just pain, and I concede to spend much of my day in bed. So I have made all these right brain choices to live a more peaceful life and my right side is rebelling. My left brain simply calls it a coincidence and chalks it all up to the stress fracture. It figures that the migraines are due to getting dehydrated from all the Ibuprofen I’ve been taking for my foot, and the back spasms are because I have been favoring my stupid fractured foot. Logical right, so once my foot heals in another months or so I’ll be fine. But now my right brain is contemplating why all this is happening and why all to my right side. Again logically, I’m right handed and I use my right side more so logic would dictate again that it is most likely these pains would be on my right side. But is it, or am I manifesting ailments because I am feeling deep seeded guilt about following my creative passions? I honestly don’t think so, but I do wonder if my creative side is not exhausted or rebelling for some reason and manifesting itself in pain throughout the right side of my body. Because, so far, the left side of my body is completely and utterly pain free. Weird huh?
